Bently Nevada 1701/10 - Power Supply for Proximitor® Connector Assemblies
Description:
The Bently Nevada 1701/10 is a Power Supply unit specifically designed to provide the required DC voltage for Eddy Current Proximity Transducer systems, particularly those using Bently Nevada's Proximitor® connectors and cables. This device is a fundamental component in standalone machinery monitoring setups where a large system like a 3500 rack is not present or necessary. It converts standard AC or DC input power into a clean, regulated, and isolated DC output, which is used to power the proximitor electronics built into the connector. This enables the measurement of shaft relative vibration, axial position, and speed using eddy current probes.

Application Scenarios
The 1701/10 power supply is used in a wide range of applications to enable basic but critical machinery protection and monitoring.
Standalone Vibration Monitoring Systems:
Used to power proximity probe systems on critical pumps, fans, and motors that are not connected to a larger monitoring system like the 3500. The output is often connected to a panel meter or a simple PLC/DCS for alarm functions.
Retrofitting and System Upgrades:
Ideal for adding vibration monitoring capability to existing machinery that lacks it. The DIN rail mounting allows for easy installation in a local or main control panel.
Auxiliary Equipment Protection:
Provides a cost-effective solution for monitoring auxiliary equipment in power plants, refineries, and water treatment facilities, where a full-scale TMR system is not justified but basic protection is needed.
Panel Integration for OEM Machinery:
Often built into the original control panels of compressors, turbines, and other rotating equipment by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to provide a built-in machinery monitoring capability.
Testing and Commissioning:
Used by maintenance and commissioning teams to power proximity probes during machinery alignment, balancing, and startup checks when the permanent monitoring system is not yet available or under maintenance.
