Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 991 Thrust Transmitter is a 2-wire, loop-powered device designed for OEMs using centrifugal air compressors, pumps, motors, or fans. It converts shaft axial displacement from a 3300 NSv proximity probe into a 4–20 mA current signal, enabling easy integration into control systems for machinery protection and diagnostics.

FAQ
Q1: What is the main function of the 991 Thrust Transmitter?
A1: It converts axial shaft displacement into a 4–20 mA signal for machinery monitoring.
Q2: What sensor is compatible with this transmitter?
A2: It works with the Bently Nevada 3300 NSv proximity probe and matching extension cables.
Q3: Can I use this in hazardous areas?
A3: Yes, it has approvals for CSA Division 2, ATEX Zone 0/2, and IECEx.
Q4: Is the PROX OUT signal isolated?
A4: No, use the 122115-01 Test Adapter for safe connection to AC-powered test equipment.
Q5: What mounting options are available?
A5: It supports DIN-rail clips and bulkhead screws as standard.
Q6: What happens if the probe becomes disconnected?
A6: The output drops below 3.6 mA within 100 µs to avoid false alarms.
Q7: What is the linear output range?
A7: 0.25 to 1.65 mm (10 to 65 mils) for the Prox Out dynamic signal.
Q8: Can it be used for plant-wide diagnostics?
A8: No, it’s not suitable for systems like System 1. It’s intended for simpler monitoring setups.
Q9: What’s the typical leadwire distance for the Proximitor output?
A9: Up to 3 meters (10 feet) from the transmitter to the BNC diagnostic output.
Q10: What tools are recommended for testing?
A10: Use the 122115-01 Test Adapter for signal isolation and analysis with oscilloscopes.
