Product Description

Overview

The Bently Nevada 172323-01 is a precision-engineered I/O module designed for the 3500/42M Proximitor Seismic Monitor. It provides a direct interface between field sensors—such as Proximitor probes, accelerometers, and velocity transducers—and the monitor’s processing electronics. This “half-height” rear-mount module features integrated screw terminal blocks for straightforward field wiring without the need for external termination panels.

Ideal for vibration, thrust, or seismic monitoring applications, this module ensures high fidelity signal transmission while supplying regulated sensor power for reliable measurement across multiple critical machinery applications.

Technical Specifications

• Versatile Monitoring: Supports radial, axial, and seismic vibration measurements.

• Maintenance Friendly: Hot-swappable design allows replacement with minimal downtime, preserving overall system monitoring.

Applications

• Industrial machinery vibration monitoring

• Axial thrust position tracking in rotating equipment

• Seismic or structural vibration measurement

• Condition-based maintenance programs for critical assets

FAQ

Q: Can this module be used with non-M series 3500 monitors?
A: No. The 172323-01 is specifically designed for 3500/42M monitors. It is incompatible with older 3500/42 modules.

Q: How many sensors can I connect to one module?
A: Up to four independent sensors per module, including Proximitor, accelerometer, or velocity transducers.

Q: Is it possible to replace the module without shutting down the entire rack?
A: Yes. The module is hot-swappable, though the specific channels it monitors will be temporarily offline during replacement.

Q: What environments can this module operate in?
A: Designed for -30°C to +65°C, it is suitable for standard industrial conditions, including areas with moderate vibration and electrical noise.
