Description
BENTLY NEVADA 140734-01 Proximitor Monitor
1. Product Description
The BENTLY NEVADA 140734-01 is a 4-channel proximity monitor module designed for the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. It processes vibration and position signals from proximity probes, eddy current sensors, and accelerometers to provide real-time condition monitoring for rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, and pumps. With high-precision signal conditioning and dynamic range adjustment, this module ensures accurate detection of imbalances, misalignments, or bearing wear, enabling predictive maintenance and minimizing downtime.

5. Competitor Comparison
The 140734-01 offers:
- Higher Channel Density: 4 channels vs. 2–3 channels in comparable modules.
- Extended Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C vs. typical -20°C to +70°C.
- Built-in Signal Conditioning: Reduces external hardware requirements for cost-effective integration.
6. Selection Recommendations
- System Requirements: Ensure compatibility with 3500 Series racks and software (e.g., System 1).
- Environmental Factors: Choose based on temperature extremes (e.g., -40°C for outdoor installations).
- Data Resolution: Opt for higher sampling rates (20 kHz) for high-speed machinery.
7. Precautions
- Sensor Calibration: Regularly verify probe alignment and linearity for accurate measurements.
- EMI Protection: Shield cables and follow grounding guidelines to prevent interference.
- Firmware Updates: Keep software current to access new features and bug fixes.
