The front panel integrates status indicator lights and operation buttons, allowing operators to view the running and alarm status on-site, complete basic parameter configuration, and operate simply and intuitively. The internal main circuit is divided into two completely independent signal processing units, corresponding to two measurement channels. Each unit integrates signal conditioning, filtering, fault detection, and alarm comparison functions circuits, with strong channel independence and low operating failure rate. The rear wiring terminals are arranged in zones, clearly dividing two channels of probe input terminals, four channels of relay alarm terminals, as well as power and system communication interfaces. The wiring is neat, facilitating on-site wiring, inspection, and fault troubleshooting. The module supports hot swapping, and replacing the module does not require shutting down the entire monitoring system, reducing the impact of maintenance work on the normal operation of the unit.

VI. System Compatibility

Hardware-wise, this module can fully adapt to the 3300 series standard rack, system power module, and system monitoring module. Different functions of modules in the same series can be installed in the same rack for collaborative work. The entire machine is compatible with 3300 XL series 5mm eddy current probes, extension cables, and preamplifiers. Components of the same specification can be directly interchanged without recalibration. Relay contacts can be connected to on-site sound and light alarms and unit safety interlock circuits. Software-wise, it is compatible with the Bechtel supporting configuration software and System 1 equipment status monitoring software, enabling remote parameter configuration, real-time data collection, trend analysis, fault record storage and query, and centralized management of the entire unit monitoring data after connecting to the system bus.

VII. Typical Application Scenarios

In the power industry, it is mainly used for radial vibration monitoring and over-limit protection of small and medium-sized steam turbines in thermal power plants, auxiliary power generation units, large feedwater pumps, and other equipment in auxiliary facilities, ensuring the stable operation of auxiliary equipment. In the petrochemical industry, it is applied in small and medium-sized centrifugal compressors, process pumps, and auxiliary turbine equipment in non-explosion-proof areas, real-time monitoring of vibration status, and early prevention of rotor faults causing shutdowns. The metallurgical industry is suitable for large fans, drive motors, and auxiliary transmission equipment of rolling mills. Through vibration monitoring, potential problems such as bearing wear and rotor imbalance can be predicted. It can also be applied to various medium and large-sized rotating machinery in general industrial fields such as cement, papermaking, and light industry, for online condition monitoring, preventive maintenance, and safety interlock protection.

VII. Installation and Maintenance Specifications

Installation Requirements

Insert the module smoothly into the vacant slot of the 3300 rack, ensuring that the rear connector is fully in contact. Tighten the fixing screws of the panel. Connect the two 5mm eddy current preamplifier signal cables to the corresponding input terminals according to the channel number, ensuring a firm and secure connection without loosening. Connect the relay contact lines to the alarm circuit or the unit interlock circuit according to the design plan. After confirming that the rack power supply is normal, power on. Use the panel buttons or remote configuration software to set the vibration alarm threshold, alarm delay, etc., according to the requirements of the on-site equipment. Save and take effect after setting. The installation of the probe must strictly follow the specifications. Set the static installation gap of the 5mm eddy current probe according to the standard value. Ensure that the probe end face is perpendicular to the surface of the measured shaft, and fix the probe cable well to avoid cable wear or breakage due to equipment operation vibration.

Daily Maintenance

During daily inspections, regularly observe the status of the panel indicator lights to confirm that the module and each channel are operating normally. At the same time, check for any looseness, oxidation, or overheating at all connection terminals. Regularly use a standard gap calibration device to calibrate the measurement accuracy of the module according to the design plan to ensure that the measurement data meets the technical standards. Regularly clean the surface of the module and the internal dust of the rack slot to ensure good ventilation and heat dissipation of the module, and prevent dust accumulation from causing poor heat dissipation and short circuits. When replacing spare parts, it is necessary to use the original Bentley module, probe, and matching cables of the same model. Do not use non-original accessories.

IX. Usage Precautions

This module has no explosion-proof structure or built-in safety barrier. It is strictly prohibited to install and use it in flammable and explosive, or areas with combustible gases or dust. It must be used in conjunction with the 3300 XL 5mm standard eddy current sensing system. Do not mix 8mm, 11mm, etc. other specifications of probes. Otherwise, there will be a mismatch in range and sensitivity, resulting in measurement failure. The static installation gap of the probe must be strictly executed according to the equipment specifications. Too small a gap is likely to cause wear and damage between the shaft and the probe, while too large a gap will result in insufficient signal strength and decreased measurement linearity. Do not disassemble the module, modify the internal circuit, or change the factory-calibrated length of the sensing cable without authorization. Illegal operations will cause equipment damage and loss of product warranty rights. Before conducting wiring, maintenance, or module replacement operations, it is necessary to cut off the power supply of the rack to prevent short circuits and electric shock accidents. The alarm threshold, delay, etc. must be set strictly according to the process requirements of the unit. Inappropriate parameters will cause protection failure or frequent false alarms. The installation position of the module should be as far away as possible from power frequency converters, transformers, high-voltage distribution cabinets, etc., which are strong electromagnetic interference sources, to reduce the impact of external interference on the measurement signal.
