The GE / Bently Nevada 3500/62 Series Process Variable Monitors are 6-channel monitors for processing machine critical parameters (pressures, flows, temperatures, levels, etc.) that merit continuous monitoring. The monitor accepts +4 to +20 mA current inputs or any proportional voltage inputs between -10 Vdc and +10 Vdc. It conditions these signals and compares the conditioned signals to user-programmable alarm setpoints.
The user can program the 3500/62 using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software to perform either current or voltage measurements. The 3500/62 offers I/O modules for 3 signal input scenarios: +/-10 Volts DC, isolated 4-20mA, or 4-20 mA with Intrinsically Safe zener barriers. The Internal Barrier I/O provides external power input terminals to provide intrinsically safe power to the 4-20mA transducers.
The primary purposes of the 3500/62 monitor are to continuously compare monitored parameters against configured alarm setpoints to drive alarms for machinery protection, and provide essential machine information for both operations and maintenance personnel.
