Bently Nevada 3500/25-01-02-00

Product Overview: The 3500/25-01-02-00 is an Enhanced Keyphasor Module within the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. It is a half-height, dual-channel module that provides keyphasor signals to monitor modules in the rack. The part number decoding is: “01” = one half-height 2-channel keyphasor card (ordered for 2 channels); “02” = I/O module with external terminals (non-isolated); “00” = no agency approval. The module PWA is 149369-01 paired with I/O module 126648-01.

Functional Features:

  • Receives signals from eddy current proximity probes or magnetic pickups
  • Converts analog input to digital keyphasor pulses for shaft phase reference
  • Provides two buffered keyphasor outputs accessible via front panel coaxial connectors and rear Euro-connector
  • Automatic and manual threshold detection modes
  • Records shaft speed from each keyphasor sensor
  • Returns module and channel status to the rack
  • Field-upgradeable firmware
  • Generates once-per-revolution event signals from multiple-per-revolution inputs
  • Fully backward-compatible with legacy 3500 Keyphasor module (PWA 125792-01)

Application Scenarios:

  • Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) systems
  • Vibration vector measurement in rotating machinery
  • Compressor, pump, fan, and motor monitoring
  • Phase-synchronous data acquisition for orbit plots and Bode/Polar diagrams
  • Applications where CSA/NRTL/C agency approval is not required

Performance Parameters:

  • Channel count: 2 channels per module
  • Maximum keyphasor signals per system: 4 (standard), 8 (paired configuration)
  • Minimum detectable frequency: 120 rpm (2 Hz) with auto threshold
  • Minimum detectable frequency: 1 rpm (0.017 Hz) with manual threshold
  • Passive magnetic pickup minimum shaft speed: 200 rpm (3.3 Hz)

Material Composition:

  • High-reliability electronic components on multi-layer PCB
  • Metal module enclosure with conformal coating
  • Gold-plated backplane edge connectors
  • Coaxial connectors for buffered output

Structural Features:

  • Half-height module form factor
  • Front panel with OK and TX/RX LED indicators, plus two coaxial buffered output connectors
  • Rear I/O module (full-height) with external terminal connections
  • Plug-in design compatible with any accessible rack slot

Working Principle:
Identical to the 3500/25-01-01-01 — the module receives analog signals from proximity probes or magnetic pickups, applies threshold detection and hysteresis filtering, and generates a clean digital keyphasor pulse each time the shaft keyphasor mark passes the sensor. This digital signal serves as a phase reference for all monitor modules in the rack.

Installation Requirements:

  • Install the half-height main module in any accessible rack slot (top or bottom half-slot position)
  • Install the corresponding I/O module (126648-01) in the full-height rear slot
  • Each rack supports a maximum of two keyphasor main modules
  • Connect sensor cables to the I/O module external terminals
  • Configure threshold mode and hysteresis via 3500 Rack Configuration Software

Usage Notes:

  • The “-02” I/O variant uses external terminals, which are suitable for applications where field wiring connections are made at a separate terminal block
  • The “00” agency approval option indicates this module is intended for applications where CSA/NRTL/C certification is not required
  • The 149369-01 module directly replaces the legacy 125792-01 Keyphasor module
  • For paired (redundant) configuration, two consecutive monitoring positions are required
