Bently Nevada 3500/70M 176449-09 Recip Impulse/Velocity Monitor

The Bently Nevada 3500/70M 176449-09 is a Reciprocating Impulse/Velocity Monitor module within the 3500 Series machinery protection platform.

This module is specifically developed for reciprocating machinery applications such as compressors and engines. It accepts input signals from seismic sensors, performs signal conditioning, calculates vibration parameters, and evaluates machine condition against user-defined alarm settings.

The monitor supports multiple measurement functions, including:

  • Reciprocating velocity monitoring

  • Low-frequency reciprocating velocity monitoring

  • Impulse acceleration monitoring

  • Acceleration measurement

The 3500/70M can process sensor signals through internal filtering, amplification, and signal analysis functions to provide reliable vibration information for predictive maintenance and machinery protection systems.
