Product Overview
The Bently Nevada TK3-2E 177313-02-02 Proximity System Test Kit is a specialized test kit used for checking and troubleshooting compatible proximity measurement systems in rotating machinery applications.
Proximity systems are commonly used where shaft position, displacement, or vibration-related movement needs to be monitored. During commissioning or maintenance, a technician may need to determine whether an abnormal signal comes from the probe itself, the extension cable, the associated electronics, or the monitoring channel. A dedicated test kit allows this part of the system to be evaluated under controlled conditions.
The TK3-2E is therefore mainly a service and diagnostic tool, rather than a component that remains permanently installed in the machinery protection system. It can be useful during field maintenance, workshop testing, system commissioning, and fault investigation.
For maintenance teams working with rotating equipment, having a dedicated proximity-system test setup can make troubleshooting more systematic because the measurement chain can be checked without depending entirely on the machine’s normal operating condition.

Product Features
The TK3-2E 177313-02-02 is intended for practical testing of compatible proximity-system equipment.
Key characteristics include:
- Bently Nevada TK3-2E test kit
- Intended for proximity measurement-system testing
- Suitable for commissioning and maintenance
- Useful for troubleshooting abnormal measurement signals
- Can be used in workshop and field-service environments
- Helps technicians evaluate the proximity signal path
- Suitable for controlled verification of compatible equipment
- Applicable to rotating-machinery monitoring systems

- Stated weight of 5.22 kg
The specific equipment and test procedure should be confirmed before connecting the test kit to an installed proximity system.
Working Principle
A typical test arrangement can be understood as:
TK3-2E Test Kit → Proximity System → Monitoring Equipment
Under normal operating conditions, the proximity probe detects movement of the monitored shaft and sends a corresponding signal through the associated cable and electronics.
When maintenance personnel need to check the system, the test kit can be introduced into the measurement setup to create a controlled test condition. The response of the connected equipment can then be evaluated against the expected behavior.
This is particularly useful when a machinery monitoring channel produces an unexpected indication. Instead of immediately replacing the probe, technicians can work through the measurement path and determine whether the abnormal behavior originates from the sensor, cabling, interface electronics, or monitoring equipment.
The test kit is therefore most useful as part of a structured troubleshooting process rather than as an operating component of the machinery protection system.
Industrial Applications
The TK3-2E 177313-02-02 is suited to maintenance and diagnostic work involving rotating machinery and proximity-based monitoring systems.
| Application | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Turbomachinery Maintenance | Proximity-system verification |
| Compressor Systems | Sensor and signal-path testing |
| Pump Systems | Shaft-monitoring diagnostics |
| Power Generation | Machinery protection maintenance |
| Industrial Rotating Equipment | Condition-monitoring troubleshooting |
| Machinery Commissioning | Initial proximity-system testing |
| Maintenance Workshops | Bench testing and verification |
| Field Service | On-site diagnostic work |
The actual application depends on the type of proximity system and monitoring equipment being tested.
Compatible System Components
The TK3-2E normally works with the individual components that make up a proximity measurement chain.
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| TK3-2E 177313-02-02 | Provides proximity-system test capability |
| Proximity Probe | Detects shaft movement or displacement |
| Probe Extension Cable | Transfers the probe signal |
| Proximity Interface Electronics | Processes the probe signal |
| Monitoring Module | Receives and evaluates measurement information |
| Machinery Protection System | Monitors machine condition |
| Monitoring Rack | Houses compatible monitoring electronics |
| Test Cables / Accessories | Connect the test kit to the equipment under test |
When diagnosing an abnormal signal, it is useful to evaluate these components as a complete system. A fault in one section of the signal path can produce symptoms that appear elsewhere in the monitoring system.
Installation and Maintenance
The TK3-2E 177313-02-02 is portable test equipment, so installation considerations are different from those for a permanently mounted monitoring module.
Before use, inspect the test kit, cables, connectors, and accessories. The equipment being tested should also be identified before making any connections.
Recommended checks include:
- Confirm the complete TK3-2E 177313-02-02 part number.
- Verify compatibility with the proximity system under test.
- Inspect cables and connectors for damage.
- Check the test-kit housing and connection points.
- Confirm the intended test configuration.
- Follow the applicable testing procedure.
- Ensure connections are properly secured.
- Avoid unsuitable test conditions.
- Record test results where required.
- Protect the kit during transportation.
- Store the equipment appropriately after use.
- Inspect accessories before subsequent testing.
When a proximity system produces an abnormal reading, calibration or test results should be evaluated alongside the actual operating condition of the machine. An instrumentation system can be functioning correctly while accurately reporting a genuine mechanical change.

Technical FAQs
What is the difference between a proximity system test kit and a permanent monitoring module?
A test kit is brought into the system when technicians need to perform verification, commissioning, or troubleshooting. A monitoring module, by contrast, normally remains installed as part of the machinery monitoring or protection system.
When would a technician use the TK3-2E 177313-02-02?
Typical situations include commissioning a new proximity measurement system, investigating an abnormal sensor signal, checking equipment during preventive maintenance, or verifying a system after component replacement.
Can an abnormal proximity signal be caused by something other than the probe?
Yes. The extension cable, interface electronics, monitoring module, wiring, configuration, or even the actual mechanical condition of the machine can contribute to an abnormal indication. Testing the complete signal path helps narrow down the cause.
What should be inspected before using the TK3-2E test kit?
The test kit’s part number, cables, connectors, accessories, equipment under test, and intended test configuration should be checked. The applicable test procedure should also be established before connections are made.
