Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 135489-01 is a 3500/42M 4-Channel Proximitor®Monitor Module,part of the 3500 Machinery Protection System by Bently Nevada(Emerson).This module is designed to accept input from up to four Bently Nevada proximity probe systems(e.g.,3300 XL or 3300 NSv sensors)to continuously monitor radial vibration,axial position(thrust),or differential expansion on critical rotating machinery such as turbines,compressors,pumps,and generators.
The“M”in 3500/42M denotes the“Modular”or enhanced version with improved diagnostics,flexible alarm logic,and compatibility with modern digital communication protocols via the 3500 rack interface.
🔹Note:The 135489-01 is the monitor module only—it requires external Proximitor sensors(e.g.,176999-01)and probes(e.g.,132419-01)to form a complete measurement loop.

Key Features&Functions
✅True Peak-to-Peak Vibration Measurement
Unlike RMS-based sensors,the 3500/42M captures actual shaft orbit amplitude—critical for detecting rubs,looseness,or resonance in journal bearings.
✅Dual Alarm Relays per Channel
Each channel provides independently configurable Alert(warning)and Danger(trip)relays for integration into shutdown systems or DCS alarms.
✅Advanced Diagnostics
Monitors gap voltage,sensor health,and cable integrity in real time.Alerts if a probe is shorted,open,or out of calibration range.
✅Flexible Signal Processing
Supports:
Dynamic(AC-coupled):for vibration
Static(DC-coupled):for thrust position
High-pass/low-pass filtering to reject noise or focus on specific fault frequencies
✅Seamless Integration
Data is accessible via Modbus RTU/TCP(through 3500/15E),OPC,or Emerson’s AMS Machinery Health Manager for predictive maintenance.
Typical Applications
Steam Turbines:Radial vibration on HP/IP/LP sections+thrust position
Centrifugal Compressors:Journal bearing vibration monitoring
Motor-Driven Pumps:Early detection of imbalance or misalignment
Gearboxes:Input/output shaft position tracking
Paper Mill Rolls:Differential expansion monitoring
Often used alongside:
3500/25(Speed Input)
3500/15E(Ethernet Rack Interface)
3500/50(Overspeed Protection)
3300 XL Probes&Proximitors

Installation&Maintenance Notes
🔧Installation:
Install in any available slot(except Slot 1)of a 3500 chassis.
Ensure total probe+extension cable length=5.0 m or 9.0 m(standard calibrated lengths).
Use twisted,shielded cable;ground shield at monitor end only.
🛠️Maintenance:
Verify gap voltage during commissioning(~–10 V DC at mid-range).
Test relay operation during safety system functional checks.
Back up configuration files(.rcf)before any rack modification.
⚠️Critical Note:While the 3500/42M provides relay outputs,final trip actions for life-safety or catastrophic failure should be validated per API 670 and may require voting logic(e.g.,3500/53)or SIL-rated modules.
Warranty&Support
The 135489-01 is backed by Emerson’s standard 2-year warranty and global technical support.As a core component of the 3500 platform,it benefits from Bently Nevada’s long-life commitment—units installed in the 1990s are still supported today.
Summary
The Bently Nevada 3500/42M Monitor Module(135489-01)is a high-integrity,4-channel solution for continuous machinery protection using proximity probe technology.Combining precision measurement,robust alarm logic,and deep diagnostics,it remains a gold standard in industries where unplanned downtime carries severe operational,financial,or safety consequences.When integrated into a full 3500 system,it delivers actionable insights that protect both assets and personnel.
