FAQs

1. What is the Bently Nevada 133300-01 and what does it do?
The 133300-01 is a Keyphasor® (Phase Reference) Module for the Bently Nevada 3500 Monitoring System. It provides a once-per-turn voltage pulse from a rotating shaft to the monitoring system, enabling phase reference measurements, synchronous data sampling, and advanced vibration analysis.
2. What type of sensors are compatible with this module?
The Keyphasor Module interfaces with proximity probes or magnetic pickups mounted near the rotating shaft. It can be configured for both types of sensors depending on the application and mounting orientation.
3. What applications require a Keyphasor signal?
A Keyphasor signal is essential for:
-
Phase measurement (relationship between shaft position and vibration)
-
Bode plots (magnitude and phase vs. speed during startup/shutdown)
-
Cascade plots (frequency spectrum vs. speed)
-
Shaft centerline plots (rotor position tracking)
-
Orbit plots (shaft motion visualization)
4. Is this module still in production?
Yes, the 133300-01 Keyphasor Module is typically available as a standard product within the 3500 Series. However, always confirm availability with an authorized Bently Nevada distributor, as product availability and lifecycles can change.
5. How is the Keyphasor Module installed in a 3500 rack?
The module installs into a standard 3500 Series rack slot, connecting via the backplane. It is compatible with the 3500 rack mounting system. A proximity probe or magnetic pickup is field-wired to the module's front terminals. The system software then uses the Keyphasor signal for phase reference and synchronous sampling of vibration channels.
