Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 2300/20_KIT-002-00 are listed below for quick reference:

Real-World Applications and Cost Savings

Pump and Compressor Protection

In petrochemical plants, unplanned pump failures can exceed $50,000 per event. The 2300/20_KIT-002-00 monitors vibration and speed via configurable bandpass filters (0.2 Hz to 20 kHz), enabling early detection of bearing wear or imbalance. The kit's 4-20 mA outputs (two channels) integrate directly with existing DCS or PLC systems, avoiding expensive retrofits.

Fan and Blower Monitoring

For HVAC or mining ventilation fans, the accelerometer sensor (AM3100T2-Z2) with scale factor range of 5 to 1000 mV/g provides precise vibration data. The system's 24-bit ADCs on input channels ensure high accuracy (±1% of full scale), reducing false alarms and unnecessary maintenance dispatches.

Installation and Setup Guidance

Mount the 2300/20_KIT-002-00 using the included DIN rail adapter or panel mount. Connect the 17 ft (5.2 m) cable (9571) from the accelerometer to the monitor. Use the shielded Ethernet cable (6 ft / 1.8 m) to link the monitor to your network. Power the unit with a 24 Vdc supply (not included) within the 18~36 Vdc range. Configure channel types and bandpass filters via the LCD display or remote software. For hazardous areas, use the stainless steel housing (105M6193-03); for nonhazardous, the fiberglass housing (105M6193-01).

Maintenance and Reliability

The 2300/20_KIT-002-00 is designed for continuous operation in harsh environments. The real-time clock battery lasts 38 years powered at 50°C, minimizing replacement intervals. Inspect the housing seals and Ethernet cable connections periodically. The unit's 3 g vibration limitation ensures robust performance in typical industrial settings. With no output feedback determination, the system simplifies troubleshooting.

Cost-Efficient Condition Monitoring with Bently Nevada 2300/20_KIT-002-00

Industrial rotating machinery downtime can cost thousands per minute. The Bently Nevada 2300/20_KIT-002-00 Condition Monitoring System Kit delivers a complete, ready-to-deploy solution for vibration and speed monitoring, helping you prevent catastrophic failures and reduce maintenance expenses. This kit integrates an accelerometer sensor (AM3100T2-Z2), a shielded Ethernet cable, and a rugged housing into a single package, simplifying procurement and installation.

Compatibility and Integration

The monitor communicates via Ethernet (10Base-T/100Base-TX) and integrates with System 1 software for data capture and analysis. It supports Bently transducers and custom 2/3 wire transducers for accelerometers, Velomitors, and Proximitors. The 4-20 mA outputs (0 to 600 Ω load) provide analog signals for legacy systems, while the three buffered outputs (BNC connectors) deliver raw vibration and speed signals for portable analyzers.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice

When selecting the 2300/20_KIT-002-00, verify your sensor type and housing requirements. The kit includes one accelerometer sensor (AM3100T2-Z2) and one housing; additional sensors can be ordered separately. AutoDCSTech offers this kit with fast shipping and expert support.
