4. General Manufacturing

V. Precautions

• This module must be matched with Bently Nevada 3500 series racks and 3500/25 Enhanced Keyphasor Modules and cannot operate independently. Verify hardware and system compatibility before installation to ensure interface matching and avoid abnormal signal acquisition or transmission.

• Distinguish signal input terminals from other terminals during wiring. Correctly connect proximity probes or magnetic pickups in accordance with standard wiring specifications and ensure secure terminal fastening. Shielded cables are recommended to minimize electromagnetic interference and prevent signal loss or module damage caused by incorrect or loose connections.

• 
  

• Configure keyphasor parameters reasonably according to field monitoring requirements, including single unpaired mode. Validate all configurations after setup to guarantee accurate signal conversion and reliable speed & vector monitoring results.
• Keep the operating temperature within 0℃ ~ +65℃. Stay away from high-temperature heat sources, frequency converters and high-voltage equipment to reduce electromagnetic interference, prevent performance drift and component damage, and maintain monitoring precision.

• Regularly inspect terminal tightness and module surface cleanliness. Power off the device before dust cleaning to avoid insulation degradation and poor contact. Prevent contact with corrosive substances to protect internal circuits and signal interfaces and extend service life.

• 
  

• Unauthorized disassembly or modification of internal circuits is prohibited. All faults must be inspected and repaired by professional industrial control technicians or Bently Nevada certified engineers to prevent fault expansion and system downtime.
• For long-term storage, place the module in a dry, dust-free and constant-temperature environment to avoid component damage caused by moisture, dust or extreme temperatures. Inspect signal acquisition and conversion functions before re-commissioning.
• Take full advantage of backward compatibility during module replacement to ensure consistent form, fit and function with legacy systems. Confirm module operating status and smooth data transmission via system configuration software after replacement.
