176449-06 is a Hydro Monitor Module Bently Nevada
Description
TheBently Nevada 3500/46M Hydro Monitoris afour-channel instrumentdesigned forhydroelectric applications. It conditions input signals from various sensors, such as proximity, seismic, and air gap sensors, to provide vitalvibrationandposition measurements. These signals are compared withuser-programmable alarms, enabling early detection of mechanical issues such asshear-pin failure,thrust bearing wear, androtor/stator concentricity changes. This monitor plays a crucial role in bothmachinery protectionandpredictive maintenance, specifically tailored for the unique needs of thehydroelectric industry. It supportsmultiple machine operating states, which allows fortailored alarm setpointsbased on different conditions, further enhancing reliability and reducing unplanned downtime.
