Product Overview
3500/45-05-00 is a Position Monitor from Bently Nevada. It belongs to the 3500 series. This module accepts AC LVDT inputs with internal terminations. It monitors thrust, differential expansion, case expansion, and valve position. The monitor provides accurate, reliable data for rotating machinery protection.
This monitor uses a 3400 Hz sine wave transducer power supply. It offers recorder outputs (+4 to +20 mA) proportional to full-scale values. The module operates in harsh environments from -30°C to +65°C. It is a key component for predictive maintenance and machine protection.
