Introduction to the 2300/25_KIT-004-00

When machine health is critical, the 2300/25_KIT-004-00 from Bently Nevada provides a comprehensive condition monitoring solution. This kit includes a 2300/25 monitor, two Velomitor sensors, and a housing kit, making it ready for installation in non-hazardous or hazardous areas. With its compact design and robust feature set, it helps you detect vibration issues early and avoid unplanned downtime.

Key Features and Technical Specifications

The 2300/25_KIT-004-00 offers a wide range of input channels and configurable options to suit various monitoring needs. Here are the core specifications:

• Power input: 18–36 Vdc, max 7.5 W
• Channel types: ICP accelerometers, velocity, radial vibration, thrust, process variable, speed/keyphasor
• Configurable bandpass filter: 0.2 Hz to 20 kHz
• Scale factor range: 5 to 1000 mV/g (accelerometers), 5 to 1000 mV/in/s (velocity), 5 to 1000 mV/mil (radial vibration)
• Full scale ranges: 2 to 80 g peak (accelerometers), 0 to 50 in/s peak (velocity), 0 to 160 mil peak-peak (radial vibration)
• Accuracy: ±1% of full scale range
• Independent 24-bit ADCs on input channels
• Ethernet: 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, conforms to IEEE802.3
• Operating temperature: -30°C to +65°C
• Dimensions: 127 mm x 127 mm x 76.2 mm (5 in. x 5 in. x 3 in.)
• Weight: 1.03 kg (2.26 lbs)

One distinctive feature is the independent 24-bit ADCs on each input channel, which ensures high-resolution measurement and accurate data capture even in noisy environments. This is particularly valuable for early fault detection.

Applications and Use Cases

The 2300/25_KIT-004-00 is ideal for rotating machinery monitoring in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing. It supports accelerometers, velocity sensors, and proximity transducers, making it versatile for different machine types. For example, it can monitor radial vibration on pumps and thrust position on compressors, helping maintenance teams identify issues before they escalate.

Installation and Setup

Mounting the 2300/25_KIT-004-00 is straightforward with panel mount or DIN rail options (adapter included). The kit includes a 6 ft. (1.8 m) shielded Ethernet cable and two 17 ft. (5.2 m) sensor cables, so you have the necessary cabling for initial setup. Ensure the power supply provides 18–36 Vdc and that the housing kit is selected based on your area classification.

Maintenance and Reliability

Regular inspection of the monitor and sensors helps maintain reliable operation. The housing kit protects the electronics from environmental factors, and the real-time clock battery is rated for 38 years when powered, reducing maintenance frequency. For hazardous area installations, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for periodic checks.

Compatibility and Integration

The 2300/25_KIT-004-00 communicates via Ethernet (10Base-T/100Base-TX) and is compatible with Bently Nevada System 1 software. It can store up to at least 5 alarm data captures during network disruptions, ensuring data integrity. The monitor supports Bently transducers and 2/3-wire custom transducers for accelerometers, velomitors, and proximitors.

Comparison with Similar Kits

Compared to other condition monitoring kits, the 2300/25_KIT-004-00 stands out with its dual Velomitor sensors and housing options for hazardous areas. While some kits offer only basic vibration monitoring, this kit provides configurable bandpass filters, multiple channel types, and high accuracy (±1% of full scale). Its Ethernet connectivity enables seamless integration with plant networks.
