The Bently Nevada 177230 Seismic Transmitter is a cost-effective and straightforward device designed to monitor the impact of seismic activity on equipment. It translates ground vibrations into a proportional electrical signal for integration with monitoring systems.

Key Features:

• Loop-Powered:

  • Operates on a standard 2-wire, 4-20mA loop.
  • Simplifies power supply and reduces wiring complexity.

• Piezoelectric Sensor:

  • Uses a piezoelectric crystal to convert ground vibrations into an electrical signal.
  • Offers good sensitivity for detecting seismic activity.

• Velocity Output:

  • Provides a 4-20mA signal proportional to the ground movement's overall velocity (typically 0-1 inch/second peak velocity).
  • Facilitates easy interpretation of seismic intensity.

• Compact Design:

  • Small and lightweight, making installation simple in various locations around equipment.

• Intrinsically Safe:

  • Meets intrinsic safety standards.
  • Suitable for use in hazardous environments with flammable materials.
