Product introduction

The 1900/65A from Bently Nevada is a compact yet powerful proximity transducer system monitor, engineered to provide precise measurement of shaft displacement, position, and vibration in rotating machinery. As part of Bently Nevada’s 1900 series—a line renowned for reliability in mid-range machinery protection—the 1900/65A strikes a balance between advanced functionality and user-friendly operation, making it ideal for both retrofits and new installations.

Designed to work seamlessly with Bently Nevada’s proximity probes, the 1900/65A converts raw sensor data into actionable insights, enabling operators to monitor critical parameters like shaft position in pumps, motors, and compressors. Its ability to deliver real-time measurements and trigger alarms ensures timely intervention, preventing equipment damage and unplanned downtime. By combining rugged construction with intuitive setup, the 1900/65A has become a trusted solution for industries where machinery health directly impacts operational efficiency.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Simplified integration: The 1900/65A is designed for plug-and-play functionality, reducing installation time and complexity. Its compatibility with standard proximity probes—both Bently Nevada and third-party models—eliminates the need for specialized components, making it easy to integrate into existing systems. The module’s clear labeling and straightforward wiring scheme further streamline setup, allowing maintenance teams to get it operational with minimal training.

Versatile monitoring capabilities: Beyond basic displacement measurement, the 1900/65A offers advanced features such as peak-to-peak vibration calculation and trend analysis. This versatility allows it to adapt to diverse applications, from monitoring pump shaft position in water treatment plants to tracking rotor movement in industrial fans. Its 4-channel design enables simultaneous monitoring of multiple machine points, providing a holistic view of equipment health.

Cost-effective reliability: Balancing performance and affordability, the 1900/65A delivers professional-grade monitoring without the premium price tag of high-end systems. Its robust electronics and durable housing ensure consistent performance in industrial environments, while low power consumption reduces long-term operational costs. For facilities seeking reliable machinery protection on a budget, the 1900/65A offers an unbeatable combination of value and functionality.

Typical application scenarios

In water and wastewater treatment plants, the 1900/65A is widely used to monitor the shaft position of large pumps and mixers. By tracking axial and radial movement, it detects issues like bearing wear or impeller imbalance early, preventing costly failures that could disrupt water supply. Its ability to operate in damp environments and resist corrosion makes it well-suited to the humid conditions of treatment facilities.

Within the food and beverage industry, the 1900/65A safeguards critical machinery such as conveyor motors and processing mixers. In facilities where hygiene is paramount, its compact design allows for installation in tight spaces without compromising cleanliness, while its reliable alarm system ensures that even minor deviations in shaft movement are flagged before they affect production quality.

In HVAC systems for commercial buildings and industrial complexes, the 1900/65A monitors the performance of large air handling units and chillers. By tracking fan and compressor shaft vibration, it helps facility managers schedule maintenance during off-peak hours, avoiding disruptions to climate control services. Its compatibility with building management systems (BMS) allows for centralized monitoring, simplifying overall facility operations.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation: Before installing the 1900/65A, confirm that the mounting surface is flat and vibration-free to avoid measurement interference. Ensure the operating environment meets temperature and humidity specifications, and keep the module away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Use shielded cables for probe connections to minimize electrical noise, and verify that the power supply falls within the 18-32V DC range. During mounting, secure the module firmly using the provided hardware to prevent movement that could affect signal stability.

Maintenance suggestions: Perform quarterly inspections of the 1900/65A to check for loose connections or dust accumulation, which can impact performance. Calibrate the module annually using Bently Nevada’s calibration kit to maintain measurement accuracy. If an alarm is triggered, first check probe alignment and cable integrity before assuming a module fault—many issues stem from external factors rather than internal component failure. When replacing probes or cables, ensure they meet the 1900/65A’s specifications to avoid compatibility issues.
