The Bently Nevada 3300/16-15-01-01-00-00-00 is a specialized dual-channel vibration monitor designed for the 3300 series rack system. This module provides essential monitoring for radial shaft vibration, commonly used in critical rotating equipment such as large turbines, centrifugal compressors, and industrial pumps. The 15-suffix configuration enables dual-channel XY monitoring, allowing the system to track orthogonal vibration signals to detect complex shaft motion patterns.
Features
Dual-channel XY vibration monitoring capability.
Continuous signal processing with real-time comparison against configurable Alert and Danger setpoints.
Integrated LED status indicators for monitoring OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger states.
Standard relay outputs for automated alarm and shutdown logic.
Compatible with standard proximity probe transducer systems.
Applications
This monitor is engineered for machinery protection environments where high-accuracy vibration data is required for predictive maintenance. Typical applications include monitoring radial shaft displacement in high-speed rotating shafts and identifying mechanical instabilities before they lead to catastrophic failure.

Check that all alarm setpoints and scaling factors are configured correctly for the specific machine train prior to startup.
FAQ
What does the '15' configuration mean in this model code?
The '15' suffix designates an XY dual vibration configuration, which is specifically set up to process two orthogonal vibration signals from the same bearing or shaft location, allowing for comprehensive vibration analysis.
Is this module compatible with standard proximity probes?
Yes, this model is designed to interface with standard Bently Nevada proximity probe and Proximitor sensor systems.
