Bently Nevada 3500 series Machinery protection system

3500 – Simply the best

Beginning with the 5000 Series in the 1960s, we’ve introduced

seven successive generations of highly successful

monitoring platforms. Today, that experience is embodied

in the most advanced, powerful, and reliable system we

have ever offered: The Bently Nevada 3500 Series Machinery

Protection System.

Certified

The 3500 is designed to fully comply with the American

Petroleum Institute’s Standard API 670. the world’s most

widely used specification for machinery protection systems.

For reciprocating compressor applications, the 3500 meets

API 618 requirements as well. It can also be ordered with DNV

and Class NK certifications for maritime applications such as

offshore platforms and ship propulsion. And, when used as

part of a safety instrumented system, third party Functional

Safety Certification can be supplied for applications requiring

up to Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2. In addition, the 3500 is

approved to meet relevant Canadian Standards Association

(CSA), Factory Mutual (FM), GOST, ATEX, and CE requirements.

Bently Nevada follows closely the development and changes

in these standards and continually demonstrates our

capacity and commitment to be in sync with them as they

change and evolve. This continued focus and investment

in regulatory excellence ensures our customers don’t have

to worry about deploying a non-compliant solution that

may later require significant update or replacement. A

compliance miss has the potential for exposure to not only

catastrophic consequences, but also can lead to fines from

governments and inspection agencies as well as impact on

insurance rates and reputation. Baker Hughes Bently Nevada

is committed to continued compliance leadership and full

regulatory excellence.

Reliable

We understand that our systems are routinely used not just

for indication, but to provide auto-shutdown protection.

That’s why – even in simplex mode – the 3500 is the most

reliable monitoring system we have ever offered with

extensive self-checking and fault tolerant design features.

Connected

Connecting to condition monitoring and diagnostic software

has never been easier. With the 3500 there are no bulky

external modules, no additional wiring, and no extra rack

slots required. Simply use the Ethernet port in the 3500/22M

Transient Data Interface Module and a single network cable

to communicate with our System 1† software. Connecting

to plant control and automation systems is straightforward

as well. Simply add a communication gateway module.

You can even add multiple gateways when communication

redundancy is required or when multiple systems must be

supported with differing protocols.

Flexible

The 3500 Series features the industry’s most extensive

selection of machinery measurement parameters combined

with software configuration for virtually all monitor options.

Local or remote mounted displays are available, or you can

operate the 3500 without a display. The result is unparalleled

flexibility to address almost any application.

Field-proven

The 3500 Series system has proven its value and

dependability with customers everywhere, year after year,

with more than 100.000 racks installed globally.
