Functional Overview

This monitor applies adaptive processing to vibration signals and tracks machine condition continuously. Therefore, it adjusts filtering as operating speed and load change through the day. The 3701/55 also stores diagnostic data for later review by maintenance engineers. Meanwhile, its onboard energy storage preserves captured data during brief power interruptions.

Installation and Handling Notes

Always verify transducer gap voltages before connecting sensors to the 3701/55. In addition, check that channel assignments match your protection configuration. Tighten terminal screws evenly to prevent intermittent connections. Finally, test alarm and trip setpoints during commissioning.
