Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 3500/25 128718-01 Keyphasor® External Terminal Module (ETM) is an essential component of the 3500 Machinery Protection System, providing reliable, precise shaft rotational speed and phase reference signals. These signals are critical for performing vibration phase analysis, synchronous machine startup and shutdown diagnostics, and rotor position monitoring.
The 3500/25 Keyphasor® Module converts proximity probe signals from rotating shafts into accurate Keyphasor® pulses, which the system uses for speed measurement, phase referencing, and advanced vibration diagnostics. The 128718-01 ETM version is designed for external terminal connections, simplifying wiring and improving accessibility during installation or maintenance.
The module supports configurations for one or two independent Keyphasor® channels, making it suitable for single-shaft or dual-shaft machinery applications.
