Features:
- Four independently programmable SPDT relay outputs for flexible alarm and trip logic.
- cNRTIus certified for safe operation in Class I, Division 2 hazardous (explosive) environments.
- Reliable operation from -30°C to +65°C with epoxy-sealed contacts for harsh industrial environments.
Each of the four channels on the Bently Nevada 3500/32-01-01 features a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) relay that can be programmed independently using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software. Users can implement complex voting logic by combining Alert statuses, Danger statuses, Not-OK conditions, or individual Proportional Power Levels (PPLs) from any monitor channel within the rack. This flexibility allows the module to be tailored precisely to any machinery protection strategy, from simple shutdowns to sophisticated, condition-based tripping.
The Bently Nevada 3500/32-01-01 carries the cNRTIus agency approval, making it suitable for installation in potentially explosive atmospheres such as oil refineries, gas compression stations, and chemical plants. When installed per drawing 149243 or 149244, the module is rated T4 @ Ta = -20°C to +65°C, ensuring reliable performance where flammable gases or vapors may be present during abnormal conditions. This certification provides plant operators with the confidence to deploy the module in critical safety-related applications without compromising site compliance.
Engineered for extreme conditions, the Bently Nevada 3500/32-01-01 operates across a wide ambient temperature range of -30°C to +65°C (-22°F to +150°F) and withstands 95% non-condensing humidity. The relays are epoxy-sealed, providing excellent protection against dust, moisture, and chemical contaminants commonly found in power plants, steel mills, and offshore platforms. This robust construction minimizes contact degradation and ensures long service life, reducing maintenance costs and unplanned downtime in demanding rotating machinery applications.
The 3500/32-01-01 Bently Nevada 3500 4-Channel Relay Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
