Bently Nevada AM3100T2-Z2-00 Top-Exit Zone 2 IEPE Accelerometer
A case-isolated, hermetically sealed IEPE accelerometer for industrial vibration measurement in applicable Zone 2 installations.
Product Profile
Bently Nevada AM3100T2-Z2-00 is identified by its AM3100T2-Z2 base as a top-exit IEPE accelerometer with 100 mV/g sensitivity, 80 g peak acceleration range and Zone 2 hazardous-area rating. The final -00 remains part of the exact supply identity and should be matched to the complete label and order record.
Its integrated amplifier produces a voltage proportional to acceleration and uses an industry-standard constant-current supply. The 316L stainless-steel body is hermetically sealed, case isolated, internally shielded and protected against reverse wiring.
Technical Data
System Role
Integrated IEPE electronics boost the vibration signal and reduce susceptibility to electrical noise.
Case isolation and internal shielding help prevent ground-loop effects in permanent installations.
The stainless-steel hermetic body supports harsh industrial service with ESD and reverse-wiring protection.
The sensor is supplied for a defined Zone 2 approval arrangement and must be installed to the applicable drawing.
Compatibility & Service
- Keep the mounting face clean and use the approved stud and torque procedure.
- Route shielded twisted-pair cable away from power conductors and keep the total cable length within 100 ft.
- Verify the input provides 18 to 30 VDC and 2 to 10 mA constant current before connection.
- Record bias voltage, noise floor, polarity and vibration response after installation.
Applications
- Permanent machinery-casing vibration measurement with a constant-current IEPE input.
- High-frequency condition monitoring within the published 0.4 to 14 kHz range.
- Compact top-exit installations using the 1/4-28 mounting interface.
- Applicable Class I Division 2 or Zone 2 service after approval and installation-drawing verification.
FAQ
Q01How should the -00 ending on AM3100T2-Z2-00 be handled?+
Retain it as part of the exact supply identity and confirm it against the complete label and order record before accepting a substitute.
Q02Can AM3100T2-Z2-00 connect to an ordinary voltage input?+
It requires an IEPE-compatible constant-current supply of 2 to 10 mA within the published 18 to 30 VDC source range.
Q03Which AM3100T2-Z2-00 connector pin carries the signal?+
For its 2-pin top-exit connector, pin A is power/signal and pin B is common; the shell is ground.
Q04How should cable be selected for a long AM3100T2-Z2-00 run?+
Use shielded twisted-pair cable and keep the run no longer than the published 100 ft recommendation.
Q05Which baseline should be recorded after mounting AM3100T2-Z2-00?+
Record the approximately 12 VDC bias, stable noise floor, known vibration response, connector condition and the channel scaling used for 100 mV/g.
