The Bently Nevada 3300/16-02-01-02-01-00-00 is a specialized dual-channel vibration monitor designed for the 3300 series rack-based monitoring system. This module provides essential machinery protection by simultaneously tracking radial shaft vibration (XY) and probe gap voltage. It is engineered to detect critical mechanical faults in industrial rotating equipment, such as centrifugal compressors, gas turbines, and large pumps, by monitoring for signs of bearing degradation, misalignment, and rubbing.
Features
Dual-channel input architecture optimized for proximity probe (Proximitor) integration.
Real-time monitoring of both vibration amplitude and DC gap voltage.
Integrated alarm logic with dedicated Alert and Danger relay outputs for automated machinery shutdown or operator notification.
Front-panel LED status indicators for visual confirmation of OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger states.
Standard proportional 4-20 mA output signals for integration with external PLC or DCS systems.

Installation Guidelines
Ensure the 3300 series rack is powered down before inserting or removing the module to prevent electrical damage.
Verify that the module is fully seated in the rack slot and the front-panel captive screws are tightened to ensure proper grounding.
Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for transducer inputs to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-noise industrial environments.
Maintain proper ventilation around the rack assembly to ensure operating temperatures remain within the specified -30 degC to +65 degC range.
Confirm that all wiring connections to the rear terminal block are secure and follow site-specific loop diagrams for probe signal routing.
FAQ
What is the primary function of the 3300/16 monitor?
This module is designed to monitor radial shaft vibration and probe gap voltage. By tracking these parameters, it provides early warning and protection against mechanical failures in rotating machinery.
Does this module require external barriers?
The specific model 3300/16-02-01-02-01-00-00 is configured with standard input barriers and does not include additional intrinsic safety barriers. Please verify your system's hazardous area requirements before installation.
How are the alarm setpoints configured?
The module provides relay actuation based on user-defined Alert and Danger setpoints, allowing for integration with existing shutdown logic in your plant control system.
