Selection Recommendations and Precautions
Selection Recommendations
- Choose BENTLY 79492-01 for monitoring rotating machinery with speeds of 600–60,000 RPM (turbines, compressors). For low-frequency vibrations, consider the BENTLY 79493-01;
- Ensure cable length does not exceed 300 m—longer lengths may distort the 4–20 mA signal.
Precautions
- Mount BENTLY 79492-01 on rigid surfaces to avoid measurement interference from base vibrations;
- Regularly inspect housing hermeticity—damaged seals can allow moisture ingress, causing sensor failure;
- Calibrate the sensor via BENTLY service every 2 years, especially in harsh environments, to maintain accuracy.
