  • Provides High-Resolution Shaft Absolute Position Monitoring With ±0.25% Accuracy At Room Temperature
  • Features Buffered Outputs With Short-Circuit Protection And 300 Ω Impedance For Reliable Signal Transmission
  • Maintains ±0.7% Measurement Error Across Full Temperature Range With Low Power Consumption
The Bently Nevada 138708-01 Shaft Absolute I/O Module delivers precise machine condition monitoring by converting signals from proximity and seismic transducers into reliable shaft position and vibration data. Compared with the 3500/42M standard module, 138708-01 includes internal terminations, simplifying installation and reducing potential wiring errors, while providing buffered outputs for enhanced signal integrity.

With 23.9 / 6.82 V voltage input, 45.5 mA current, and 1.09 / 0.31 W power consumption, the module ensures efficient operation. Its output resolution of 0.3662 µA per bit allows fine measurement, outperforming older 3500/22M I/O modules, which offer lower precision and less temperature stability.

Integrated with the 3500/42M Proximitor Seismic Monitor, the 138708-01 supports comprehensive monitoring, including radial vibration, acceleration, eccentricity, thrust position, REBAM, circular acceptance region, differential expansion, shaft absolute, and velocity. This module not only improves measurement accuracy but also enhances signal consistency, making it ideal for demanding industrial environments where uptime and reliability are critical.

The 138708-01 Bently Nevada Shaft Absolute I/O Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
The Bently Nevada 138708-01 Shaft Absolute I/O Module is engineered to provide high-precision monitoring for rotating machinery, integrating seamlessly with the 3500/42M Proximitor Seismic Monitor. Unlike the standard 3500/42M, the 138708-01 offers internal terminations for cleaner wiring and faster installation, reducing field complexity while maintaining robust performance.

With voltage inputs of 23.9 / 6.82 V and a current of 45.5 mA, the module operates efficiently at low power (1.09 / 0.31 W). Its output resolution of 0.3662 µA per bit ±0.25% error at room temperature ensures superior measurement fidelity, outperforming similar modules like the 3500/22M, which has lower resolution and higher drift over temperature. Across the full temperature range, 138708-01 maintains ±0.7% error, supporting reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.

The Shaft Absolute Buffered Outputs are short-circuit protected and feature 300 Ω output impedance, providing enhanced signal integrity for critical machine data. Compared to the 3500/42M alone, which primarily monitors vibration and position, the 138708-01 extends capabilities with internal terminations and direct buffered outputs, minimizing wiring errors and improving signal consistency.

Integrated with the 3500/42M Proximitor Seismic Monitor, the 138708-01 module facilitates continuous protection of machinery by comparing monitored parameters against configurable alarm setpoints. Users can program channels to report radial vibration, REBAM, acceleration, eccentricity, differential expansion, circular acceptance region, thrust position, shaft absolute, and velocity. This module enables precise, real-time communication of essential machine information to operations and maintenance personnel, surpassing the basic 3500/42M configuration in both signal clarity and installation convenience.

For facilities upgrading from the 3500/22M or deploying new 3500/42M systems, the 138708-01 module offers a significant improvement in accuracy, output buffering, and temperature stability, ensuring consistent and reliable machinery monitoring in complex industrial setups.
