Overview
The Bently Nevada 3500/45-01-00 Position Monitor delivers precise machinery position monitoring with four input channels. It accepts signals from proximity transducers, rotary position transducers (RPTs), DC LVDTs, AC LVDTs, and rotary potentiometers. The monitor continuously conditions and evaluates these signals, triggering alarms based on user-programmed thresholds.
Primary Purpose
The 3500/45 Position Monitor ensures both machine protection and operational insight:
- Continuously compares monitored parameters against configured alarm setpoints to safeguard equipment.
- Provides essential position information for operations and maintenance personnel.
Front Panel Indicators
- OK LED: Confirms proper operation of the monitor.
- TX/RX LED: Shows active communication with other modules in the 3500 rack.
- Bypass LED: Illuminates when the monitor enters Bypass Mode.
