Specifications and Ordering Information

/Seismic Monitor
3500/42M Proximitor

Channels 1 and 2 can perform one function, while channels

3 and 4 perform another (or the same) function.

The primary purpose of the 3500/42M monitor is to provide:

1) Machinery protection by continuously comparing

monitored parameters against configured alarm
setpoints to drive alarms.
2) Essential machine information for both
operations and maintenance personnel.

Each channel, depending on configuration, typically

conditions its input signal into various parameters called
“proportional values”. Alert setpoints can be configured for
each active proportional value and Danger setpoints can
be configured for any two of the active proportional values.
