• Disconnect interface connector: -54°C to +427°C.
• Softline limit: Only +204°C cable, +93°C interface connector.
• Application: Gas turbines, furnaces, kilns, exhaust monitoring.

Connector Configuration

• Accelerometer end: Mates to MS 3100R-10SL-4P receptacle with Viton insert.
• Interface end: Mates to MS 3106-10SL-4S disconnect connector.
• Connector material: High temperature alloy.
• Note: Different from Softline (MS 3112-8-3P). Verify module compatibility.

96 Inch Length Applications

• Large gas turbines: Long reach from sensor to junction box.
• Remote mounting: Interface module located away from heat.
• Retrofit projects: Direct replacement for existing 96in cables.
• Test stands: Flexible positioning of data acquisition.

Critical Moisture Warning

• Problem: Mineral insulation absorbs atmospheric moisture.
• Effect: Reduced insulation resistance, signal noise.
• Storage: Keep in sealed bag with desiccant until installation.
• If wet: Bake at 150°C for 24 hours with ends open.

Installation Guidelines

• Minimum bend radius: 190mm (7.5 inches).
• Support every 12 inches: Use stainless steel cable ties.
• Pre-form bends: No sharp bends - plan route carefully.
• Connector torque: Hand-tighten plus 1/8 turn.
• Avoid tension: Leave service loop at each end.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is the exact length of 83387-096?
  A: 96 inches equals 8.0 feet (2.44 meters). Bently specifies Hardline in inches, matching legacy installation drawings.
• Q: Can I use this with a Softline interface module?
  A: No. Hardline uses MS 3106-10SL-4S. Softline modules use MS 3112-8-3P. Different connectors are not compatible without an adapter.
• Q: Why choose 96 inches over shorter lengths?
  A: Use 96 inches when distance exceeds 65 inches. Longer cables have higher attenuation and cost. Always use the shortest length that reaches.
• Q: How do I store spare cables?
  A: Keep in original sealed bag with desiccant. Mineral insulation absorbs humidity. Opened cables must be resealed or stored in dry nitrogen.
• Q: What is the maximum connector temperature?
  A: Both connectors are rated to +427°C (+800°F). The cable handles +649°C, but connectors are the system limit. Relocate connections if exceeding +427°C.
