Description The Bently Nevada 3500/60 (163179-01) is a high-density Temperature Monitor Module designed to provide continuous monitoring of temperature data for rotating machinery. As part of the 3500 Machinery Protection System, this module accepts inputs from resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and thermocouples, allowing for precise tracking of thermal trends. It is critical for identifying potential overheating in bearings, windings, or fluid systems before they lead to catastrophic equipment failure.
