With a sensitivity of 7.87V/mm (200mV/mil) and a linear range of 0 – 2mm, it can detect even the smallest changes in machinery vibration and position, ensuring that subtle faults are not missed. This level of precision is crucial for protecting high – value rotating equipment where minor issues can escalate into major failures.
Wide environmental adaptability: Operating within a temperature range of – 40°C to 85°C and capable of withstanding humidity levels from 5% to 95% (non – condensing), the 3500/40 176449 – 01 is well – suited for harsh industrial environments. Whether in the high – temperature surroundings of a steel mill or the cold conditions of a northern power plant, it maintains stable performance, providing reliable monitoring data at all times.
Strong reliability: The 3500/40 176449 – 01 features a dual – redundant power supply design, ensuring continuous operation even if one power source fails. It also supports hot – swapping, allowing for module replacement without shutting down the entire system, minimizing maintenance – related downtime. Additionally, its IP20 protection rating effectively prevents dust ingress, safeguarding internal components and extending the product’s service life.
Seamless integration: Supporting Modbus RTU/TCP and Ethernet protocols, the 3500/40 176449 – 01 can easily integrate with distributed control systems (DCS) and monitoring networks. This enables smooth data transmission between the monitor and central control systems, facilitating centralized management and analysis of machinery health data, and enhancing the overall efficiency of industrial automation systems.
Typical application scenarios
In the power generation industry, the 3500/40 176449 – 01 is widely used for monitoring steam turbines and generators. For steam turbines, it tracks radial vibration and shaft displacement, helping detect problems such as rotor imbalance and misalignment at an early stage. By providing real – time data, it allows operators to take corrective actions before these issues lead to turbine damage or unplanned shutdowns, ensuring a stable power supply.
In the petrochemical sector, the 3500/40 176449 – 01 plays a vital role in monitoring compressors and pumps. It continuously measures the vibration of compressors, enabling the early detection of bearing wear and blade damage. For pumps, it monitors vibration and position to identify cavitation and impeller wear, ensuring the smooth transportation of raw materials and products, and maintaining the integrity of the production process.
In manufacturing, the 3500/40 176449 – 01 is used to monitor large motors and fans. It keeps track of motor vibration to detect rotor imbalance and bearing faults, preventing unexpected motor failures that could disrupt production lines. For fans, it monitors vibration to ensure proper operation, maintaining good ventilation in production workshops and ensuring a safe working environment.
