Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 133388-02 3500/50 Tachometer Module continuously measures shaft speed, rotor acceleration, and direction. Moreover, it compares these measurements against user-defined alarm setpoints. In addition, the module generates alarms if any thresholds are exceeded, enabling proactive machinery monitoring. This module supports four configurable operational modes for different monitoring requirements.
Key Functional Highlights
- Configurable Monitoring Options: Includes Speed Monitoring, Setpoint Alarming, Rotor Acceleration Alarming, Reverse Rotation Notification, and Zero Speed Notification.
- Keyphasor Signal Output: Provides conditioned Keyphasor® signals directly to the 3500 backplane, therefore eliminating separate modules.
- Peak Hold Feature: Furthermore, it stores highest speed, highest reverse speed, or reverse rotation counts for user analysis. Values can be reset by operators.
- Application Limitation: Not designed for speed control or overspeed protection systems. For instance, magnetic pickups are unsuitable for reverse rotation monitoring due to low-speed limitations.
