Bently Nevada 2300/20_KIT-004-00 Condition Monitoring System Kit Overview

Are unplanned machine failures draining your operational budget? The Bently Nevada 2300/20_KIT-004-00 Condition Monitoring System Kit offers a robust solution for continuous vibration monitoring, helping you detect faults early and optimize maintenance schedules. This kit integrates essential components for seamless deployment in both non-hazardous and hazardous areas.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 2300/20_KIT-004-00 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications: Protecting Critical Rotating Machinery

The 2300/20 monitor supports accelerometers, velocimeters, and proximity probes, making it versatile for various machine types. With configurable bandpass filters from 0.2 Hz to 20 kHz, it captures both low-speed and high-frequency vibrations. For hazardous areas, the stainless steel housing (105M6193-03) ensures safe operation.

Installation and Setup Guidance

Mount the 2300/20 monitor via panel mount or DIN rail using the included adapter. Connect the 6 ft. shielded Ethernet cable to your network for communication with System 1 software. Wire power input between 18~36 Vdc, ensuring the supply can handle 7.5 W maximum. For hazardous area installations, use the stainless steel housing and follow local safety codes. The monitor provides three buffered outputs (two vibration, one speed) via BNC connectors for external analysis.

Maintenance and Reliability

Periodically inspect the Ethernet cable and sensor connections for wear or damage. Verify the monitor's OK LED indicates proper operation. The real-time clock battery lasts 38 years powered at 50°C, reducing maintenance intervals. Store the unit within -40°C to +85°C when not in use. The 2300/20 can store at least five alarm data captures during network disruptions (requires System 1 Evolution 21.1+ and firmware 3.2+).

Compatibility and Integration

The 2300/20 communicates via Ethernet (10Base-T/100Base-TX, IEEE 802.3) and integrates with Bently Nevada System 1 software for advanced diagnostics. It supports Bently transducers and custom 2/3 wire sensors for accelerometers, Velomitors, and Proximitors. The monitor includes two 4-20 mA outputs proportional to full-scale measurements, configurable via software. Relay outputs provide dry contacts for alarm annunciation.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice

When selecting a condition monitoring system, consider your area classification and sensor requirements. The 2300/20_KIT-004-00 includes two Velomitors and a housing, but excludes the Keyphasor sensor and 24 Vdc power supply. Verify your application needs before ordering.
