This generation of the 3300 System uses 3300/02 System Monitor. The Power Supply, Backplane and firmware in each of the monitors must be SDI/DDI compatible. The TDe System is not compatible with any external Communications Processors as they are not required for TDe to directly interface to System 1® Software.1. See Table 3 in Section 2.4 for a list of SDI/DDI compatible firmware for each monitor. Some monitors were originally shipped with SDI/DDI compatible firmware. 2. It is not possible to use the old backplane with the new power supplies or to use the new backplane with the old power supplies. 3. If the 3300/14 DC Power Supply is to be used with the Original backplane, the original PIM MUST be used. 3300/14 is not compatible with 3300/01-02 System Monitors.
System Identification
The following sections discuss how to determine the configuration of your 3300 System. You may use the following steps as a guideline to identify your monitoring system. • Examine the front panels of the System Monitor and Power Supply and check the Power Input Module on the back of the rack. Use the information in Sections 2.2.1, 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 to determine your system configuration. • If there is any question as to the system configuration after completing step 1, use Section 2.3 to identify the backplane. The backplane determines whether the rack is an SDI/DDI System rack or an Original System rack. Note: The new backplane cannot be used with the old power supplies and the old backplane cannot be used with the new power supplies. They BOTH must be updated at the same time. • Use Section 2.4 to determine the firmware identity on individual 3300 monitors. The firmware in some early 3300 monitors is not compatible with newer generation data interfaces (SDIX/DDIX, TDIX, TDXnet™ communication processors or TDe). Similarly, some new multi-channel monitors are not compatible with older external Communications Processors. See Section 3 for compatibility information
Mixed System
Consists of an original system with a 3300/03-01 System Monitor, a 3300/10 or /11 or /14 Power Supply, an original backplane, and one of the original Power Input Modules shown in Figure 2.In this configuration the 3300/03-01 is a replacement for the 3300/01-01 System Monitor. Note that only two Keyphasor® transducers, Key ∅® 1 and Key ∅® 2 are available.Se Appendix A for the list of hardware upgrade kit part numbers and/or contact your Bently Nevada representative to upgrade a system.See Table 4 in Section 3.3 for information on compatibility with communications processors and software for this system configuration.
