Functional Features:
- 2-channel tachometer module accepting proximity probe or magnetic pickup inputs
- Configurable for four different measurement types: speed monitoring with setpoint alarm and speed band alarm; speed monitoring with setpoint alarm and zero speed indication; speed monitoring with setpoint alarm and rotor acceleration alarm; speed monitoring with setpoint alarm and reverse rotation indication
- Can be configured to provide Keyphasor signal to the 3500 rack backplane for use by other monitors, eliminating the need for a separate Keyphasor module
- Peak hold function: stores the highest speed, highest reverse speed, or number of reversals the machine has reached
- Peak values are user-resettable
- Automatic threshold voltage for inputs greater than 0.0167 Hz (1 rpm for 1 event/rev), minimum trigger amplitude of 1V peak-to-peak
- Manual threshold voltage selectable between +9.5V DC and -23.5V DC, minimum trigger amplitude of 0.5V peak-to-peak
- Hysteresis voltage selectable between 0.2V and 2.5V
- Recorder output: +4 to +20 mA proportional to module full-scale value (rpm or rpm/min)
- Front panel LEDs: OK, TX/RX, and Bypass indicators
- Buffered sensor output with short circuit and ESD protection via coaxial connector on front panel
Application Scenarios:
- Shaft speed monitoring for turbines, compressors, pumps, fans, and motors
- Zero speed detection for turning gear engagement
- Reverse rotation detection
- Rotor acceleration monitoring during startup
- Speed band monitoring for critical speed avoidance
- Keyphasor signal generation for phase-referenced vibration analysis
- Power generation, petrochemical, metallurgical, and cement industries
