Bently Nevada 2300/20-00-00 Dual-Channel Vibration Monitor

Description Have you ever had a critical balance-of-plant blower tear its bearings apart because a complex, plant-wide monitoring rack configuration drop-out left it completely unprotected? The Bently Nevada 2300/20-00-00 solves that vulnerability by providing independent, self-contained continuous vibration monitoring and high-vibration level alarming for medium-to-low criticality machinery. This compact device features two independent seismic or proximity channel inputs along with a dedicated speed/Keyphasor input, delivering asset protection right at the machine skid. On a recent facility overhaul at a municipal water treatment plant, our field engineers utilized these units to replace failing legacy 1900/27 monitors. By routing the local programmable 4-20 mA outputs directly back to the main DCS, the facility regained full machinery trip protection without the cost of complex bus architecture. The specific part number sequence is defined as: 2300/20 (Vibration Monitor with Dual 4-20 mA Outputs), -00 (Approvals Option: None / Standard Industrial), and -00 (Modification Option: Standard Standard Chassis).

The unit features built-in current sink/source capabilities to interface seamlessly with standard ICP accelerometers and Velomitor sensors without an external power supply injector. Parameter Specification Value Power Input Range 18 to 36 VDC, 7.5 W maximum power consumption Seismic Inputs 2 channels (Supports ICP Accelerometers, Velomitors, Proximitors) Speed Input Channel 1 Keyphasor input (Proximity probe, magnetic pickup, or proximity switch) Analog Outputs (-20 Variant) Two 4-20 mA proportional outputs (0 to 600 \Omega load resistance) Relay Terminals 2 SPDT relay outputs with software-programmable setpoints Frequency Bandpass Filter Configurable from 0.2 Hz to 20 kHz Communication Interface Ethernet 10/100 Base-T (RJ-45) via BN Monitor Configuration Software Mounting Footprint Integrated DIN rail mount assembly or panel mount option Global Customs, Export Control, and Shipping Compliance Logistics Moving specialized monitoring instrumentation into global industrial hubs requires precise regulatory declaration to navigate port-of-entry inspections smoothly. Export Controls and Documentation Requirements The 2300/20-00-00 is categorized under Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) EAR99. Because it is designed for standard industrial Balance of Plant (BOP) machinery and does not utilize specialized military telemetry or sub-nanosecond processing arrays, it qualifies for No License Required (NLR) shipping protocols to most global destinations. We process every commercial invoice with the globally standardized HS Tariff Code: 9031.80.80 (Other measuring or checking instruments) to clear local customs without administrative holdups. Premium Transit and Packaging Rules Environmental Cushioning: These monitors contain precise LCD status screens and microprocessors.

Delivery times to standard industrial locations throughout Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region typically fall within 3 to 5 business days. Incoterms and Commercial Conditions Transactions are processed under EXW (Ex Works) or FCA (Free Carrier) guidelines. If your engineering firm or enterprise procurement system requires local port handling and destination tax structures bundled into the base transaction, request a DAP (Delivered at Place) or DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) structural quote from our international trading group. Condition Monitoring Engineering FAQ Can this unit supply loop power to externally powered 4-20 mA transmitter loops? To be frank, absolutely not. Bently Nevada technical documentation explicitly warns that the dual 4-20 mA analog outputs will not function if subjected to an externally powered current loop. The monitor relies on its own internal power rail loop to drive the proportional 4-20 mA loop current across your DCS input cards. Can I run two proximity probes and two accelerometers on a single module? No, the processing layout is physically limited. The hardware has exactly two seismic/proximity hardware input channels. Well, technically you can monitor a combination—like one accelerometer and one proximity probe—but if you have four separate discrete sensor signals coming off a compressor, you will need to order two separate 2300/20 modules. What software do I need to establish a connection and configure the setpoints? The monitor uses Bently Nevada Monitor Configuration (BNMC) software over a standard TCP/IP Ethernet link. This software is included with the device purchase. To modify setpoints or adjust the bandpass filters, remember that you must physically bridge the configuration lock terminal contacts on the back terminal block.
