Description
1. Product Description
The Bentley Nevada 135489-04 is a high-reliability proximitor I/O module designed for the 3500 Mechanical Health Monitoring System, specializing in real-time vibration and position monitoring of rotating machinery. With 4 input channels, it interfaces with proximity transducers to convert raw signals into conditioned voltage outputs for analysis. The module features internal barriers and terminations, eliminating the need for external safety components and simplifying installation in hazardous environments. It supports intrinsic safety certifications (e.g., ATEX, IECEx), ensuring compliance with global standards for explosive atmospheres.
