Description

The Bently Nevada 3300/16 XY/Gap Dual Vibration Monitor serves as a critical component within the 3300 Series monitoring system. This rack-mounted module is engineered to provide simultaneous monitoring of radial shaft vibration (XY) and probe gap voltage, offering essential protection for rotating machinery including compressors, pumps, and turbines. By continuously tracking these parameters, the monitor facilitates the early identification of mechanical degradation, such as bearing wear, rotor misalignment, or rubbing, allowing for proactive maintenance before catastrophic failure occurs.

Features

• Dual-channel configuration designed for simultaneous XY vibration and gap monitoring.
• Integrated relay outputs for Alert and Danger alarm states to trigger protective shutdowns or operator notifications.
• Proportional 4–20 mA output signals for integration with external control or data acquisition systems.
• Front-panel LED indicators providing real-time status updates for OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger conditions.
• Configured for use with standard proximity probe (Proximitor) sensor inputs.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the 3300 rack is powered down before inserting or removing the monitor module to prevent electrical damage.
• Verify that all field wiring is properly shielded and routed away from high-EMI sources such as variable frequency drives or high-voltage lines.
• Ensure proper grounding of the 3300 rack system per site safety standards to maintain signal integrity.
• Handle the module using standard ESD-safe practices to avoid damaging sensitive internal components.
• Confirm that the probe gap voltage is calibrated according to the transducer specifications during initial commissioning.
