Product Short Description
The 991-01-XX-01-00 is a purpose-built industrial thrust transmitter manufactured by Bently Nevada (USA). It converts shaft axial displacement signals from the 3300 NSv series non-contact proximity probe system into a standardized 4–20 mA DC loop-powered output, enabling real-time monitoring of rotor axial position for critical rotating machinery. Designed for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) seeking a compact, easy-to-integrate solution for machinery protection and control, it serves as a core component in condition monitoring systems across high-demand industrial sectors.

Core Functional Features
-
Integrated Proximitor Design
Eliminates the need for an external proximity sensor module, simplifying field wiring and installation while reducing system footprint.
-
Dual Diagnostic Outputs
Non-isolated PROX OUT & COM terminals plus a BNC coaxial connector simultaneously output dynamic vibration waveform and gap voltage signals for on-site troubleshooting.
-
Non-Interactive Zero & Span Adjustment
Independent potentiometers under the unit label allow precise calibration of zero point and measurement range without disassembly.
-
Built-In Test Input Pin
Enables rapid loop output verification using a variable DC voltage source, supporting quick maintenance checks and system validation.
-
Advanced Fault Protection
- Power-up Inhibit Circuitry: Mitigates signal errors caused by line voltage transients during startup.
- Not OK/Signal Defeat Logic: Automatically detects probe faults or loose connections, preventing high-output false alarms and ensuring system safety.
-
Robust Environmental Hardening
Potted construction and IP67 rating enable operation in high-humidity, high-vibration, and harsh industrial environments, including Zone 2/ATEX Zone 2 hazardous locations.
-
Long-Distance Signal Transmission
Supports up to 13 km (8 miles) of cable length between the transmitter and control system, ideal for large-scale plant layouts.
