Description

The Bently Nevada 3300/15 Dual Vibration Monitor is a rack-mounted module within the 3300 Series system, specifically engineered to measure and protect rotating machinery by continuously monitoring shaft vibration. This module provides two independent vibration channels, delivering both dynamic and proportional outputs for critical alarm and trip functions. It is widely deployed in industrial environments such as turbines, compressors, and pumps where precise, real-time vibration detection is essential for operational reliability and safety.

Features

• Dual-channel vibration monitoring for independent signal processing.
• Dynamic and proportional outputs for comprehensive machinery analysis.
• Integrated relay outputs for Alert and Danger alarm setpoints.
• Designed for seamless integration into the 3300 Series rack architecture.
• Standard configuration for proximity probe transducer inputs.

Applications

• Steam and gas turbine vibration monitoring.
• Centrifugal and reciprocating compressor protection.
• Large pump and motor vibration analysis.
• Critical rotating equipment safety and trip systems.

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the 3300 Series rack is properly grounded before installing the module.
• Handle the module using standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection practices.
• Verify that the rack power is disconnected before inserting or removing the module to prevent electrical damage.
• Ensure all signal wiring is routed away from high-voltage or high-EMI sources to maintain signal integrity.
• Confirm that the transducer input configuration matches the installed proximity probes before system commissioning.
