Bently Nevada 3500/42M-01 Proximitor Seismic Monitor

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 3500/42M-01 Proximitor/Seismic Monitor is an integral component of the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System, specifically engineered to monitor critical dynamic and position parameters in rotating and reciprocating machinery. It offers up to four independent channels that can be individually configured to process input from proximity transducers or seismic transducers.

The 3500/42M-01 is ideal for applications requiring advanced vibration analysis, axial thrust monitoring, rod position detection, and casing vibration tracking. With its modular design and seamless integration into the 3500 system rack, this monitor delivers real-time condition data and supports plant-wide reliability programs with the highest standards of industrial protection.

Its configuration flexibility, wide compatibility with Bently Nevada sensors, and industry-standard alarm capabilities make it one of the most deployed monitoring modules for turbomachinery and process-critical rotating equipment across oil & gas, power generation, and heavy industry.

Product Applications

The 3500/42M-01 is purpose-built for machinery protection in industries where vibration, thrust, and position measurements are vital to operational integrity. Key application areas include:

  • Steam & Gas Turbines
    Monitors vibration and shaft position to prevent critical failure.

  • Compressors (Centrifugal & Reciprocating)
    Detects mechanical imbalance, rotor instability, and piston rod drop.

  • Industrial Pumps
    Tracks excessive vibration or shaft movement caused by wear or cavitation.

  • Electric Motors & Generators
    Ensures bearing health and balanced rotor operation through dynamic signal analysis.

  • Petrochemical Plants
    Used for machinery interlock logic and predictive maintenance.

  • Nuclear & Fossil Power Plants
    Provides early fault detection for mission-critical rotating equipment.


Product Advantages

  • Dual Function Monitoring
    Capable of simultaneously monitoring both proximity and seismic sensors across four channels.

  • Flexible Channel Configuration
    Each channel can be independently configured for a wide variety of measurements.

  • Wide Sensor Compatibility
    Fully compatible with Bently Nevada’s trusted 3300 XL and 7200 series probes, as well as velocity and acceleration transducers.

  • Dynamic Buffered Outputs
    Includes buffered BNC outputs for dynamic signal analysis with portable equipment.

  • Field Proven Performance
    Used globally in critical applications for over two decades with proven reliability.

  • Redundant Safety and Voting Logic
    Supports redundancy and advanced alarm logic when integrated with relay and keyphasor modules.

  • Hot-Swappable Architecture
    Allows removal and replacement without system shutdown, improving uptime and maintainability.

  • Intelligent Diagnostics
    Reports sensor integrity, connection faults, and configuration status through the TDI and software interface.
