Description
BENTLEY NEVADA 85515-02 Vibration Monitoring Module
The BENTLEY NEVADA 85515-02 is a high-performance vibration monitoring module designed for industrial machinery health management systems. Part of the Bentley Nevada 3500 Series, this module provides real-time vibration analysis and fault detection for rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, and pumps. It interfaces with accelerometers or proximity probes to convert raw signals into actionable data, enabling predictive maintenance and reducing unplanned downtime.
1. Product Description
The 85515-02 is a single-channel, rack-mountable module that supports both velocity and acceleration measurements. It features advanced signal conditioning and filtering capabilities to eliminate noise and ensure accurate readings in harsh environments. With programmable alarm thresholds and 4-20 mA analog outputs, it integrates seamlessly with control systems for automated response to 异常 conditions. The module is backward compatible with legacy 3500 Series racks, making it an ideal upgrade for existing installations.
