Our 3500/50M Tachometer Module features 2 channels which accept input from Proximitor probes or magnetic pickups to measure shaft rotating speed, rotor acceleration, or reverse rotation. The 3500/50M Tachometer conditions the inputs and compares the conditioned signals with user-programmable set points that can drive alarms and relay logic in the 3500 relay modules. Alarm options offered with 3500 Rack Configuration software include Speed Band, Zero Speed, Rotor Acceleration and Reverse Rotation. The Keyphasor and speed measurements are also an integral part of the Bently Nevada Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) suite of sensors for steam turbines. The 3500 System is available as a SIL 2 rated system and with multiple Hazardous Area and country-specific approvals available. External terminations and internal barrier versions are also available. You should note that the 3500/50M is not designed for Overspeed Detection.
Our 3500/46M Hydro Monitor is specifically designed to protect and monitor hydro turbine generators. The 3500/46M Processes signals from Proximitors, seismic, dynamic pressure, and air gap sensors. Discreet Input contacts can identify machinery modes such as Rough Load Zone and automate data acquisition and alarms. External terminations are also available. The 3500/46M Hydro Monitor also conditions input and compares signals with alarm setpoints for Hydro Radial Vibration (RV), Hydro Air Gap, Hydro Velocity, Hydro Acceleration, Hydro Thrust, Hydro Stator End Winding (SEW) Vibration; and Dynamic Pressure. Multimode settings are available for all available channel types.
The 3500/45 Position Monitor processes signals from the Bently Nevada 3300XL series of Proximitor transducers, Rotary Position Transducers (RPTs), and AC and DC Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs). The 3500/45 conditions the input and compares the conditioned signals with user-programmable alarms for Axial (thrust) Position, Differential Expansion (single ramp, dual ramp, or complementary), Case Expansion, and Valve Position. These key measurements are an integral part of the Bently Nevada Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) suite of sensors for steam turbines.
The six-channel 3500/60 (without recorders) processes the signals from RTDs (resistance temperature detectors) and TCs (thermocouples). The 3500/60 is capable of monitoring temperature or temperature differentials and is typically used for radial bearing or thrust bearing metal temperature in accordance with API670, but can also be used for key process temperatures such as compressor suction and discharge temperatures, steam temperature, motor stator temperatures, among others. The 3500/60 conditions the inputs and compares the conditioned signals with user-programmable setpoints that can drive alarms and relay logic in the 3500 relay modules. External terminations and internal barrier versions are also available. The 3500/60 and 3500/61 provide identical functionality, with the 3500/61 offering additional 4-20mA recorder outputs for each of its six channels. The TC-isolated version provides 250 Vdc of channel-to-channel isolation that is sometimes required for use with high speed mag pickup applications. The 3500 System is available as a SIL 2 rated system and with multiple Hazardous Area and country-specific approvals available.
Our six-channel 3500/61 (with recorders) processes the signals from RTDs (resistance temperature detectors) and TCs (thermocouples).

The 3500/61 conditions the inputs and compares the conditioned signals with user-programmable setpoints that can drive alarms and relay logic in the 3500 relay modules. External terminations and internal barrier versions are also available. The 3500/60 and 3500/61 provide identical functionality, with the 3500/61 offering additional 4-20mA recorder outputs for each of its six channels while the 3500/60 does not. The TC-isolated version provides 250 Vdc of channel-to-channel isolation that is sometimes required for use with high speed mag pickup applications. The 3500 System is available as a SIL 2 rated system and with multiple Hazardous Area and country-specific approvals available.
Our six-channel 3500/62 Process Variable Monitor accepts transmitter 4 to 20 mA current inputs or -10 Vdc to +10 Vdc voltage sensor inputs, and then conditions the input and compares the conditioned signals with user-programmable alarm setpoints that can drive alarms and relay logic in the 3500 relay modules. The 3500/62 can also be used for key process measurements such as fluid pressure, compressor suction and discharge pressures, steam pressure, motor current, flow, Megawatts and virtually any other process variable that can then be correlated via vibration. The 3500 System is available as a SIL 2 rated system and with multiple Hazardous Area and country-specific approvals available.
The four-channel 3500/64 Dynamic Pressure Monitor accepts input from gas turbine dynamic pressure (combustion) transducers and uses this input to drive alarms. The monitor produces band-passed dynamic pressure measured variables. Programmable corner frequencies for the bandpass filter and an additional notch filter can be adjusted as needed. A typical application identifies and tracks gas turbine combustor instabilities. Dynamic Pressure sensors use Bently Nevada charge amplifiers 350500 or 86517 and can integrate a multitude of common dynamic pressure sensors, including the CP series sensors. Additionally, the 3500/64 is available with multiple Hazardous Area and country-specific approvals to tackle any environment.
Our 4-channel 3500/72 Recip Rod Position Monitor processes signals from Bently Nevada Proximitor transducers to create measurements optimized for piston rod position monitoring. Provides vital insight into the condition of reciprocating compressors. Additionally, each channel can be programmed to perform rod position measurement, rod drop measurement and hyper-compressor measurement. The 3500 System is available as a SIL 2 rated system and with multiple Hazardous Area and country-specific approvals available.
3500/92 Communication Gateway integrates easily with process control networks and other automation systems using both Ethernet TCP/IP and serial (RS232 / RS422 / RS485) communications capabilities. Permits communications via Modbus using 3500 Rack Configuration Software. The 3500/92 can be configured using the 3500 Rack Configuration software to produce a custom or condensed Modbus map for communications using fixed or configurable registers. All vital rack information including direct vibration, gap, 1X, 2X, Smax, channel statuses, rack status, trip multiply, rack reset, and others can be easily communicated.
3500 Galvanic Isolators - For machinery protection and condition monitoring in a hazardous area with a potentially flammable atmosphere, 3500 Galvanic Isolators provide Intrinsically Safe (IS) interfaces to Bently Nevada transducers. The Isolators come with a safe installation and a safe interface. They also offer accessories such as earth rails and backplanes.
Bently Nevada Cabinets provide robust protection for all 3500 racks and the infrastructure they require. The cabinets simplify site installation, provide protection for installed instrumentation and facilitate ongoing ease-of-use and maintenance and include instrumentation options.
The 3500/06 Weatherproof Housing protects the 3500 System against adverse environmental conditions such as excessive moisture, dirt, grime and unclean air. An optional purging system protects the rack from outside elements. The housing is available in epoxy-coated steel or 304 stainless steel and as a SIL 2 rated system with multiple Hazardous Area and country-specific approvals.
The 3500/15 AC and DC Power Supplies are half-height modules and must be installed in designated slots on the left side of the rack. The 3500 rack can contain one or two power supplies with any combinations of AC and DC. Either supply can power a full rack.
