Bentley Nevada 125720-01 Vibration Monitoring Module
1. Product Description
The Bentley Nevada 125720-01 is a dual-channel vibration monitoring module designed for the 3500 Series machinery protection system. This compact, half-height module measures and analyzes vibration signals from rotating equipment, such as turbines and pumps, to detect imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear. By converting analog inputs into digital data, the 125720-01 provides real-time vibration amplitude and frequency analysis, ensuring proactive maintenance and minimizing downtime in industrial applications.

3. Advantages and Features
- Dual-Channel Efficiency: Monitors two vibration sources simultaneously, reducing rack space and wiring complexity.
- Wide Dynamic Range: Measures vibration amplitudes from 0.01 mm/s to 250 mm/s (peak) with ±0.1% accuracy.
- Fault Tolerance: Built-in diagnostics detect sensor or wiring failures, triggering alerts to prevent false readings.
- EMI/RFI Immunity: Shielded design ensures reliable performance in high-electromagnetic environments.
4. Application Areas and Case Studies
Industries:
- Power generation (steam/gas turbines)
- Oil and gas (pumps, compressors)
- Mining (conveyor systems, crushers)
Case Study:
A German power plant deployed the 125720-01 to monitor turbine vibrations. By identifying a developing bearing fault early, the plant avoided a $500,000 repair and extended equipment lifespan by 18 months.

5. Competitor Comparison
The 125720-01 stands out with:
- Higher Measurement Accuracy: ±0.1% compared to standard ±0.5% solutions.
- Integrated Signal Conditioning: Eliminates the need for external signal converters.
- Hot-Swap Capability: Modules can be replaced without powering down the system.
6. Selection Recommendations
- System Requirements: Ensure compatibility with the 3500/25 framework and sensor types (velocity/displacement).
- Environmental Conditions: Opt for IP66-rated enclosures for outdoor or corrosive settings.
- Redundancy Needs: Pair with additional modules for critical systems requiring 100% uptime.
7. Precautions
- Installation: Follow ESD protocols and secure wiring to prevent signal interference.
- Calibration: Calibrate sensors every 6 months using Bentley Nevada-approved tools.
- Software Updates: Regularly update firmware to access the latest diagnostic features.
