Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 3500/33-02-00 16-Channel Relay Module is a relay output module designed for use within the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. It provides multiple configurable relay outputs that allow monitored machinery conditions to be translated into discrete control or shutdown actions.
This module acts as an interface between the monitoring system and external protection or control circuits. By processing alarm and trip signals generated by the 3500 monitoring modules, the relay module enables automatic machinery protection, system interlocking, and alarm annunciation.
The 3500/33-02-00 supports up to 16 independent relay channels, allowing flexible configuration for alarm levels, trip logic, and system response strategies. Its design ensures reliable signal execution in critical rotating machinery protection applications where deterministic response is required.
