Description

Product Overview

The 163179-01 is the front card assembly of the Bently Nevada 3500/60 temperature monitor, a full‑height hot‑swappable module for the 3500 machinery protection rack. It accepts mixed RTD (Pt100) and thermocouple inputs to measure bearing metal temperature, lube oil temperature, stator winding and auxiliary fluid temperatures on turbines, compressors, pumps and fans. Each channel supports independent alert and danger setpoints, and communicates temperature and alarm status over the TriBus backplane. Unlike the 3500/61 variant, this version has no built‑in analog recorder outputs. It pairs with rear terminal bases including 133827-01 (standard) and 136711-01 (intrinsically safe for hazardous zones), widely used for power, oil & gas and petrochemical machinery protection loops.
