The Bently Nevada 1701/15 (Part Number 141379-01) is a high-performance Proximitor Input Monitor specifically designed for the 1701 FieldMonitor Distributed Protection System (DPS). This 2-channel module provides localized machinery protection by accepting direct signals from proximity probes and velocity sensors. It accurately measures radial vibration and thrust position, comparing real-time data against user-programmable alarm setpoints. By processing signals at the machine level, the 1701/15 initiates protective trips and alarm annunciation to safeguard critical rotating assets like turbines, compressors, and pumps from catastrophic failure.
The 141379-01 utilizes a compact, rail-ready design to facilitate monitoring in distributed architectures where traditional rack-based systems are impractical.

Localized Distributed Protection: The 1701/15 module allows for a "Distributed Protection" strategy. By mounting the monitor closer to the machinery, you reduce the length of sensitive analog transducer cables, which minimizes signal attenuation and protects the data from electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Dual-Channel Versatility: This module handles two independent signal paths. Engineers can configure it to monitor two radial vibration points on a single bearing, or combine one vibration point with one thrust (axial) position measurement, maximizing the utility of a single hardware footprint.
Autonomous Alarm Logic: The 141379-01 contains internal processing for alarm setpoints. Even if communication with the host control system is interrupted, the module continues to compare field signals against programmed limits, ensuring continuous machine protection.
Wide Temperature Resilience: Rated for operation up to +70 °C, the module thrives in harsh industrial environments. The rugged housing and high-quality internal components prevent thermal drift, maintaining measurement accuracy even during extreme seasonal temperature shifts.
The 1701/15 identification defines the specific monitor function within the FieldMonitor family:
1701/15: Specifies the Proximitor Input Monitor variant.
141379-01: Represents the standard hardware assembly for the 2-channel input configuration.
System Match: This module integrates specifically with the 1701 DPS infrastructure and typically requires 24VDC field power.
Q: Is the 1701/15 141379-01 module 100% Brand New?
A: Yes. We supply only 100% Brand New and Original Bently Nevada hardware in factory packing. Every unit includes a 12-month factory warranty to ensure long-term reliability in your machinery protection loop.
Q: Does this module require an external Proximitor?
A: The 1701/15 accepts signals from external Proximitor modules or internal Proximitor module configurations depending on the transducer I/O setup. It is designed to condition these signals for high-accuracy comparison against alarm thresholds.
Q: Can this module monitor both vibration and thrust position simultaneously?
A: Yes. The 2-channel architecture allows you to dedicate one channel to radial vibration and the second channel to thrust (axial) displacement, providing a comprehensive monitoring solution for a single bearing housing.
Q: What is the typical lead time and shipping method?
A: We currently maintain stock for the 141379-01. Standard orders ship via premium carriers like DHL or FedEx to ensure your critical machinery protection components arrive safely and promptly.
