Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 3500/25 149369-01 Enhanced Keyphasor Module is an advanced phase reference component within the Bently Nevada 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. This module plays a critical role in determining the precise angular position of a rotating shaft by generating a Keyphasor signal—a TTL pulse used for synchronous signal processing in vibration diagnostics.
What sets the 149369-01 version apart is that it acts as the Isolated I/O Module for the 3500/25 Enhanced Keyphasor system. Its purpose is to deliver clean, isolated Keyphasor signals from proximity probes or magnetic pickups to the front-end 3500/25 module. By providing electrical isolation, it reduces the effects of ground loops and electromagnetic interference (EMI), improving reliability in electrically noisy industrial environments.
The 3500/25 149369-01 module is ideal for use in turbines, compressors, motors, and other high-speed machinery where precise phase reference data is required for diagnostics such as Bode plots, orbit plots, and balancing analysis.
