Additionally, the configurable bandpass filter allows you to tailor the monitoring to specific machinery frequencies.

Applications and Use Cases

The 2300/20_KIT-001-00 is ideal for monitoring rotating machinery such as pumps, motors, fans, and compressors. Its ability to handle accelerometers, velocity sensors, and proximity transducers makes it versatile for various industrial settings.

For example, in a manufacturing plant, you can use this kit to monitor motor vibration and detect early signs of bearing wear. The configurable scale factor range lets you match the sensor sensitivity to your specific machinery. Furthermore, the 4-20 mA outputs allow integration with PLCs or SCADA systems for continuous monitoring.

Installation and Setup

Installing the 2300/20_KIT-001-00 is straightforward. The kit includes a housing kit, which can be either fiberglass (for nonhazardous areas) or stainless steel (for hazardous areas). The monitor supports panel mount or DIN rail mounting, with an adapter included.

Connect the accelerometer sensors to the monitor using the provided 17 ft. cables. Then, connect the Ethernet cable to your network for communication with System 1 software. Ensure the power supply provides 18~36 Vdc, as specified. The monitor's LCD display allows you to view machine speed, vibration values, setpoints, and configuration information, simplifying setup.

Maintenance and Reliability

Regular inspection is key to maintaining reliable operation. Check the sensors and cables periodically for damage or wear. The monitor's LEDs provide status indications, including OK, protection fault, user inhibit, bypass, relay status, and TX/RX Ethernet status. These indicators help you quickly identify any issues.

The real-time clock battery has a powered life of 38 years at 50°C, ensuring long-term reliability. For un-powered storage, the battery lasts 12 years at 50°C. This long battery life reduces maintenance frequency and total cost of ownership.

Integration with System 1

The 2300/20_KIT-001-00 communicates with Bently Nevada's System 1 software via Ethernet. It supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, with a maximum cable length of 100 meters. In the event of a network disruption, the 2300 can store up to at least 5 alarm data captures, ensuring no critical data is lost.

This integration capability allows you to monitor multiple machines from a central location, analyze trends, and receive alerts. The monitor supports speed inputs up to 20 kHz, making it suitable for high-speed machinery.
