GE / Bently Nevada 81546-01 XDCR I/O and Record Terminals / Dual Hermetic Relays Module

The GE / Bently Nevada 81546-01 is a dual hermetic relay module designed for the Bently Nevada 3300 Series Monitoring System. It functions as an XDCR I/O and record terminals board, accepting two proximity probe transducer signals and providing isolated relay outputs for signal input and record termination. The module delivers buffered transducer outputs via coaxial connectors and rear panel terminals, both short-circuit protected. User-programmable recorder outputs support +4 to +20 mA, 0 to -10 Vdc, or +1 to +5 Vdc formats, each proportional to full-scale monitor settings. Dual hermetic relays provide environmental protection in harsh industrial conditions. The 81546-01 meets API 670 requirements for machinery protection systems and integrates directly into the modular 3300 Series architecture.
