Bently Nevada 3500/45-01-00 Position Monitor

Precision Position Measurement for Critical Machinery Protection

The Bently Nevada 3500/45-01-00 functions as a high-precision position monitor within the 3500 series machinery protection system. This module accepts up to 4 proximity probe inputs for measuring radial and axial shaft positions. Its sturdy housing measures 241 mm in height, 38 mm in width, and 241 mm in depth, fitting standard 3500 rack configurations. The total weight reaches approximately 1.2 kg, offering robust construction for continuous monitoring applications.

Each channel provides 16-bit resolution for precise position measurement across the full operating range. The following table details the complete technical specifications for this position monitor:

Probe Input Configuration and Measurement Flexibility

The 3500/45-01-00 accepts both 5 mm and 8 mm proximity probes for versatile installation. Each channel measures radial shaft positions or axial thrust positions as needed. The module supports both standard and extended measurement ranges for different machinery types. Engineers can therefore configure this monitor for various rotating equipment applications.

Measurement Accuracy and Signal Processing

Each channel delivers 16-bit resolution with ±0.5% full-scale accuracy for reliable position data. The module provides a frequency response from DC to 100 Hz for steady-state and slow dynamic measurements. This range covers typical shaft position variations in turbines and compressors. Users benefit from trustworthy position data for condition monitoring.

System Integration and Alarm Functionality

The module interfaces with the 3500 rack backplane for seamless system integration. It provides programmable alarms for high and low position limits. The monitor also supports relay outputs for external alarm annunciation. Maintenance teams can therefore implement comprehensive protection strategies for critical assets.
