​1. Product Overview and Core Functionality​

The Bently Nevada 3500/60 is a dual-channel temperature monitoring module within the 3500 Machinery Protection System, engineered to safeguard critical industrial equipment by tracking temperature variations in bearings, lubrication systems, and other high-value components. Designed for seamless integration into the 3500 series framework, this module supports inputs from resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) or thermocouples, enabling precise measurement of surface and fluid temperatures. It provides real-time alerts for overheating, abnormal thermal gradients, or cooling failures in turbines, compressors, and motors. With a robust aluminum housing, the 3500/60 operates reliably in harsh environments (-40°C to 85°C) and complies with API 670 standards for machinery protection. Its dual-channel design allows simultaneous monitoring of multiple points, while 4-20 mA outputs and relay alarms ensure compatibility with control systems for rapid fault response.

​2. Technical Specifications and System Integration​

The 3500/60 module offers high accuracy (±0.5% of reading) across a wide temperature range (-50°C to 400°C), configurable for RTD (Pt100, Pt1000) or thermocouple (J, K, T types) inputs. It features programmable alarm thresholds, latching relays, and self-diagnostic functions to detect sensor faults or wiring issues. Compliant with ATEX/IECEx certifications for hazardous areas and IP52 enclosure ratings, it ensures safe operation in oil refineries, power plants, and chemical facilities. Integration with Bently Nevada’s System 1™ software enables advanced thermal trend analysis, predictive maintenance scheduling, and automated reporting. The module’s hot-swappable design and DIN rail mounting simplify maintenance, while redundant power inputs and communication ports enhance system reliability and uptime.

​3. Applications and Operational Benefits​

Deployed in industries such as energy, petrochemicals, and heavy manufacturing, the 3500/60 mitigates risks associated with thermal failures in critical machinery. By continuously monitoring bearing temperatures and lubrication systems, it prevents catastrophic failures in gas turbines, gearboxes, and pumps, reducing unplanned downtime and repair costs. The module’s compatibility with legacy and modern control systems streamlines upgrades, while its modular architecture supports scalability for expanding operational needs. Fail-safe relay logic and event-triggered data logging enable rapid response to overheating events, ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Trusted globally, the 3500/60 exemplifies Bently Nevada’s expertise in delivering precision monitoring solutions that enhance operational efficiency, equipment lifespan, and industrial safety.
