Product Description
Product Details
Manufacturer: Bently Nevada
Series: 3500/50
Model/Part Number: 133388-02E
Model Type: Tachometer Module
Description
The 3500/50M Tachometer Module is a 2-channel module designed to monitor machinery speed and direction. It accepts input signals from proximity probes or magnetic pickups and provides accurate measurements of:
- Shaft rotative speed
- Rotor acceleration
- Rotor direction
The module compares these measurements to user-programmable alarm setpoints and generates alarms when setpoints are exceeded, ensuring reliable machinery protection.
Specifications
Inputs
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Signal Type | Up to two transducer signals from proximity probes or magnetic pickups. |
Outputs
| Front Panel LEDs | Function |
|---|---|
| OK LED | Indicates the module is functioning properly. |
| TX/RX LED | Flashes to indicate communication with other modules in the 3500 rack. |
| Bypass LED | Illuminates when the module is in bypass mode. |
Signal Conditioning
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Speed Input | Supports 1 to 255 events/revolution for rotor acceleration and zero speed. |
| Full-Scale Range | 0.0039 to 255 events/revolution; max 99,999 rpm. |
| Frequency Range | - Proximity Transducers: Min 0.0167 Hz (1 rpm for 1 event/revolution). - Passive Magnetic Pickups: Min 3.3 Hz. |
| Max Input Frequency | 20 kHz |
| Accuracy | - Less than 100 rpm = ±0.1 rpm. - 100 to 10,000 rpm = ±1 rpm. - 10,000 to 99,999 rpm = ±0.01% of true shaft speed. |
