Description

Bently Nevada 2300/20-00 is a continuous vibration monitoring and protection device designed for essential medium to low criticality machinery. The device provides vibration monitoring, high vibration level alarming, two channels of seismic or proximity measurement inputs (accelerometers, Velomitor, and Proximitor types), a dedicated speed input channel for time-synchronous measurements, relay contact outputs, and configurable 4-20 mA outputs interfacing with a DCS. Operating on DC power input, the module offers local LCD and LED real-time displays, Ethernet communication, Modbus over Ethernet, and alarm data capture for integration with System 1 software.

Features

  • Two acceleration/velocity/proximity input channels with synchronized sampling
  • One dedicated speed input channel supporting proximity probes, magnetic pickup, and proximity switch sensors
  • Two 4-20 mA outputs with internal current loop power supply
  • Two relay outputs with programmable setpoints
  • Three buffered transducer outputs (including Keyphasor signal) via BNC connectors
  • Ethernet 10/100 Base-T communication for configuration using Bently Nevada Monitor Configuration software with RSA encryption
  • Modbus over Ethernet protocol support
  • Local contacts for monitor bypass, configuration lockout, and latched alarm/relay reset
  • Integrated LCD display and diagnostic LEDs for status display

Applications

  • Oil & gas machinery monitoring
  • Power generation equipment protection
  • Water treatment plant assets
  • Pulp and paper machinery
  • Manufacturing and mining equipment
  • Cement plant rotating machinery

Installation Guidelines

  • Ensure proper chassis grounding using the provided jumpers or by connecting COM directly to earth ground through a terminal.
  • Mount the device using either the included DIN rail adapter or standard panel mounting setups.
  • Do not connect external power to the 4-20 mA current loops, as the monitor incorporates an internal loop power supply.
  • Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for transducer inputs and Ethernet communication to mitigate EMI/RFI interference.
  • Maintain recommended physical clearances around the monitor unit for proper heat dissipation and cable routing.
