2300/25_KIT-005-00 | Bently Nevada 2300/25 Condition Monitoring Kit

Introduction to the 2300/25_KIT-005-00

When unplanned downtime threatens your production line, the 2300/25_KIT-005-00 from Bently Nevada provides the condition monitoring you need to stay ahead of failures. This complete kit includes a 2300/25 monitor, a Velomitor sensor, and a shielded Ethernet cable, all packaged for rapid deployment.

Designed for rotating machinery, the kit supports accelerometers, velocity sensors, and proximity probes, making it a versatile choice for pumps, motors, and turbines.

Key Features and Technical Specifications

• Power input: 18–36 Vdc, max 7.5 W
• Configurable bandpass filter: 0.2 Hz to 20 kHz
• Scale factor range: 5 to 1000 mV/g (accelerometers)
• Full scale range: 2 to 80 g peak (accelerometers)
• Independent 24-bit ADCs on input channels
• Accuracy: ±1% of full scale range
• Ethernet: 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, conforms to IEEE802.3
• Operating temperature: -30°C to +65°C

One standout feature is the independent 24-bit ADCs, which ensure high-resolution data capture on every channel. This translates to more accurate vibration analysis and earlier detection of bearing wear or imbalance.

Applications and Use Cases

In manufacturing plants, the 2300/25_KIT-005-00 excels at monitoring critical rotating assets. For example, a food processing facility can use it to track motor vibration and avoid costly line stoppages. Similarly, in power generation, the kit helps monitor turbine speed and vibration, ensuring safe operation.

Because the kit supports both hazardous and non-hazardous housing options, it adapts to various environments, from clean rooms to explosive atmospheres.

Installation and Setup

Mounting the monitor is straightforward with panel mount or DIN rail options (adapter included). The kit includes a 6 ft. (1.8 m) shielded Ethernet cable for quick connection to your network. For the sensor, a 17 ft. (5.2 m) cable is provided, giving you flexibility in placement.

Before installation, verify that your power supply provides 18–36 Vdc and that the ambient temperature stays within the -30°C to +65°C operating range. Follow the manufacturer's manual for proper wiring and configuration.

Maintenance and Reliability

Regular inspection of the monitor and sensor connections helps maintain accurate readings. Check the Ethernet cable for damage and ensure the housing remains sealed against moisture. The real-time clock battery lasts 38 years when powered and 12 years unpowered, so you can rely on accurate time-stamped data for years.

With a vibration limit of 3 g, the monitor is built to withstand typical industrial vibrations, reducing the risk of internal component failure.

Compatibility and Integration

The 2300/25_KIT-005-00 integrates seamlessly with Bently Nevada's System 1 software, allowing you to view machine speed, vibration values, and setpoints on the built-in LCD display. The Ethernet interface supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, and the cable length can extend up to 100 meters (328 ft.), making it easy to connect to your plant network.

In the event of a network disruption, the monitor can store up to at least 5 alarm data captures, ensuring no critical data is lost (requires System 1 Evolution 21.1 or newer and Firmware release 3.2 or newer).

Troubleshooting and Common Issues

If the monitor fails to communicate over Ethernet, check the cable connection and verify that the network switch supports 10/100 Mbps. If the LCD shows a protection fault, inspect the hardware for damage and consult the manual.

For sensor issues, confirm that the scale factor matches your transducer's sensitivity. The monitor supports scale factors from 5 to 1000 mV/g, so a mismatch can cause inaccurate readings.
