Baker Hughes has introduced a new four-channel Monitor, 3500/42M Proximitor Seismic Monitor, designed for continuous monitoring and protection of industrial machinery. The monitor receives input signals from proximity and seismic sensors, provides vibration and position measurements, and compares these signals with a user-programmable alarm set point to drive the alarm system, ensuring the proper operation of the machine and the safety of the maintenance personnel.

The main functions of the 3500/42M Proximitor Seismic Monitor include:

Monitoring radial vibration
Monitoring thrust position
Monitor differential expansion
Monitoring eccentricity
Monitor the circle acceptance area
Monitor speed and acceleration
The channels of the monitor can be programmed in pairs and both functions listed above can be performed simultaneously. For example, channels 1 and 2 May perform one function, while channels 3 and 4 May perform another or the same function. Each channel usually adjusts its input signal to various parameters, called static values, according to the configuration. Users can configure alarm setpoints for static values of each activity, and they can configure danger setpoints for static values of any two activities.

3500/42M

In addition, the 3500/42M Proximitor Seismic Monitor has the following specifications:

Signal input: Receive 1 to 4 proximity, speed, or acceleration sensor signals
Power consumption: Typical value is 7.7 watts
Input impedance: Standard I/O, 10 kΩ (proximity and acceleration inputs)
Frequency response: User programmable monopole -3dB, 4 Hz to 4000 Hz or 1 Hz to 600 Hz, accuracy ±1%.
The monitor is used in a wide range of industries, including but not limited to oil and gas, chemicals, power, water treatment and mining, providing powerful monitoring and control solutions for a wide range of industrial applications
