Thermal Power
Monitoring shaft vibration and thrust position of steam turbine generators.
Petrochemical
Monitoring centrifugal compressors and hot oil pumps to prevent unplanned downtime.
Hydropower
Monitoring the swing (radial vibration) and guide bearing status of hydro-turbines.
Steel & Metallurgy
Monitoring the mechanical health of blast furnace blowers and large exhaust fans.
Chemical Industry
Ensuring the continuous operational safety of reactor agitators and specialized pump sets.

When using the 3500/42E, the primary priority is to ensure that input signal types (e.g., proximity or seismic) perfectly match the software configuration and rear I/O modules, with installation gap voltages strictly set within the linear range. Regularly verify transducer OK status and wiring integrity to prevent false alarms.Furthermore, exercise caution during live system operations and ensure that alarm interlocking logic is correctly switched to Bypass mode during maintenance to avoid costly accidental machinery shutdowns.
