Description

The 3500/46M Hydro Monitor is a four-channel 3500 rack monitor for hydro turbines and generators. It accepts proximity, air gap, seismic and dynamic pressure sensors and measures vibration, position, and static and dynamic pressure.

Multimode channels hold up to eight sets of setpoints and delays. The monitor switches between them via contacts on the I/O module or a command through a communication gateway when the unit changes mode, for example from generating to pumping.
