4. Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 170115-01 is the 1701/15 FieldMonitor Proximitor Input Monitor, a 2-channel device that accepts signals from proximity probes for radial vibration and thrust position measurements in the 1701 distributed monitoring system.
It brings protection monitoring closer to the machine in harsh field environments. This setup reduces long cable runs and signal noise common in traditional rack-based systems. In field use on pumps, compressors, and smaller turbines, the 1701/15 delivers reliable gap voltage and vibration data directly where you need it.

5. Troubleshooting Quick Reference
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Relevance to this Part | Quick Check Method | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No OK LED or constant fault | Probe gap out of range or wiring fault | High | Measure gap voltage at terminals (typically -2 to -18 V DC) | Verify probe installation and target material |
| Unstable vibration readings | Poor grounding or cable damage | High | Check shield continuity and probe cable resistance | Inspect field wiring; replace cable if damaged |
| Module not communicating | Power supply or comms issue | Medium | Verify 24 V DC at power terminals; check FieldMonitor host link | Confirm power and network connections to host |
| High temperature fault | Ambient exceeds rating | Low | Measure cabinet or local temp | Relocate or add cooling; module rated to +70°C |
| Buffered output flat | Transducer failure | High | Use oscilloscope on buffered output | Test probe separately; replace if no signal |
Contact technical support with module serial, probe type, gap readings, and any error codes if these steps do not resolve the issue.
6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How many channels does the 170115-01 support? Two channels. Each handles one proximity probe for measurements like radial vibration or thrust position.
Is it hot-swappable? No. Power down the 1701 system before installing or removing the module to avoid damage to the unit or connected probes.
What power does it need? 24 V DC nominal (18–32 V DC range). Keep total power draw in mind when planning your FieldMonitor field cabinet.
Will it work as a direct replacement in my 1701 system? Yes, if your setup uses the matching transducer I/O for proximity probes. Confirm the exact configuration in your existing FieldMonitor documentation.
Is this New Surplus? New Original / New Surplus. Units are tested on 1701 hardware before shipment. Full traceability from OEM sources.
Can it handle high-temperature probes? It works with standard 3300 XL and similar proximity systems. Check probe temperature ratings separately as the monitor itself goes to +70°C.
What about warranty and availability? 1-year warranty. Stock is limited on many 1701 series parts—reach out for current lead time and quantity.
