FAQs

Q1: What is the primary function of the 128229-01?
It is the rear I/O module for the 3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor. It serves as the direct hardware interface linking external proximity probes and seismic transducers to the front-facing monitor. It provides stable sensor power excitation, receives raw analog signals, and channels these signals through the backplane to the main processor card for computation of machinery metrics like radial vibration, thrust position, acceleration, velocity, eccentricity, and REBAM.
Q2: What is the difference between 128229-01 and 128240-01?
The primary difference is the termination method. The 128229-01 uses Internal Terminations — field wiring connects directly to built-in terminal blocks on the module. The 128240-01 uses External Terminations — field wiring connects to separate external termination blocks, with a cable linking to the I/O module.
Q3: Does the 128229-01 include the front-facing monitor card?
No. The 128229-01 is the rear I/O module only. A complete monitoring channel requires the compatible 3500/42M monitor card (176449-02) for signal processing and alarm functions.
Q4: Can the 128229-01 accept signals from Keyphasor transducers?
No. Keyphasor signals require a dedicated 3500/25 Keyphasor module and its associated I/O. The 128229-01 is designed for proximity and seismic transducer inputs only .
Q5: Is the 128229-01 hot-swappable?
Yes, but with precautions. Before pulling or inserting the module, activate the Rack Bypass switch or manually bypass the corresponding alarm relays in the configuration software. This prevents temporary switching transients from accidentally tripping machinery during the swap.
