Optimized Four-Channel Rotational Reference for Hazardous Area Applications
The Bently Nevada 3500/25-02-01-02 Enhanced Keyphasor Module is an advanced rotational reference solution engineered for the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. This configuration consists of two half-height, two-channel Enhanced Keyphasor modules, delivering a total of four Keyphasor input channels for sophisticated rotating machinery protection systems. The module processes signals from proximity probes or magnetic pickup transducers, converting them into precise digital Keyphasor signals used for shaft speed measurement, phase reference, and synchronized vibration analysis.
The 02-01-02 configuration combines non-isolated I/O modules with internal terminations and ATEX / IECEx / CSA (Class I, Zone 2) certification, making it an ideal solution for international hazardous-area installations. With enhanced signal processing, field-upgradable firmware, and full compatibility with legacy 3500 systems, this module helps maximize machinery reliability while supporting predictive maintenance strategies.
