The Bently Nevada 3300/16 Dual Vibration Monitor is a rack-mounted module engineered for continuous radial shaft vibration measurement in critical rotating machinery, including turbines, compressors, and pumps. This dual-channel monitor provides essential protection by comparing real-time vibration data against pre-configured Alert and Danger setpoints, facilitating both equipment safety and predictive maintenance.
Features
Dual-channel radial vibration monitoring for comprehensive shaft analysis.
Configured for proximity probe inputs via Proximitor sensors.
Integrated alarm logic with relay actuation for Alert and Danger conditions.
Front-panel LED indicators for system status: OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger.
Standardized 3300 rack system compatibility.
Applications
This module is designed for use in industrial environments where monitoring shaft displacement is critical to prevent mechanical failure. Common applications include large steam and gas turbines, centrifugal compressors, and high-speed pumps where vibration trends are key indicators of machine health.
