Frequently Asked Questions
What is this RS901104-03-050-10-01 R200602-400808 sensor actually used for?
This RS901104 / RS901104-03-050-10-01 (R200602-400808) is basically a Bently Nevada proximity probe for eddy current measurement. In real use it sits on turbines or compressors and keeps an eye on shaft vibration, radial movement, and eccentricity. Nothing complicated in concept, but in machinery protection it’s one of those signals people don’t want to lose.
Which system does the RS901104-03-050-10-01 R200602-400808 normally work with?
Most of the time it’s tied into the Bently Nevada 3500 system. You’ll see it connected with modules like 3500/40M or 3500/42M proximitor monitors. Once it’s in the rack, the signal goes straight into the protection system and condition monitoring software, usually System 1 in plant setups.
What specs matter most for the RS901104-03-050-10-01 R200602-400808?
The key point is the 2mm detection range—it’s tuned for small but precise shaft movement. Power side is standard 24V DC, and it runs on a 2-wire loop-powered setup. Wiring is simple, and it tends to behave well over longer cable runs without much signal noise.
Is the RS901104-03-050-10-01 R200602-400808 really used for safety shutdown systems?
Yes, in many plants it’s part of API 670 compliant protection loops. When vibration goes too high, the signal can feed into ESD logic. It’s not the “shutdown device” itself, but it plays a direct role in triggering those protection actions in turbine and compressor systems.
Can the RS901104-03-050-10-01 R200602-400808 handle harsh plant conditions?
Usually yes. It’s built with IP67 level protection, so oil mist, dust, humidity, and temperature swings are not a big issue. That’s why it’s common in power plants and petrochemical sites where conditions are far from clean lab environments.
What does the of the RS901104-03-050-10-01 R200602-400808 part number mean?
RS901104 is the base model series. The middle section (03-050-10-01) is more about configuration like length and mechanical setup. The last code R200602-400808 is mainly factory tracking or revision info. In practice, most engineers just treat the whole string as one ordering code and don’t overthink the breakdown.
