Description
The Bently Nevada 3300/16 Dual Vibration Monitor is a rack-mounted module designed to measure radial shaft vibration in critical rotating machinery, such as turbines and compressors. The 15 suffix option specifies a dual-channel XY vibration configuration, enabling simultaneous monitoring of two orthogonal vibration signals. This monitor continuously compares vibration parameters against user-defined alarm setpoints, providing early warning of mechanical issues and supporting predictive maintenance strategies.
Features
- Dual-channel XY vibration monitoring for comprehensive shaft analysis.
- Continuous signal conditioning and comparison against Alert and Danger setpoints.
- Integrated LED status indicators for OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger conditions.
- Standard relay outputs for alarm annunciation.
- Compatible with standard Bently Nevada proximity probe and Proximitor sensor systems.
Applications
This module is primarily used in industrial protection systems for monitoring radial vibration on rotating shafts in power generation, oil and gas, and petrochemical facilities. It is designed for integration into the Bently Nevada 3300 Monitoring System rack.

Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the 3300 rack is powered down before inserting or removing the monitor module to prevent electrical damage.
- Verify that the module is fully seated in the rack slot and that the front panel screws are tightened to ensure proper grounding and mechanical stability.
- Use shielded cabling for all transducer inputs to minimize EMI/RFI interference.
- Ensure proper ventilation within the cabinet to maintain the operating temperature between 0 and 60 degC.
- Handle with ESD-safe precautions to protect sensitive internal electronic components.
FAQ
What does the 15 suffix represent in this model code?
The 15 suffix indicates the measurement configuration is set for XY dual vibration, allowing the monitor to process two orthogonal vibration signals simultaneously.
Is this module compatible with standard proximity probes?
Yes, this model is configured for use with standard Bently Nevada proximity probes and their associated Proximitor sensors.
