Bently Nevada 3500/32M 149986-02 4-Channel Relay Module

The Bently Nevada 3500/32M 149986-02, cataloged as the 4-Channel Relay Module, operates as a dedicated output component designed to provide discrete relay switching outputs for machinery alarm conditions and emergency shutdown actions within 3500 Machinery Protection System platforms.

Hardware Specifications

Rotor Dynamics and Transient Data Interface Scaling

Operating as part of the critical machinery protection path, this 4-channel relay module interfaces directly with monitor cards to execute programmed voting logic, alert notifications, and danger trip commands. Each SPDT relay features epoxy sealing and built-in arc suppression to maintain reliability in heavy industrial environments. The module responds to channel status changes across the rack backplane, safely switching external alarm horns, lights, or emergency shutdown circuits when vibration, thrust, or temperature parameters exceed configured thresholds.
