Bently Nevada 105M6001-01 Positive Input (POV) Module

Product Description

The 105M6001-01 is a Positive Input (POV) module for the Bently Nevada 3500 Series, designed to integrate positive-voltage sensors into the standard 3500 machinery protection rack. It converts positive sensor signals into a format compatible with 3500 monitors, enabling real-time protection, alarming, and System 1 diagnostics.

Built to industrial standards, this module ensures reliable operation in oil & gas, power generation, and heavy manufacturing environments, supporting integration of third-party or legacy sensors.

Technical FAQ

• Why is a POV module necessary?
  Standard 3500 monitors expect negative-voltage inputs. The POV module converts positive signals, preventing “Invalid Signal” or errors.

• Can it power positive-voltage sensors?
  Yes, in many configurations, it supplies regulated positive DC power to the field sensor.
