Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 3500/42-09-02 Proximitor Seismic Monitor is a dual-channel monitoring module engineered for vibration and seismic data acquisition in the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. It is designed to receive input from proximity probes and seismic transducers, converting these raw sensor signals into actionable data for protection and monitoring of critical rotating equipment.
Associated with part numbers 140734-02 (monitor module) and 140471-01 (I/O module), the 3500/42-09-02 provides buffered outputs, alert and danger setpoints, and 4–20 mA current loop integration. It is a critical solution for industries where equipment reliability, predictive maintenance, and real-time diagnostics are essential. This module supports highly accurate detection of vibration and displacement anomalies, enabling proactive responses that help prevent unplanned downtime and expensive repairs.
