The Bently Nevada 3500/45 176449-04 is a four-channel Position Monitor module, an integral part of the 3500 Machinery Protection System. It is designed to accept inputs from proximity transducers, Rotary Position Transducers (RPTs), and both AC and DC Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs). The module conditions these signals to provide precise measurements for various position parameters such as axial (thrust) position, differential expansion, and valve position. By continuously comparing these measurements against user-programmable alarm setpoints, the 3500/45 provides essential machinery protection for critical rotating equipment like turbines and compressors.
