3500/42M Proximitor*/Seismic Monitor

Product Datasheet
Bently Nevada* Asset Condition Monitoring

Description
The 3500/42M Proximitor*/Seismic Monitor is a four-channel
monitor that accepts input from proximity and seismic
transducers, conditions the signal to provide various vibrations
and position measurements, and compares the conditioned
signals with user-programmable alarms.
You can program each channel using the 3500 Rack
Configuration Software to perform the following functions:
n Radial vibration
n Thrust position
n Differential expansion
n Eccentricity
n REBAM
n Acceleration
n Velocity
n Shaft absolute
n Circular acceptance region

The monitor channels are programmed in pairs and can perform up to

two of the listed functions at a time. For example, Channels 1 and 2 can
perform one function while channels 3 and 4 perform another or the
same function.

The primary purpose of the 3500/42M Proximitor*/Seismic

Monitor is to provide the following:
n Machinery protection by continuously comparing monitored
parameters against configured alarm setpoints to drive alarms

n Essential machine information for both operations and maintenance

personnel

Each channel, depending on configuration, typically conditions

its input signal to generate various parameters called static
values. You can configure alert setpoints for each active static
value and danger setpoints for any two of the active static
values.

REBAM Channels
The following graphs show the maximum machine speed allowed for a monitor channel pair configured
for REBAM. The maximum speed depends on the number of rolling elements in the bearing.
The graphs are generated with the following assumptions:
n The rotor lowpass filter corner is set at 3.2 times the shaft speed.
n The spike highpass filter corner is set at four times the element pass frequency for the outer race (BPFO).

Figure 1: Both channels of the channel pair are enabled.
