Description
Description
The Bently Nevada 3300/16 Dual Vibration Monitor is a rack-mounted module within the 3300 Series system, engineered to provide continuous monitoring of radial shaft vibration across two independent channels. This specific configuration, 3300/16-03-01-01-00-00-00, is designed for critical machinery protection in industrial environments such as turbines, compressors, and pumps. It continuously processes vibration signals from proximity probes, comparing them against user-defined alarm setpoints to detect mechanical faults like imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear.
Features
- Dual-channel monitoring for radial shaft vibration.
- Compatible with standard Proximitor sensors.
- Provides proportional 4-20 mA outputs for integration with external control systems.
- Integrated relay outputs for Alert and Danger alarm conditions.
- Front-panel LED indicators for status monitoring (OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger).
- Continuous signal processing for real-time machinery protection.
Applications
This monitor is primarily utilized in the protection of rotating machinery, including:
- Steam and gas turbines
- Centrifugal compressors
- Large industrial pumps
- Motors and gearboxes
