Bently Nevada 3500/25 149369-01

Product Overview: The 149369-01 is the main module PWA (Printed Wiring Assembly) for the Bently Nevada 3500/25 Enhanced Keyphasor Module. This is the core processing card that performs signal conditioning, threshold detection, and digital keyphasor pulse generation. It is a half-height module that plugs into the 3500 rack and works in conjunction with a companion I/O module (such as 125800-01, 126648-01, 125800-02, or 126648-02) to provide the complete keyphasor function. This module is the direct replacement for the legacy Keyphasor module PWA 125792-01.

  • 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

Application Scenarios:

  • All 3500 system installations requiring keyphasor reference signals
  • Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) systems
  • Vibration vector measurement (1X amplitude and phase)
  • Phase-synchronous data acquisition
  • TMR configurations for critical machinery protection

Structural Features:

  • Half-height module form factor
  • Front panel with OK and TX/RX LED indicators, plus two coaxial buffered output connectors
  • Plug-in design compatible with any accessible rack slot (top or bottom half-slot position)

Working Principle:
The 149369-01 main module receives conditioned analog signals from the companion I/O module, 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, enabling vector measurements such as 1X amplitude and phase angle. The module also calculates and records shaft speed from the pulse frequency.

Installation Requirements:

  • Install in any accessible half-slot position (top or bottom) in the 3500 rack
  • Each rack supports a maximum of two keyphasor main modules
  • A companion I/O module must be installed in the corresponding full-height rear slot
  • For legacy system upgrades, the 149369-01 directly replaces the 125792-01 without rack modifications

Usage Notes:

  • The 149369-01 is the main module only — it requires a companion I/O module for complete functionality
  • Compatible I/O modules include: 125800-01 (non-isolated, internal terminals), 126648-01 (non-isolated, external terminals), 125800-02 (isolated, internal terminals), 126648-02 (isolated, external terminals)
  • For TMR applications, two keyphasor modules operate in parallel to provide primary and auxiliary keyphasor signals
  • Verify the OK LED indicator shows normal status after installation and power-up
