Bently Nevada Machinery Condition Monitoring
Description
The 3500/44M Aeroderivitive GT Vibration Monitor is a fourchannel instrument designed for aeroderivative gas turbine
applications. It:
l Continuously monitors machinery by comparing
monitored parameters against configured alarm
setpoints to drive alarms
l Communicates essential machine information for both
operations and maintenance personnel
The 3500/44M 's Aero GT I/O modules interface to Velomitor
sensors and accelerometers through Bently Nevada interface
modules. The monitor uses the Prox/Velom I/O to interface to
our .
Using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software, you can
configure the 3500/44M Aeroderivitive GT Vibration Monitor for
the following filter options:
l Signal Integration
l 1X vibration tracking
l Band-pass vibration
143441 Rev. R
The 3500/44M Aeroderivitive GT Vibration Monitor accepts
input from two separate Keyphasor signals, allowing each
channel pair to use a different tracking filter.
You can configure multimode channels to have up to eight
sets of alarm parameters including alert and danger
setpoints and alarm time delays. Each set may be configured
for a specific machine mode.
As the machine changes modes, the monitor can switch to a
specific set using contacts on multimode I/O modules or
software commands through a communications gateway.
