PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 3500/32 Relay Module provides machinery protection within the 3500 Series machinery condition monitoring system. This full-height module supplies four programmable relay outputs. Each channel provides independent control logic to drive safety shutdowns and remote annunciation. Multiple relay modules install in any rack position to the right of the Rack Interface Module.
Integrated Alarm Drive Logic uses programmable AND and OR gates to evaluate monitor channel alarms. Configuration takes place within the 3500 Rack Configuration Software. The module draws a typical power consumption of 6 watts during operation. Single-pole double-throw relays incorporate epoxy environmental sealing and onboard arc suppression for operational integrity.
