Description

Bently 3500/40

Technical Specifications

  • Module Type: 4-Channel Proximitor® I/O Module
  • Channel Count: 4 independent channels
  • Slot Placement: Any available monitor slot

Functional Features

  • Versatile Measurement: Supports radial vibration, axial displacement, eccentricity, and differential expansion.
  • Software Configurable: Each channel can be independently programmed via the 3500 Rack Configuration Software.
  • Continuous Monitoring: Continuously compares current machine vibration values against user-programmable alert and danger setpoints.

Application Scenarios
Widely deployed in power generation, petroleum refining, metallurgy, and chemical processing for the continuous monitoring and protection of large rotating machinery.

Performance Parameters

  • Storage Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C
  • Humidity: 95% non-condensing

Material Composition
Industrial-grade electronic components with conformal coating for environmental protection.

Structural Characteristics
Full-height module with front-panel LED indicators for channel status and module health.

Working Principle
Receives raw signals from proximity probes, conditions them to generate vibration/displacement measurements, and compares them against configured thresholds to trigger alarms.

Installation Requirements
Install in any available monitor slot. Connect proximity probe cables using appropriate shielded cabling.

Usage Notes
Requires proper sensor gap calibration and configuration via the 3500 Rack Configuration Software.
