Description
Description
The Bently Nevada 3300/16-12-01-00-00 is a dual-channel vibration monitoring module designed for the 3300 Series machinery protection system. This unit provides continuous, reliable monitoring of radial shaft vibration, specifically configured for XY channel applications. It is engineered to protect critical rotating assets such as industrial turbines, large compressors, and centrifugal pumps by detecting vibration anomalies and triggering protective responses.
Features
- Dual-channel input architecture optimized for proximity probe (Proximitor) sensor arrays.
- Integrated signal processing for real-time radial shaft vibration measurement.
- Dedicated alarm logic with Alert and Danger setpoint comparison.
- Front-panel LED status indicators for rapid diagnostics (OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger).
- Proportional 4-20 mA outputs for integration with external control systems or data acquisition platforms.
- Standard relay outputs for machine trip and alarm signaling.
