Specifications and Ordering Information Part Number 161250-01 Rev. B (06/07) Page 1 of 9 3300 System Overview Function The 3300 System provides continuous, online monitoring suitable for machinery protection applications, and is designed to fully meet the requirements of the American Petroleum Institute’s API 670 standard for such systems. The system’s highly modular design consists of an Instrument Rack, ac or dc Power Supply, System Monitor, and one or more monitor modules chosen to provide the required monitoring functionality. This building-block approach makes the 3300 System versatile, expandable, and cost-effective as your monitoring requirements change. For the majority of applications, Bently Nevada recommends the use of our 3500 Series Machinery Protection System as a newer and more capable product with a variety of features and functions not available with 3300. Consult your local sales professional for more information. System Components Rack Maximum flexibility includes economical expansion by physical rack growth. The 3300 rack is available in several sizes. This allows you to order exactly the size required to fit the monitors for your specific application. For example, if your application requires only two monitors, you can order a four-position (4P) rack to accommodate a Power Supply, System Monitor, and the two monitors of your choice. However, if you need to add monitors in the future, the rack size can be enlarged in the field, without soldering or use of special tools, simply by adding more rack sections and changing the backplane. Racks are available in seven panel-mount sizes ranging from 4- to 14-positions. The 8P rack is also available in a 19-inch EIA version. The left-most rack position (position 1) is reserved for the Power Supply. The next rack position (position 2) is for the System Monitor. All other rack positions (3 - 14) are available for any combination of monitor types. The rack depth is 424 mm (16.7 inches) and a weatherproof housing is available when required for environmental protection or for the use of purge air in hazardous area installations.
