The Bently Nevada 3500/61/01-00 163179-02 + 133819-02 Temperature Module is part of the 3500 Series Machinery Protection and Monitoring System. This module is designed to monitor temperature signals in rotating machinery and other critical equipment to provide essential protection and predictive maintenance capabilities. Temperature monitoring is a critical aspect of machine health, as abnormal temperatures can indicate problems such as overheating, lubrication failure, or mechanical wear.

Series: 3500 Series

Model: 3500/61/01-00

Part Numbers: 163179-02 + 133819-02

Type: Temperature Module

Purpose: Provides precise temperature measurements for monitoring critical equipment and machinery, such as bearings, motors, and transformers. It integrates with other modules in the 3500 series for comprehensive protection and condition monitoring.

The 3500/61/01-00 163179-02 + 133819-02 module can support multiple temperature input channels, allowing it to monitor multiple sensors simultaneously. 

Sensor Compatibility: The 3500/61 module is compatible with a wide range of temperature sensors, including:

Thermocouples: Type J, K, T, etc.

RTDs: Common types include PT100 or PT1000 sensors.

3500/61/01-00 163179-02 + 133819-02 Thermocouples: -200°C to +1372°C (-328°F to +2501°F) for different types, such as Type K.

RTDs: Typically -200°C to +850°C (-328°F to +1562°F) for common industrial RTDs like PT100.

The 3500/15-04-04-00 3500/15-04-04-01 module provides high accuracy in temperature measurements, typically within ±0.5°C (±1°F) depending on the sensor and range.

High-resolution output for continuous and precise temperature monitoring.

The 3500/61 module outputs temperature data via standard analog (4-20 mA) or digital signals to the central monitoring system, enabling real-time temperature tracking and analysis.

Signal Processing: The module processes and converts sensor data into readable temperature values, and integrates with other 3500 Series modules for continuous machine health analysis.

Operates on 24 VDC, typical for industrial instrumentation and compatible with most control and protection systems.

Temperature Range for Operation: The module itself operates within a wide environmental temperature range, typically from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F), suitable for harsh industrial conditions.

Features and Benefits:

High-Precision Temperature Monitoring: With compatibility for different types of sensors, the 3500/61 module provides accurate temperature measurements that are essential for detecting overheating or abnormal temperature rise in critical equipment.
