The Bently Nevada 3500/65 Channel Temperature Monitor is a versatile and powerful instrument that provides reliable and accurate temperature monitoring for critical machinery and equipment. With 16 channels of temperature monitoring, the 3500/65 can accept both Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) and isolated tip thermocouple (TC) temperature inputs. The monitor conditions these inputs and compares them against user-programmable alarm setpoints.

Programming and Configuration

The monitor is programmed using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software, which allows for easy configuration and customization of the monitor’s settings. The 16-Channel Temperature Monitor can be configured to accept isolated tip thermocouples, 3-wire RTD, 4-wire RTD, or a combination of TC and RTD inputs. This versatility makes it a great choice for a wide range of applications and industries.

Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) Configuration

In Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) configurations, temperature monitors must be installed in groups of three adjacent monitors. This configuration allows for increased reliability and redundancy, as well as the ability to avoid single-point failures. The 3500/65 uses two types of voting in this configuration to ensure accurate operation and prevent any potential errors or malfunctions.

Advanced Features

The 3500/65 Temperature Monitor offers a range of advanced features, including built-in self-diagnostics, which provide real-time monitoring and reporting of system health and status. This feature helps to identify potential issues before they can cause significant problems or downtime. Additionally, the monitor includes a data logger, which can store up to 12,000 data points for each channel. This data can be downloaded for analysis and further monitoring.

Conclusion

Overall, the Bently Nevada 3500/65 Channel Temperature Monitor is an excellent choice for critical temperature monitoring applications. With its versatility, reliability, and advanced features, it provides a comprehensive solution for a wide range of industries and applications. Whether you are looking to improve the performance and reliability of your equipment or simply need to ensure accurate temperature monitoring, the 3500/65 is a great option to consider.
