Description

The Bently Nevada 3300/16 Dual Vibration Monitor is a rack-mounted module within the 3300 Series system, engineered to provide continuous monitoring of radial shaft vibration across two independent channels. This specific configuration, 3300/16-03-01-01-00-00-00, is designed for critical machinery protection in industrial environments such as turbines, compressors, and pumps. It continuously processes vibration signals from proximity probes, comparing them against user-defined alarm setpoints to detect mechanical faults like imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear.

Features

• Dual-channel monitoring for radial shaft vibration.
• Compatible with standard Proximitor sensors.
• Provides proportional 4-20 mA outputs for integration with external control systems.
• Integrated relay outputs for Alert and Danger alarm conditions.
• Front-panel LED indicators for status monitoring (OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger).
• Continuous signal processing for real-time machinery protection.

Applications

This monitor is primarily utilized in the protection of rotating machinery, including:

• Steam and gas turbines
• Centrifugal compressors
• Large industrial pumps
• Motors and gearboxes

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the 3300 rack is properly grounded according to site electrical standards.
• Handle with care to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to internal circuitry.
• Verify that the module is fully seated in the rack slot before applying power.
• Use shielded cabling for transducer inputs to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Maintain adequate ventilation around the rack to ensure operating temperatures remain within the specified -30 degC to +65 degC range.
• Always power down the rack before inserting or removing the monitor module.

FAQ

What does the 3300/16-03-01-01-00-00-00 model code indicate?

The code specifies a dual vibration monitor with standard industrial approvals, configured for proximity probe inputs, standard relay outputs, and a standard measurement range with no custom modifications.

Can this module be used for XY vibration monitoring?

Yes, the 3300/16 is designed to monitor two independent channels, making it suitable for XY vibration measurement configurations on rotating shafts.
