Description
Description
The Bently Nevada 3300/16 Dual Vibration Monitor is a rack-mounted module engineered for the continuous monitoring of radial shaft vibration in critical rotating machinery, such as turbines, compressors, and pumps. This specific model, 3300/16-02-01-01-00-00-00, provides dual-channel vibration monitoring, allowing for the simultaneous tracking of two independent vibration signals. By continuously comparing input parameters against user-defined alarm setpoints, the monitor provides essential early warning of mechanical degradation, supporting effective predictive maintenance programs.
Features
- Dual-channel vibration monitoring for comprehensive machine protection.
- Compatible with standard proximity probe and Proximitor sensor inputs.
- Integrated Alert and Danger alarm setpoints with relay output actuation.
- Front-panel LED indicators for quick status verification of OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger conditions.
- Standardized 3300 series rack-mount form factor for seamless integration into existing monitoring systems.
Applications
- Steam and gas turbine vibration monitoring.
- Centrifugal and axial compressor protection.
- Large motor and generator bearing vibration analysis.
- General-purpose rotating equipment requiring radial vibration monitoring.

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 backplane to ensure reliable connection of power and signal buses.
- Use shielded cabling for all transducer inputs to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal noise.
- Maintain proper ventilation in the equipment cabinet to ensure the module operates within the 0 to 60 degC temperature range.
- Handle with standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions to protect sensitive internal components.
FAQ
What does the 02 measurement option signify?
The 02 option indicates that the module is configured for dual-channel vibration monitoring, allowing it to process two independent input signals simultaneously.
Is this module compatible with existing 3300 racks?
Yes, the 3300/16 is designed to be fully compatible with the standard Bently Nevada 3300 series rack architecture.
What is the primary function of the relay outputs?
The relay outputs are used to trigger external alarms or trip logic systems when the monitored vibration levels exceed the pre-configured Alert or Danger setpoints.
