Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are commonly evaluated as replacements or equivalents for the 3500/45 140072-04. Always verify electrical and functional compatibility before substitution:
- Bently Nevada 3500/45 140072-01 / -02 / -03 — Earlier revisions of the same module; functionally equivalent in most applications. Confirm firmware compatibility with your rack.
- Bently Nevada 3500/46M — Enhanced position monitor with additional channel options; drop-in compatible in most 3500 racks.
- Bently Nevada 3300/16 — Legacy single-channel position monitor; suitable for retrofit in older 3300-series racks only.
- Emerson CSI 6500 ATG — Next-generation platform; requires rack and software migration but offers expanded diagnostics.
- Metrix MX2033 — Third-party position monitor; verify probe compatibility and relay logic before use.
Note: Cross-brand substitution requires engineering review. Contact Konmask for compatibility assessment.
Why Choose the Original Model

Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to select the correct position monitor module for your application:
- Number of measurement points: 3500/45 supports 2 channels — sufficient for most single-machine axial position applications. For 4+ channels, consider the 3500/46M.
- Probe type: Confirm probe series (3300 XL vs. 7200) and gap voltage range before ordering.
- Rack slot availability: Verify available single-slot positions in your existing 3500 rack.
- Firmware revision: Match firmware to your System 1 software version to avoid configuration conflicts.
- Certification requirements: For SIL-rated applications, confirm system-level SIL assessment with your safety engineer.
- New vs. refurbished: Konmask supplies both factory-new and professionally refurbished units with test certificates.
