Description
1. Product Description
The Bentley Nevada 135489-01 is a four-channel proximitor seismic monitor designed for the 3500 Mechanical Health Monitoring System, combining vibration analysis and motion control capabilities. It interfaces with proximity and seismic transducers to provide real-time measurements of machinery health, including vibration amplitude, axial position, and eccentricity. The module features intrinsic safety barriers for hazardous environments (e.g., ATEX/IECEx certified) and supports seamless integration with Bentley’s System 1 software for predictive maintenance. Its compact design and advanced signal conditioning make it ideal for rotating equipment in critical industries.
