Installation Guidelines

Mount the 2300/20_KIT-006-00 monitor on a DIN rail or panel. Use the included adapter for DIN rail mounting. Connect the 24 Vdc power supply (not included) to the DC input. Install the two Velomitor sensors at the measurement points. Connect each sensor using the 12 ft (3.6 m) 9571 cables. Attach the shielded Ethernet cable to your network switch. Configure the monitor using the LCD display or remote software. Set the proper scale factors for your application. Test all relays and 4-20mA outputs before commissioning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does the 2300/20_KIT-006-00 include a power supply?
No. The kit excludes the 24 Vdc power supply. You must purchase an 18-36 Vdc supply separately. The monitor draws a maximum of 7.5 Watts.

2. What is the maximum RPM this system can measure?
The 2300/20 supports up to 120,000 RPM for Keyphasor inputs. The magnetic pickup input supports 200 to 120,000 RPM.

3. Can I use this kit with non-Bently sensors?
Yes. The 2300/20 supports 2-wire or 3-wire custom transducers for accelerometers, velomitors, and proximitors. Configure the scale factor range to match your sensor.

4. What is the purpose of the 4-20mA outputs?
The two 4-20mA outputs send proportional vibration data to a PLC or DCS. Each output maps to a measurement variable. The 2300/20 provides internal loop power, so do not use external power.

5. Is this monitor suitable for hazardous area installation?
The relay circuit has hazardous area specifications (max 6A @ 24Vac). However, the 2300/20 monitor itself must be installed in a non-hazardous area unless placed in an approved enclosure. Check your local electrical code.
