• Precision Micrometer: Features a high-resolution micrometer for precise gap adjustments, allowing for accurate simulation of shaft displacement.

• Portable and Rugged: Housed in a sturdy, field-ready carry case, designed to withstand the wear and tear of active power plant and offshore environments.

• Universal Voltage Support: Operates efficiently on 95-250 VAC (50/60 Hz), ensuring compatibility with global power standards.

• Integrated Safety: Features a 1-amp protection circuit to ensure safe operation while testing sensitive electronic monitoring components.

Technical Specifications

Model Configuration Explanation

The TK-3e 177313-02-02 represents the optimized configuration for modern vibration monitoring maintenance:

• TK-3e: The core designation for the enhanced Proximity System Test Kit platform.

• 177313: The base part number for the modular Bently Nevada test kit assembly.

• 02-02: Specifies the global voltage compatibility (95-250 VAC) and current protective circuitry (1 Amp), ensuring it meets the requirements for international field sites without needing multiple power adapters.

Typical Applications

• Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI): Essential for verifying the calibration of radial vibration and axial position probes.

• Predictive Maintenance: Periodic testing of sensors on critical pumps, fans, and gearboxes to ensure alarm logic functions correctly.

• Commissioning: Used during the installation of new machinery to validate probe installation and signal chain integrity.

• Laboratory Calibration: Serving as a reference standard for validating the output characteristics of new sensors before field deployment.

System Compatibility

The TK-3e is explicitly designed to support the entire Bently Nevada proximity transducer family, including the 3300, 3300 XL, and older 7200 series systems. It provides the necessary targets (4140 steel) and signal interfaces to simulate real-world machine vibration conditions, making it fully compatible with all 3500 and 3300 series monitor racks.

Installation Guidelines

1. Setup: Place the TK-3e on a level, stable surface.

2. Connection: Connect the system power cable to a standard AC outlet.

3. Mounting: Secure the probe to be tested into the TK-3e's probe holder.

4. Gap Adjustment: Use the micrometers to simulate shaft gap changes while monitoring the Proximitor output voltage.

5. Validation: Compare the output voltage or current (mA) with the manufacturer’s calibration curve to confirm system accuracy.
