1. Product Introduction: Bently Nevada 3500/60 133827‑01

The 3500/60 133827‑01 module is part of the 3500 Machinery Protection System, designed specifically for temperature monitoring. It provides a robust interface for RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) and thermocouples, and integrates those temperature measurements into the broader condition monitoring and protection architecture.

By bringing temperature information into the same rack and system as vibration and displacement data, operators can correlate mechanical health with thermal behavior. This module helps detect overheating, bearing temperature rise, and thermal anomalies before they escalate into failures.

3. Applications

The 3500/60 133827‑01 module is used in systems where temperature is a critical indicator of machine health and process conditions. Typical application areas include:

• Bearing & Lubrication Temperature Monitoring: Measuring bearing shell or oil temperatures in motors, turbines, pumps

• Gearbox Monitoring: Tracking gear oil or housing temperatures

• Thermal Overload Detection: Detecting zones of excessive heat generation before damage

• Process Equipment Integration: Incorporating temperature readings from process sections (heat exchangers, reactors) into machine health analysis

• Alarm / Shutdown Logic: Tripping alarms or shutdowns when temperatures exceed safe thresholds

• Trend & Diagnostics: Correlating temperature trends with vibration or displacement trends for root cause analysis

This module is especially valuable in power generation, petrochemical plants, refineries, and any facility where rotating equipment and thermal processes co‑exist.

4. Advantages & Key Features

• Dedicated Temperature Inputs: Six channels designed expressly for RTDs and thermocouples

• Integration with 3500 System: Temperature data sits natively alongside vibration and position data

• High Accuracy & Calibration: Supports linearization, calibration curves, and cold junction compensation

• Alert & Danger Logic: Configurable thresholds to issue warnings or protective actions

• Buffered Outputs: Allows external monitoring systems to access temperature signals without interfering

• Compact, Modular Design: Fits seamlessly into standard 3500 racks

• Reliable in Industrial Environments: Broad operating temperature and humidity tolerance

• Holistic Condition Context: Correlate thermal behavior with mechanical data for richer diagnostics
