Overview of 3500/45 Position Monitor:

The 3500/45 Position Monitor is a versatile 4-channel instrument designed to process inputs from various transducers, including proximity transducers, Rotary Position Transducers (RPTs), DC Linear Variable Differential Transformers (DC LVDTs), AC Linear Variable Differential Transformers (AC LVDTs), and rotary potentiometers. This monitor then conditions the input signals and compares them against user-programmable alarms.

Functionalities and Configuration:

• Measurement types and required I/O modules depend on the transducer input. Refer to Transducer Types for Position Measurements, Front and Rear Views of 3500/45 Position Monitor, and I/O Modules for AC LVDTs and Rotary Potentiometers for detailed information.
• Each channel’s functionality is programmable using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software. The following functions can be assigned:
  • Axial (thrust) Position
  • Differential Expansion
  • Standard Single Ramp Differential Expansion
  • Non-standard Single Ramp Differential Expansion
  • Dual Ramp Differential Expansion
  • Complementary Differential Expansion
  • Case Expansion
  • Valve Position
• Channels are programmed in pairs, capable of performing up to two functions simultaneously. For instance, Channels 1 and 2 can perform one function, while Channels 3 and 4 may perform the same or a different function.

Primary Objectives:

• Machinery Protection:
  • Continuously compares monitored parameters against configured alarm setpoints to trigger alarms.
• Information Provision:
  • Supplies essential machine information for operations and maintenance personnel.

Measured Variables and Setpoints:

• Each channel, based on its configuration, conditions the input signal to generate measured variables.
• Users can set alert setpoints for each active measured variable and danger setpoints for any two of the active measured variables.
