Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 3500/42M Proximitor Seismic Monitor is a 4-channel monitoring module designed for high-performance machinery protection and condition monitoring. Compatible with both proximity and seismic sensors, it provides real-time measurements of vibration, position, acceleration, and shaft behavior.
Applications
-
Critical rotating equipment (turbines, compressors, motors)
-
Predictive maintenance systems
-
High-speed machinery requiring real-time vibration diagnostics
-
Industrial process environments (oil & gas, power generation, petrochemical)
Key Advantages
-
Simultaneous processing of proximity and seismic signals
-
User-configurable channel pairing with dual-function monitoring
-
High accuracy across a broad frequency range (3 Hz to 30 kHz)
-
Built-in alarming and recorder outputs for control system integration
-
Certified for use in hazardous areas (Class I, Div 2 / ATEX Zone 2)
