Bently Nevada 170190-01 141380-03 - Proximitor® Sensor / Seismic Transmitter
Description:
The Bently Nevada 170190-01 141380-03 is a versatile field-mounted device that functions both as a Proximitor® Sensor and a Seismic Transmitter. This dual-function unit is part of the Bently Nevada (now part of Baker Hughes) 3300 XL product line. It conditions and converts raw analog signals from vibration and position transducers into standardized 4-20 mA output signals that are easily interpreted by plant Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), or other monitoring equipment. Its primary role is to interface between sensitive machinery monitoring probes and the broader plant control and monitoring network, enabling continuous condition monitoring and basic alarm functions.
Specifications / Parameters
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model / Part Number | 170190-01 141380-03 |
| Product Line | Bently Nevada 3300 XL |
| Product Type | Dual-Function Field Mount Transmitter (Proximitor® & Seismic) |
| Input Power | Typically +18 to +30 VDC, loop-powered (2-wire) |
| Output Signal | 4-20 mA, linearly proportional to the measured parameter. |
| Input Compatibility | • Proximitor® Input: Accepts signal from Eddy Current Proximity Probes (e.g., 5 mm or 8 mm). Measures shaft relative vibration and position (e.g., radial vibration, axial position, eccentricity). • Seismic Input: Accepts signal from a velocity seismometer (e.g., 100 mV/in/s). Measures casing or bearing absolute vibration. |
| Mounting | Field-mount enclosure, typically on a DIN rail or a flat surface. |
| Enclosure Rating | Typically IP65 or similar for protection against dust and water jets. |
| Dimensions (L x W x H) | Approx. 110 mm x 85 mm x 55 mm (4.3" x 3.3" x 2.2") [Based on standard 3300 XL transmitter dimensions] |
| Weight | Approx. 0.4 kg (0.9 lb) |
Important Note: The dimensions and weight are typical for this class of device. For precise mechanical and electrical specifications for this exact part number, consulting the official Bently Nevada 3300 XL product data sheet is essential.
Application Scenarios
This transmitter is used for continuous monitoring of general-purpose machinery where integration into a plant's control system is required. Its key application scenarios include:
Non-Critical Machinery Monitoring:
Used on pumps, fans, motors, and compressors that are important for the process but do not require the high-level protection of a dedicated system like the 3500. It provides essential condition data for predictive maintenance programs.
Plant DCS/PLC Integration:
Converts vibration and position signals into a standard 4-20 mA format, allowing plant operators to view machinery health directly on their main control system screens and set basic alarm limits for early warning of developing faults.
Continuous Condition Monitoring:
Provides a cost-effective means to monitor overall vibration levels (from both seismic and proximity inputs) on a wide range of equipment, helping maintenance teams identify issues like unbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear before they lead to failure.
Auxiliary Equipment in Power Generation and Process Plants:
Ideal for monitoring auxiliary equipment such as cooling water pumps, induced draft fans, and boiler feed pumps within power plants, refineries, and water treatment facilities.
Retrofitting and System Expansion:
Often used to add monitoring capabilities to existing machinery that was not originally equipped with a full protection system, thereby upgrading the facility's overall asset management and reliability.
