Bently Nevada 200200-03-03-05 3500/40M Proximitor Monitor

Product Description

The 200200-03-03-05 is a high-performance vibration and condition monitoring module from the Bently Nevada 3500/40M series. This four-channel Proximitor Monitor continuously monitors shaft position and vibration in critical rotating machinery. As a Condition Monitoring module, it provides:

1. Continuous protection by comparing monitored parameters against set alarms.

2. Diagnostic data for predictive maintenance, supporting proactive machinery management.

This configuration includes internal intrinsic safety barriers, enabling direct connection to transducers located in hazardous areas (e.g., explosive gas atmospheres) without the need for external barriers. The 200200-03-03-05 is part of the "M" (Monitor) family, offering enhanced data collection and full compatibility with Bently Nevada System 1 software for advanced machinery health analysis.

Application Scenarios

The 200200-03-03-05 is widely used on:

• High-speed turbines

• Centrifugal compressors

• Large industrial motors

It monitors radial vibration (shaft dynamic motion), axial position (thrust), and eccentricity. Its internal barrier design makes it ideal for oil and gas refineries and offshore platforms, where transducers are frequently installed in Zone 0 or Zone 1 hazardous environments.

Technical FAQ

Q: What does the "M" signify in the 3500/40M series?
A: The "M" stands for Monitor. Compared to legacy non-M versions, the 3500/40M provides improved signal processing and deeper integration with condition monitoring software like System 1, enabling detailed waveform analysis and trend reporting.

Q: Can I use this module if my sensors are not in a hazardous area?
A: Yes. The internal barriers provide protection for hazardous areas but do not negatively affect signal quality in non-hazardous zones. Proper grounding requirements for internal barriers must still be observed.
