Product Description
The Bently Nevada 133388-02 is a high-precision tachometer and Keyphasor monitoring core module belonging to the 3500 series machinery protection system. Serving as the dedicated rotational speed and phase reference acquisition unit for rotating equipment, it accurately collects speed pulse signals and keyphasor phase signals from field probes. It realizes real-time rotational speed measurement, direction judgment and phase reference positioning, providing critical synchronous reference data for vibration analysis, shaft eccentricity calculation and equipment fault diagnosis of turbines, compressors and generators.

This industrial-grade monitoring module supports wide-frequency signal acquisition ranging from 0.0167 Hz to 20 kHz, adapting to low-speed and high-speed rotating equipment operating conditions. It features adjustable signal threshold from 0.5 V to 9.5 V with automatic and manual dual adjustment modes, ensuring stable capture of weak and variable field signals. The module integrates multiple protection and monitoring logics including overspeed, underspeed, zero-speed and reverse rotation judgment, and supports peak speed and reverse times data recording. It outputs standard 4–20mA analog signals and relay alarm contact signals for system linkage. Adopting standard 3500 rack hot-swap design, with conformal coating and enhanced EMC anti-interference performance, it adapts to harsh industrial environments and supports 24/7 long-term continuous stable monitoring operation.
