Information
- Bently Nevada 991-06-70-03-05 converts shaft thrust movement into a proportional current-loop signal while retaining a separate diagnostic gap output. The selected 0.6–0–0.6 mm scale, initial probe gap and receiving-channel direction work together to define the usable measurement.
Transducer circuit: 7.0 m matched 3300 NSv system
Mounting: DIN clips and screws
The two-wire loop operates with 12–35 VDC at the transmitter terminals and provides 4–20 mA over the selected range. Total load is limited by the available supply voltage, with a specified maximum of 1000 Ω at 35 V. Independent zero and span adjustments support loop setup, while the TEST pin allows a variable DC input to check the loop separately from the mechanical transducer.
The non-isolated PROX OUT diagnostic signal has 10 kΩ output impedance and is calibrated for a 10 MΩ load. A 122115-01 test adapter isolates grounded AC-powered equipment and corrects the diagnostic signal polarity. The Not OK circuit drives the loop below 3.6 mA within 100 µs and recovers within 0.1 s after the fault is cleared; the receiving control system must handle the configured protection logic.

Application scope: Use the loop for axial-position measurement on appropriate compressors, pumps, motors or fans. Protection alarming and logic belong to the receiving machinery control system; the transmitter does not reproduce every function of a continuous monitor.
Compressor thrust trending
Convert the selected 0.6–0–0.6 mm axial movement into a current signal for the machine control input.Compact NSv measurement
Use the matched NSv probe arrangement where the measurement location has limited physical clearance.Current-loop integration
Connect to a correctly scaled receiver while respecting supply voltage and the complete loop-load resistance.Isolated diagnostic testing
Use the diagnostic gap signal through the specified adapter when AC-powered test equipment is connected.
Keep the receiving channel configured for 0.6–0–0.6 mm and confirm its direction.
Use the correct probe and extension cable for the 7 m NSv system.
Allow usable travel in both directions before adjusting zero and span.
Include cable and receiver resistance in the supply-dependent load limit.
Use 122115-01 for grounded AC-powered equipment on PROX OUT.
Test the normal thrust signal, Not OK indication and receiving alarm logic before release.

Technical notes
Engineering relationship: Include all cable and receiver resistance in the loop-load calculation. Rmax = 43.5 × (Vps − 12) Ω, with the stated 1000 Ω limit at 35 V; excessive resistance prevents full-scale output.
Installation boundary: PROX OUT is not isolated from the 4–20 mA loop. Use the designated test adapter for grounded AC-powered equipment and account for the diagnostic signal polarity.
Technical basis: Bently Nevada 991 Thrust Transmitter Datasheet, 141618 Rev. R. The selected range and mounting apply to 991-06-70-03-05. Electrical performance uses the stated reference conditions; TEST-input loop accuracy is separate from complete probe-and-target measurement accuracy.
FAQ View All FAQ
-
What axial range is selected by 991-06-70-03-05?The selected loop range is 0.6–0–0.6 mm. Probe gap must allow travel in both directions so that the transmitter can reach the required full-scale endpoints.
-
Which mounting hardware corresponds to 991-06-70-03-05?The 03 mounting selection provides DIN clips and screws. It differs from the DIN-clip-only and bulkhead-screw-only selections.
-
Can the 7 m system of 991-06-70-03-05 use an arbitrary proximity probe?No. Use one compatible 3300 NSv probe and extension cable with the matched 7 m electrical system length. Connector fit alone does not establish calibration compatibility.
-
How does 991-06-70-03-05 respond to a Not OK transducer condition?The loop output falls below 3.6 mA within 100 µs. After the Not OK condition is removed, signal output is restored within 0.1 seconds.
-
Why does 991-06-70-03-05 require isolation when connected to an AC-powered analyzer?PROX OUT is not isolated from the current loop. Grounded AC-powered equipment can affect the loop and create a false alarm; use the 122115-01 test adapter for the required signal isolation.
-
Does the ±1.5% loop accuracy of 991-06-70-03-05 include every probe-gap error?No. That typical accuracy is specified from the TEST input to voltage across a 250 Ω loop resistance. It is not a blanket accuracy claim for every target, gap and probe installation.
-
Can 991-06-70-03-05 replace the alarm logic of a full machinery monitor?The transmitter provides a proportional loop signal and Not OK behavior, while the receiving control system performs the protection logic. Functions such as Timed OK defeat, Danger Bypass and Trip Multiply are not available as continuous-monitor functions.
-
What must be checked before using the approval option of 991-06-70-03-05?The 05 selection covers CSA Division 2, ATEX Zone 0/Zone 2 and ABS maritime approval options. Confirm the actual approval marking and applicable installation conditions for the supplied unit and site.
