Bently Nevada 3500/72M 176449-08 Rod Position Monitor
Description:
The 3500/72M Rod Position Monitor is a 4-channel monitor that accepts input from our proximity transducers, conditions the signal to make various dynamic and static position measurements, and compares the conditioned signals with user-programmable alarms. The 3500 Rack Configuration software can program each channel of the 3500/72M to perform any of the following functions:
• Rod Position Measurement
• Rod Drop Measurement
• Hyper-Compressor Measurement
The primary purpose of the 3500/72M monitor is to provide:
1. Machinery protection for reciprocating compressors by continuously comparing monitored parameters against configured alarm setpoints to drive alarms.
2. Essential reciprocating compressor machine information for both operations and maintenance personnel. Depending on configuration, each channel typically conditions its input signal into various parameters called “proportional values”. Users can configure Alert
setpoints for each active proportional value and Danger setpoints for any two of the active proportional values.
