2300 Dual Channel Monitor

Description
The 2300 General Purpose Equipment Monitor series provides cost-effective continuous vibration monitoring and protection capabilities for less critical and spared machinery. It is specifically designed to continuously monitor and protect essential balanceof- plant equipment assets in a wide range of industries including: Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Water Treatment, Pulp & Paper, Manufacturing, Mining, Cement, and a wide range of equipment in other industries. The 2300 Monitor series delivers vibration monitoring and high vibration level alarming. It includes two channels of seismic measurement inputs from various accelerometer types, a speed input channel for time-synchronous measurements, and outputs for relay contacts, 4-20 mA*, SPA*, and Modbus/TCP outputs*. Utilizing GE’s Bently Nevada Monitor Configuration software (BNMC), the 2300 is easily configured. The 2300 Monitor series is designed for use on a broad range of machine trains or individual casings where the sensor point count fits the monitor’s channel count and where advanced signal processing is desired. The 2300 Monitor series provides very low cost condition monitoring and protection capability on less critical and essential machinery.
