Configured for acceleration signal transmission in Bently Nevada 330400 and 330425 Accelerometer systems, the Bently Nevada 16710-82 (16710-82 Interconnect Cable) provides direct electrical connection between accelerometer sensors and vibration monitoring interfaces.

Model Configuration Details

The 16710-82 is a 3-conductor shielded armored interconnect cable designed for Bently Nevada 330400 and 330425 accelerometer assemblies. The cable includes a 3-socket plug on one end and terminal lugs on the opposite end.

The cable uses 22 AWG (0.5 mm2) conductors inside an armored construction. The specified cable length is 82 ft, with supported installation lengths ranging from 3.0 ft (0.9 m) to 99 ft (30 m).

Hardware Specifications

Machinery Vibration Signal Interface

The 16710-82 interconnect cable transfers acceleration measurement signals between Bently Nevada accelerometers and monitoring system inputs. The cable is designed for use with 330400 and 330425 accelerometers that measure casing acceleration in machinery vibration applications.

The 330400 accelerometer provides a 50 g peak amplitude range with 100 mV/g sensitivity, while the 330425 model provides a 75 g peak amplitude range with 25 mV/g sensitivity. Correct cable selection maintains the electrical characteristics required for vibration signal processing.

Armored Cable and Signal Protection Characteristics

The armored construction provides mechanical protection against crushing, impact, and external cable damage in industrial installation environments. The shielded three-conductor structure supports signal transmission while reducing electromagnetic and radio frequency interference effects.

For machinery monitoring systems, correct cable routing contributes to measurement stability. The cable should be installed away from high-current conductors and rotating equipment surfaces to maintain vibration signal quality.

Rotor Vibration Measurement Considerations

The 16710-82 cable supports acceleration-based machinery monitoring rather than eddy-current shaft displacement measurement. Accelerometer signals are used to evaluate casing vibration response, including vibration behavior associated with rotating machinery components.

Proper connector installation and cable shielding practices help maintain channel separation and reduce cross-talk effects between vibration measurement circuits.
