Product Description
Product Details
- Manufacturer: Bently Nevada
- Series: 3500/50
- Model/Part Number: 286566-02P
- Model Type: Tachometer Module
Function
The 3500/50 Tachometer Module is a two-channel module designed for reliable machinery monitoring by measuring:
- Shaft Speed: Tracks the rotative speed of the shaft.
- Acceleration: Monitors rotor acceleration.
- Direction: Detects rotor direction.
The module processes signals from proximity probes or magnetic pickups and compares the results to user-defined alarm thresholds. Alarms are triggered when thresholds are exceeded, ensuring effective machinery protection and operational safety.
Specifications
Inputs
- Signal Type: Accepts up to two transducer signals from proximity probes or magnetic pickups.
Outputs
-
Front Panel LEDs:
- OK LED: Indicates proper module functioning.
- TX/RX LED: Flashes to indicate communication with other modules in the rack.
- Bypass LED: Illuminates when the module is in bypass mode.
Signal Conditioning
- Speed Input: Supports 1 to 255 events per revolution for rotor acceleration and zero speed.
- Full-Scale Range: 0.0039 to 255 events/revolution; maximum 99,999 rpm.
-
Frequency Range:
