    FAQs

    FAQs

    Q1: What is the primary function of the 176449-02?

    It is the front card of the 3500/42M monitor. It processes signals from proximity probes and seismic transducers, continuously comparing input values against user-programmable alarm setpoints to protect rotating machinery.

    Q2: How many channels does this module support?

    The 3500/42M supports 4 independent channels, each of which can be individually configured for different measurement types (displacement, velocity, or acceleration).

    Q3: What is the difference between the 3500/42M and the 3500/40M?

    The 42M is the more versatile "Multimode" version, accepting both Proximitor and Seismic inputs. The 40M is typically specialized for Proximitor (displacement) inputs only.

    Q4: What does the "M" in 3500/42M signify?

    The "M" designation indicates enhanced "Multimode" capability, allowing each channel pair to be independently configured for different measurement types and offering faster data sampling than the standard 3500/42.

    Q5: Is the 176449-02 still available?

    It is an active/mature product within the 3500 series. Availability depends on stock from authorized distributors and the aftermarket. The 3500 platform remains widely supported, though Bently Nevada continues to develop the next-generation Orbit 60 platform.
