BENTLY 3500/42M 176449-02
Product Name: Bently Nevada 3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor
Product Description:
The Bently Nevada 3500/42M (part number 176449-02) is a four-channel monitor designed for the Bently Nevada 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. This module is a dual-function Proximitor/Seismic Monitor, meaning it accepts input from both proximity transducers (for shaft vibration and position measurements) and seismic transducers (for casing and bearing vibration measurements). It conditions these signals to provide various vibration and position parameters and compares them against user-programmable alarms to protect critical machinery. Each channel can be configured via the 3500 Rack Configuration Software to perform functions such as radial vibration, thrust position, differential expansion, eccentricity, REBAM, acceleration, velocity, shaft absolute, and circular acceptance region. The monitor channels are programmed in pairs, allowing for up to two different monitoring functions simultaneously.
Key Characteristics:
- Four-Channel Monitor: Accepts input from up to four transducers.
- Dual Functionality: Supports both proximity and seismic transducer inputs.
- Versatile Monitoring: Can be configured to monitor various vibration and position parameters.
- Alarm System: Features user-programmable alert and danger setpoints for each active static value.
- Comprehensive Protection: Provides machinery protection by continuously comparing monitored parameters against alarm setpoints.
- Communication Capabilities: Communicates essential machine information to operations and maintenance personnel.
