⚡ Functional Description
The 135489-01 provides the physical interface between compatible Bently Nevada transducers and the 3500 monitoring system. The four channels are configured for Proximity/Acceleration applications, allowing the system to acquire vibration and displacement-related signals for machinery protection.
The internal barriers are particularly useful where the monitoring system interfaces with equipment installed in hazardous or classified areas. The internal termination arrangement also avoids the need for a separate external termination block in the corresponding configuration.
