Bently Nevada 3500/42M Proximity Seismic Monitor



Bently Nevada 3500/42M Proximity Seismic Monitor

Product core positioning

The 3500/42M is a four channel industrial grade mechanical condition monitoring module launched by Bently Nevada, a brand under Baker Hughes. Its core is used for real-time monitoring and fault warning of vibration, position, and related parameters of rotating machinery such as motors, turbines, compressors, etc. By receiving input signals from proximity sensors and seismic sensors (such as speed sensors and acceleration sensors), adjusting and analyzing the signals, and comparing them with preset alarm thresholds, mechanical protection and status reporting can be achieved to meet the high reliability monitoring needs of industrial production, energy, maritime and other scenarios.

Core functions and configurations

1. Multi parameter monitoring capability

Support programming each channel through 3500 rack configuration software to achieve the following monitoring functions (channel paired programming, each pair can achieve 2 functions simultaneously):

Radial vibration, thrust position, differential expansion, eccentricity, velocity, acceleration, absolute shaft vibration, circular acceptance region, etc.

2. Alarm and delay settings

Alarm threshold: An "Alert" threshold can be configured for each active static value, and a "Danger" threshold can be configured for any two active static values. The threshold range is 0-100% full scale (limited by the sensor range), and the threshold accuracy is ± 0.13% of the target value.

Alarm delay:

Non axial absolute velocity and REBAM type: warning 1-60 seconds (1-second step), danger 0.1 seconds or 1-60 seconds (0.5-second step);

REBAM type: Both warning and danger are calculated with a minimum value of 400 seconds (warning with a 1-second step and danger with a 0.5-second step).
