BENTLY NEVADA 3500/45-01-00 Position Monitor
1. Product Description
The BENTLY NEVADA 3500/45-01-00 is a 4-channel position monitor designed for rotating machinery, providing continuous monitoring of axial (thrust) position, differential expansion, and other critical parameters. It supports inputs from proximity sensors, rotary position transducers (RPTs), and linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs), enabling versatile applications in power plants, manufacturing, and oil & gas industries. The monitor features advanced signal conditioning, user-programmable alarms, and modular integration with BENTLY’s 3500 Series rack systems. Its compact design and rugged construction ensure reliable performance in harsh environments, while real-time data analysis helps prevent equipment failures.

6. Selection Recommendations
- Monitoring Complexity: Choose the 3500/45-01-00 for multi-parameter applications; opt for BENTLY’s 3500/42M for single-channel vibration monitoring.
- Environment: Ensure compatibility with ambient temperatures and humidity levels.
- Scalability: Pair with BENTLY’s System 1 software for enterprise-wide asset management.
7. Precautions
- Sensor Alignment: Properly align proximity sensors to avoid measurement errors.
- Channel Pairing: Configure channels in pairs (e.g., Channels 1+2 for axial position, 3+4 for differential expansion).
- Safety Barriers: Use external barriers for hazardous areas if internal options are not selected.
