Bently Nevada 2300/25_KIT-003-00 Condition Monitoring System Kit

The Bently Nevada 2300/25_KIT-003-00 is a complete dual-channel condition monitoring system kit. Manufactured in the U.S.A., this kit includes a 2300/25 monitor and two accelerometer sensors. For configuration 003, the kit is designed around a two-sensor configuration for dual-point monitoring. Consequently, this all-in-one solution enables comprehensive machinery protection at two separate measurement locations.

Kit Components

Monitor and Basic Components

Turning first to the core components, the Bently Nevada 2300/25_KIT-003-00 includes one 2300/25 monitor. A 6 ft. (1.8 m) shielded Ethernet cable is provided for network connectivity. Please note that Keyphasor sensor and 24 Vdc power supply are not included and must be ordered separately.

Sensors and Cables

For dual-channel sensing, the kit includes two accelerometer sensors (model 200350). Two 12 ft. (3.6 m) cables (9571) connect these sensors to the monitor. Therefore, this configuration supports simultaneous vibration monitoring at two separate machine locations.

Technical Specifications of the 2300/25 Monitor

Power Input and General Specifications

Regarding power requirements, the 2300/25 monitor within the Bently Nevada 2300/25_KIT-003-00 accepts DC input from 18 to 36 Vdc. Maximum power consumption reaches only 7.5 Watts, making it energy-efficient for continuous operation. Independent 24-bit ADCs are provided on each input channel, ensuring high-resolution measurement accuracy. Across all channels, accuracy remains within ±1% of the full scale range.

Channel Types and Configurable Inputs

Several configurable channel types are supported by the 2300/25 monitor. For ICP accelerometers, the bandpass filter spans 0.2 Hz to 20 kHz. Scale factor adjusts from 5 to 1000 mV/g, while full scale reaches 2 to 80 g peak. In the case of velocity transducers (Velomitor), the bandpass filter similarly covers 0.2 Hz to 20 kHz. Scale factor ranges from 5 to 1000 mV/in/s, with full scale up to 50 in/s peak. When using radial vibration (proximity probes), scale factor spans 5 to 1000 mV/mil with full scale up to 160 mil peak-peak. A thrust channel is also available, offering scale factor from 5 to 1000 mV/mil.

Proximity Transducer Interface

For proximity probe applications, the monitor delivers a supply voltage of -22.8 to -25.2 Vdc. Maximum rated current is 15 mA, while short circuit current ranges from 15.1 to 23.6 mA. Input impedance operates at 10 kΩ for 3-wire voltage mode. RPM range for this interface spans from 1 to 120,000 revolutions per minute.

Speed and Keyphasor Input

Multiple events per revolution and event ratios are supported by the speed/Keyphasor input. Speed inputs are accepted up to 20 kHz. Threshold voltage resolution reaches 0.1 Vdc. For magnetic pickup inputs, the RPM range extends from 200 to 120,000. For proximity switch interface, supply voltage ranges from -10 to -24 Vdc with a lower not-OK limit of -2.75 ±0.05 V. In this configuration, the RPM range reaches 60,000.

Contact Inputs

Three contact capabilities are provided through dedicated input terminals. These support configuration lock function for enhanced security. Latched alarm reset and relay reset functions are also available. Furthermore, monitor bypass can be activated with 0 to 10 kΩ and de-activated with 150 kΩ to infinite resistance.

Button Inputs and User Interface

An external button is provided to reset latched alarms and relays. One buried button offers three distinct functions: displaying monitor information, adjusting LCD contrast, and resetting settings to factory defaults. Displayable information includes user account name, IP address, and firmware/hardware version details.

SPA Output (2300/25)

For signal conditioning, the 2300/25 monitor includes SPA output capabilities. Input signal ranges include High AC at 8 Vpp and Low AC at 1.6 Vpp. DC GAP ranges from 0 to -20 Vdc (maximum measurable AC signal is 1 Vpp). Accuracy for High/Low AC is ±1% of Full-Scale at 100 Hz. DC GAP accuracy is ±0.5 V (measurable AC accuracy: ±20 mV). Frequency response spans 10 Hz to 3000 Hz at ±5%.

Buffered Outputs

Three buffered outputs are available through BNC connectors on the monitor. These include two vibration outputs and one speed output. Consequently, these buffered signals allow parallel connection to portable analyzers or other monitoring systems.

Relay Outputs

Two dry-contact relay outputs are provided on the monitor. These may be configured as normally energized or normally de-energized. No output feedback determination is provided, so external monitoring is required. In non-hazardous areas, the relays are single pole, double throw type with epoxy sealing. Contact life reaches 100,000 cycles at 5 A, 250 Vac or 200,000 cycles at 1 A, 24 Vdc. Insulation resistance is 1000 MΩ minimum at 500 Vdc. Relay closed contact resistance is 1 Ω maximum, while open contact resistance is 1 MΩ minimum. Maximum switched contact voltage is 250 Vac or 250 Vdc. Maximum breaking contact current is 6 A at 250 Vac or 6 A at 24 Vdc. As a result, maximum switched power reaches 1500 VA AC or 150 Watts DC.

Relay Circuit in Hazardous Areas

For hazardous area installations, the relay specifications differ significantly. Maximum switched contact voltage and current are 6 A at 24 Vac, 5 A at 30 Vac, 5.8 A at 24 Vdc, or 4 A at 30 Vdc.

LED Indicators

Comprehensive LED indicators provide clear operational status at a glance. An OK LED illuminates when the monitor is operating properly. A protection fault LED indicates hardware faults that are impacting alarm determination. A user inhibit LED shows that alarms and relays have been intentionally inhibited from operation. A bypass LED indicates user-initiated bypass action. Relay status LEDs show whether relays have been activated. TX/RX LEDs display Ethernet status and communication activity with remote software. SPEED/AUX channel status LEDs indicate either valid speed signal input or proper operation when configured as AUX.

Channel Alarm Status LEDs

For alarm conditions, two key LEDs are provided. The Alert LED engages if any channel is in an alert state. The Danger LED engages if any channel is in a danger state.

LCD Display

An LCD display allows viewing of machine speed, vibration measurement values, setpoints, and configuration information. Therefore, this local interface significantly simplifies commissioning and troubleshooting tasks.

Communications

For network connectivity, the monitor includes Ethernet compliant with 10Base-T and 100Base-TX (IEEE802.3). An RJ-45 connector is provided for standard cabling. Maximum cable length reaches 100 meters (328 feet).

Environmental Limits

Regarding environmental operation, the monitor functions reliably from -30°C to +65°C (-22°F to +149°F). For storage, the temperature range extends from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F). Humidity tolerance reaches up to 95%, non-condensing. Vibration limitation is 3 g, ensuring reliable operation in industrial settings.

Real-Time Clock Battery Life

The internal real-time clock battery provides exceptionally long service life. When powered, battery life reaches 38 years at 50°C (122°F). When un-powered, battery life extends to 12 years at the same temperature.

Data Storage and Trend Measurements

In the event of network disruption between the 2300 and System 1, the monitor stores at least 5 alarm data captures. This feature requires System 1 Evolution 21.1 or newer and firmware release 3.2 or newer. For trend measurements, pre-event data capture intervals include 10 minutes at 1-second intervals or 20 seconds at 100-millisecond intervals. Post-event data capture includes 10 seconds at 100-millisecond intervals or 1 minute at 1-second intervals.

Spectrum and Waveform Storage

For spectrum and waveform data, the monitor provides pre-event capture of 2.5 minutes at 10-second intervals. Post-event data capture is configured as 1 minute at 10-second intervals.
