The Bently Nevada 3500/50M (Order Code 286566-02) is a 2-channel tachometer module designed for the 3500 Machinery Protection System. It is engineered to monitor shaft rotative speed, rotor acceleration, and rotor direction by processing inputs from proximity probes or magnetic pickups. The module compares these inputs against user-programmable alarm setpoints to provide critical machinery protection and predictive maintenance data.
The 3500/50M can be configured to supply conditioned Keyphasor signals to the 3500 rack backplane, eliminating the need for a separate Keyphasor module in many configurations. It also features a peak hold function to record extreme speed or reverse rotation events.

It is a 2-channel module for the 3500 system used to monitor shaft speed, rotor acceleration, and reverse rotation, triggering alarms based on user-defined setpoints.
The module accepts inputs from 1 to 2 proximity transducers or magnetic pickups.
No. The 3500/50M is not designed for independent overspeed protection or speed control as it lacks the required protective redundancy.
It supports Speed Monitoring (with setpoint/speed band alarms), Zero Speed Notification, Rotor Acceleration Alarming, and Reverse Rotation Notification.
