Key Features
External Termination Design
The module uses external termination blocks, allowing field wiring to remain in place during maintenance or replacement, reducing downtime. External termination blocks must be ordered separately.
Multiple Transducer Support
Compatible with:
-
Proximitor® Sensors
-
Rotary Position Transducers (RPTs)
-
DC LVDTs
This flexibility allows one monitor platform to support a variety of position measurements.
Four-Channel Position Monitoring
The 3500/45 Position Monitor accepts up to four inputs and can be configured to monitor:
-
Axial (thrust) position
-
Differential expansion
-
Case expansion
-
Valve position
-
Other supported position measurements
Channels are programmed in pairs using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software.
Reliable Machinery Protection
The module conditions incoming transducer signals and enables the Position Monitor to compare measured values against user-defined alarm setpoints, supporting continuous machinery protection.
