Description
The Bently Nevada 3300/16 Dual Vibration XY/Gap Monitor is a rack-mounted module engineered to provide simultaneous measurement of radial shaft vibration and probe gap voltage. Designed for the 3300 monitoring system, this module continuously evaluates input signals against defined alarm setpoints to ensure the integrity of critical rotating machinery, such as turbines and compressors.
Features
- Dual-channel monitoring for integrated vibration and gap voltage analysis.
- Continuous signal processing with dedicated Alert and Danger alarm setpoints.
- Front-panel LED indicators for system status, including OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger conditions.
- Compatible with standard proximity probe systems and Proximitor sensors.
- Configurable output signals for integration with external control or data acquisition systems.
Applications
- Radial shaft vibration monitoring for large rotating equipment.
- Proximity probe gap voltage monitoring for machinery health diagnostics.
- Predictive maintenance and protection systems in power generation and petrochemical facilities.
