Product Description
Product Overview
- Manufacturer: Bently Nevada
- Series: 3500/42M
- Model/Part Number: 176449-02
- Type: Proximitor Seismic Monitor
-
Function:
- The 3500/42M Proximitor Seismic Monitor is a four-channel monitor designed for machinery protection by comparing vibration and position parameters against user-configured alarm setpoints.
- It accepts input from proximity and seismic transducers, conditions the signals for vibration and position measurements, and communicates essential machine data to operations and maintenance personnel.
