Alarms and Protection: Supports two-level alarms (warning/danger),
adjustable alarm delay (1-60 seconds), peak hold function records the highest
speed/reverse speed, and user-resettable.
Expandability: Can integrate relay output modules (such as 3500/33) to
achieve equipment linkage control, supports external terminal options to
simplify wiring (such as rack/wall mounting).
Key Phase Signal Output: Provides key phase signals to the 3500 frame
backplane for use by other monitors, eliminating the need for an additional key
phase module.
Peak Hold Function: Records maximum speed, reversal speed, or number of
reversals; user reset supported.
Technical Specifications
Measurement Range: 0-20,000 RPM (some configurations support higher
ranges), accuracy ±0.01% FS, resolution 0.01 RPM, response time <10 ms,
compliant with API 670 standard.
Input Signal: Supports +10.0V to -24.0V pulse signals; input impedance 20kΩ
(standard)/40kΩ (TMR redundancy)/7.15kΩ (internal safety barrier).
Power Consumption and Protection: Typical power consumption 5.8W, operating
temperature -20℃ to +70℃, storage temperature -40℃ to +85℃, protection rating
IP65.
Output Interface: 4-20mA analog signal, RS485 digital signal, supports
Modbus communication. Application Scenarios
Industry Coverage: Widely used in power (steam turbines, generators),
petrochemicals (compressors, pumps), metallurgy (fans, coal mills), and aviation
(gas turbines) industries.
Typical Equipment: Monitors the speed, acceleration, and direction of
rotation in steam turbines, compressors, gearboxes, motors, and other rotating
machinery, preventing overspeed, reverse rotation, abnormal vibration, and other
faults.
Special Configurations: Supports triple redundancy (TMR) I/O modules,
suitable for high-reliability scenarios; a version with built-in safety barriers
is suitable for hazardous areas.
System Integration: Works in conjunction with other modules of the 3500
system (such as vibration monitors and displacement monitors) to build a
complete mechanical protection system, supporting communication with DCS/PLC via
Modbus, Ethernet, and other protocols.
Installation and Configuration
Hardware Installation: Requires insertion into the 3500 frame (full-size
19-inch or mini 12-inch), sharing a rack with power modules and interface
modules. Supports hot-swapping; a grounded wrist strap is required during
installation to prevent electrostatic discharge; use an IC removal tool for
operation.
Software Configuration: Alarm thresholds, monitoring modes, key phase
output, and other parameters can be set via the 3500 frame configuration
software. Firmware upgrades require replacing the IC with specialized tools and
reconfiguring the monitor.

Wiring Specifications: External terminal options allow field wiring to the
ET block (rack wall), connecting I/O modules via pre-fabricated cables to reduce
rack congestion; internal terminals connect directly to sensors, requiring
attention to the voltage range (+10V to -24V).
Frame Integration: Requires insertion into the 3500 monitoring frame. Four
monitoring modes are supported through the 3500 frame configuration
software:
Speed Monitoring + Speed Alarm
Speed Monitoring + Zero Speed Indication
Speed Monitoring + Acceleration Alarm
Speed Monitoring + Reverse Detection
I/O Module Options: Offers internal terminal, external terminal, TMR
redundancy, and built-in safety barrier versions, allowing users to select
according to wiring requirements.
Hot-Swap Support: Modules can be safely replaced while the system is
running, improving maintenance efficiency.

Functions: Supports speed monitoring + setpoint alarm + speed band
alarm/zero speed indication/rotor acceleration alarm; configurable to provide
key phase signal; peak hold function; hot-swappable.

high-reliability scenarios (such as hazardous areas).
Maintenance and Precautions
Daily Maintenance: Regularly check sensor signal quality, verify alarm
logic, and clean the module and terminals. Avoid electrostatic discharge damage;
ground before operation.
Troubleshooting: If the module has no output, check the power supply,
signal input range, and firmware version; for false alarm triggering, calibrate
the threshold or check the sensor installation.

Safety Specifications: Not for standalone overspeed protection or speed
control. Analog output is only for data logging/display. In non-redundant design
scenarios, it must be used in conjunction with other protection modules.
Summary: The Bently Nevada 3500/50 tachometer module, with its high
precision, multi-mode monitoring, and flexible configuration capabilities, has
become a key device for protecting industrial rotating equipment. Its deep
integration with the 3500 system, combined with strict installation and
maintenance specifications, ensures reliable operation under harsh conditions,
effectively preventing accidents caused by equipment failure and guaranteeing
