Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 3500/60 (133811-01 + 133819-01) is an advanced Temperature Monitoring System designed for industrial machinery. This system combines the temperature sensing module (133811-01) with the I/O module (133819-01) to provide real-time monitoring, signal processing, and alarm/trip outputs for critical equipment.

As part of the 3500 Series, it ensures precise temperature detection and reliable integration into machinery protection systems, helping to prevent overheating and equipment failure.

Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The 3500/60 Temperature Monitor operates by:

• Receiving temperature signals from thermocouples or RTDs installed on machinery
• Converting these signals into conditioned outputs for alarms, trips, or control systems
• Continuously monitoring for over-temperature conditions
• Triggering immediate alarms or system actions to prevent overheating and damage

This system ensures real-time temperature management for critical machinery components.
