Description
BENTLEY NEVADA 3500/60 163179-01 Temperature Monitor
The BENTLEY NEVADA 3500/60 163179-01 is a high-performance temperature monitoring module designed for critical rotating machinery in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, and manufacturing. As part of the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System, it supports six independent channels for simultaneous temperature measurement using RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) or thermocouples (TCs). The module converts raw sensor signals into actionable data, enabling real-time condition monitoring, alarm activation, and compliance with API 670 standards. With configurable isolation options and dual-channel redundancy for safety-critical applications, the 3500/60 163179-01 ensures reliable performance in harsh environments.

- Multi-Channel Flexibility: Simultaneous monitoring of six temperature points reduces system complexity.
- Wide Sensor Compatibility: Accepts RTDs (e.g., Pt100) and thermocouples (e.g., K, J types).
- Enhanced Isolation: 250Vdc channel-to-channel isolation in TC versions minimizes EMI/RFI interference.
- Real-Time Alerts: Adjustable high/low alarm thresholds with relay outputs for immediate action.
- Energy Efficiency: Low power consumption (0.5W) reduces operational costs.
- Oil & Gas: Monitoring bearing temperatures in offshore platform turbines.
- Power Generation: Tracking stator temperatures in steam generators.
- Manufacturing: Optimizing process temperatures in chemical reactors.
Case Study: A U.S. chemical plant reduced downtime by 25% using the 3500/60 163179-01 to detect overheating in reactor pumps, enabling proactive maintenance.
The 3500/60 163179-01 stands out due to:
- Higher Channel Density: Six channels vs. typical 4-channel alternatives.
- Enhanced Isolation: Standard 250Vdc TC isolation (not universally offered).
- Dual-Channel Redundancy: Available for TMR configurations, ensuring fail-safe operation.
- High-Interference Environments: Choose the TC-isolated version for reliable signal integrity.
- Space Constraints: Compact design (2.5 cm height) suits installations with limited space.
- Safety-Critical Systems: Pair with BENTLEY’s 3500/22 for triple modular redundancy.
- Sensor Calibration: Verify RTD/TC accuracy before installation.
- Cable Shielding: Use shielded cables for thermocouple inputs to minimize noise.
- Environmental Ratings: Ensure IP67-rated enclosures for outdoor or wet environments.
