The Bently Nevada 3300/16-13-01-00-00-00-00 is a dedicated dual-channel monitor engineered for the 3300 rack-based monitoring system. This module provides critical protection for rotating machinery by simultaneously tracking radial shaft vibration and probe gap voltage. By processing signals from proximity probes, the unit ensures continuous oversight of displacement parameters, facilitating early detection of mechanical anomalies and supporting effective predictive maintenance strategies.
Features
Dual-channel measurement capability for simultaneous vibration and gap monitoring.
Integrated alarm logic with dedicated Alert and Danger setpoints.
Front-panel status monitoring via LED indicators (OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger).
Compatible with standard Bently Nevada proximity probe and Proximitor sensor configurations.
Rack-mounted design for seamless integration into existing 3300 series monitoring infrastructure.
Applications
This monitor is widely utilized in heavy industrial environments to safeguard critical assets including steam turbines, gas compressors, centrifugal pumps, and large industrial motors. It is essential for operations requiring real-time displacement data to prevent catastrophic equipment failure.

Installation Guidelines
Ensure the 3300 rack is powered down before inserting or removing the monitor module to prevent electrical damage.
Verify that all proximity probe wiring is shielded and routed away from high-voltage AC lines to minimize electromagnetic interference.
Confirm proper grounding of the 3300 rack chassis to a clean earth point to maintain signal integrity.
Handle modules using standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) safety practices.
Ensure the module is fully seated in the rack slot and the front-panel locking mechanisms are secure before applying power.
FAQ
What does the 13 measurement option represent? The 13 code indicates the XY/Gap configuration, where one channel is dedicated to radial vibration monitoring while the second channel monitors the probe gap voltage.
Is this module compatible with other 3300 series components? Yes, this monitor is designed specifically for the Bently Nevada 3300 rack system and integrates with standard 3300 series power supplies and rack interface modules.
