Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 140072-04 3500/45 Position Monitor is a four-channel module engineered for precise monitoring of machinery position and displacement. It supports a wide range of sensor types, including non-contact proximity probes, rotary position transducers (RPTs), and LVDTs (both AC and DC).
Moreover, each channel can be independently configured for various functions such as axial position, differential expansion, case expansion, or valve position monitoring. This flexibility allows the 3500/45 to provide detailed insights into machine condition and performance for predictive maintenance systems.
Functional Highlights
- Flexible Input Compatibility: Supports proximity probes, LVDTs, RPTs, and rotary potentiometers.
- Multi-Function Configuration: Each channel can monitor a unique position-related parameter.
- Advanced Alarm Processing: User-programmable alarm setpoints ensure rapid fault detection.
- Paired Channel Operation: Channels can be combined for simultaneous monitoring modes.
- Status Indication: OK, TX/RX, and Bypass LEDs provide at-a-glance operational feedback.
In addition, the module conditions input signals and transmits both buffered and recorder outputs, ensuring accurate integration with plant-wide monitoring systems.
