Description
Description
The Bently Nevada 3300/16 XY/Gap Dual Vibration Monitor serves as a critical component within the 3300 Series monitoring architecture. This module is engineered to provide simultaneous monitoring of radial shaft vibration and probe gap voltage, offering essential protection for rotating machinery including compressors, turbines, and large industrial pumps. By tracking XY channel vibration and gap status, the unit facilitates the early identification of mechanical faults such as bearing degradation, shaft misalignment, or rotor rubs.
Features
- Dual-channel configuration optimized for simultaneous XY vibration and gap measurement.
- Integrated alarm logic providing Alert and Danger status outputs.
- Direct interface with Proximitor sensors for high-accuracy proximity sensing.
- Front-panel LED status indicators for monitoring OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger conditions.
- Proportional 4-20 mA outputs for integration with external DCS or PLC systems.
- Continuous signal processing for real-time machinery protection.
Applications
This monitor is widely utilized in industrial environments for the continuous protection of critical turbomachinery. It is specifically suited for applications requiring high-reliability monitoring of shaft dynamics and proximity probe health in power generation, petrochemical, and oil and gas facilities.

Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the rack is powered down before inserting or removing the module to prevent damage to the backplane connectors.
- Use shielded cabling for all transducer inputs to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-noise environments.
- Verify that the module is fully seated in the 3300 rack and that the front-panel locking mechanisms are engaged.
- Follow standard ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions during handling to protect internal circuitry.
- Ensure proper grounding of the 3300 rack system to maintain signal integrity and safety compliance.
FAQ
What is the primary function of the 3300/16 module?
The 3300/16 is designed to monitor radial shaft vibration (XY) and proximity probe gap voltage simultaneously to ensure the mechanical integrity of rotating machinery.
Can this module be used with any proximity probe?
This specific order code is configured for use with Bently Nevada Proximitor sensors. Please ensure your probe type matches the transducer input configuration specified in the model code.
Does this module include intrinsic safety barriers?
No, the 00 code in the barrier position indicates that this unit is configured for standard input without integrated intrinsic safety barriers.
