Bently Nevada 3500 Monitor System – Operation & Maintenance Semimar
Description
This 3-day course provides Installation, Operation & Maintenance instructions for the popular Bently Nevada 3500 series On-Line Condition Monitoring System. We will provide an overview of the system development and specification process. We will show you how to configure the various monitoring modules that are used in your plant, and explain how various configuration parameters affect the quality of your information. We will demonstrate how to interface the 3500 system with various plant systems, and show troubleshooting techniques as well.
This course is workshop intensive! You will spend considerable time practicing configuration on the 3500 workstations and will have good hands-on experience to take back on the job. This helps engineers, operators & technicians understand the information available and provides the knowledge to help better operate machinery.
Our 3500 module workshop sessions can also be specifically tailored to emphasize the modules contained in your plant, maximizing your hands-on time experience. Both hotel & on-site seminars are offered.
