Keyphasor Signal Termination with the 128718-01
The 128718-01 terminates Keyphasor probe signals outside Bently Nevada machinery monitoring racks. This external block links once-per-turn reference probes to the monitor electronics. Reliability engineers therefore apply it where field wiring must stay separated from the rack interior. Its compact housing mounts onto cabinet panels without extra brackets.
Detailed Technical Parameters
Signal clarity defines the 128718-01, because the termination circuit matches the probe impedance and suppresses cable reflections. The block routes reference pulses between field wiring and the monitor cards. Meanwhile, labeled terminals simplify wire identification during installation. Review the essential specifications in the table below.

Integration into Monitoring Systems
The 128718-01 mounts onto a cabinet panel and connects through shielded cable entries. Commissioning engineers land probe wiring on the labeled screw terminals. Consequently, reference channels return to service quickly after block replacement. The termination keeps pulse edges sharp across long cable runs. Furthermore, the screw terminals maintain firm contact under vibration in turbine hall environments.
Why Plants Choose This Block
Many power stations still operate Bently Nevada systems for their proven machine protection. Hence, the 128718-01 serves as a dependable spare for keeping reference channels online. Its standardized housing format simplifies stock management across multiple sites. In addition, the external mounting keeps field wiring away from rack electronics. This block keeps Keyphasor signals clean and plant operations on schedule.
