Description
1. Product Description
The Bentley Nevada 135473-01 is a dual-channel proximitor module designed for the 3500 Mechanical Health Monitoring System, delivering precise vibration and motion analysis for rotating machinery. It interfaces with proximity probes and seismic sensors to measure critical parameters like shaft displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Built for harsh environments, the module features intrinsic safety certification (ATEX/IECEx) and supports real-time data integration with Bentley’s System 1 software for predictive maintenance. Its compact design and advanced signal processing make it ideal for applications requiring high reliability and space efficiency.

5. Competitor Comparison
Compared to similar I/O modules:
- Space-Saving: Dual-channel capacity in a smaller form factor (16 cm vs. 20 cm competitors).
- Temperature Range: Operates in extreme conditions (-40°C vs. typical -20°C).
- Safety Integration: Native intrinsic safety reduces installation complexity and costs.
6. Selection Recommendations
- Channel Requirements: Opt for this model if monitoring up to two machinery points; choose 4-channel modules for higher needs.
- Environment: Select for hazardous areas requiring ATEX/IECEx certification.
- System Compatibility: Ensure integration with Bentley’s 3500 rack and System 1 software for comprehensive analytics.
7. Precautions
- Installation: Follow Bentley’s guidelines for proper grounding and cable routing to prevent electromagnetic interference.
- Calibration: Regularly verify sensor alignment and update firmware for optimal accuracy.
- Safety Compliance: Confirm local regulations before deployment in hazardous zones.
