Bently 3500 60

Product Introduction
The 3500/60 is a six-channel temperature monitor within the 3500 Machinery Protection System. It is specifically designed to accept Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) and Thermocouples (TCs), continuously monitoring thermal parameters to prevent overheating and mechanical damage in critical rotating equipment.

Description

Bently 3500 60

Technical Specifications

  • Model: 3500/60
  • Channels: 6 independent temperature monitoring channels
  • Input Types: RTD and Thermocouple (TC)
  • System Compatibility: 3500 Series Machinery Protection System

Functional Features

  • Thermal Protection: Continuously compares temperature inputs against user-programmable alarm setpoints to drive protection alarms.
  • Flexible Configuration: Supports RTD, TC, or a combination of both via the 3500 Rack Configuration Software.
  • Recorder Output: While the base 3500/60 lacks recorder outputs, it provides precise digital data for system integration.

Application Scenarios
Deployed across power generation, oil and gas, and chemical processing industries to monitor bearing metal temperatures, lube oil temperatures, and casing temperatures on turbines, compressors, and generators.

Performance Parameters

  • Operating Temperature: -30°C to +65°C
  • Storage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
  • Alarm Accuracy: Within 0.13% of the setpoint

Material Composition
Constructed with industrial-grade, flame-retardant plastics and high-reliability electronic components, featuring conformal coating for environmental protection.

Structural Characteristics
Standard 3500 module form factor (241.3 mm x 24.4 mm x 241.8 mm) with front-panel status LEDs and a precision backplane connector.

Working Principle
Receives resistance or millivolt signals from RTDs/TCs, conditions the inputs, and digitizes the temperature values. The microprocessor compares these values against configured thresholds and triggers alarms or relay outputs when limits are exceeded.

Installation Requirements
Insert into an available slot in the 3500/05 Rack Assembly. Use copper conductors only for wiring, and ensure proper grounding to minimize electrical noise.

Precautions for Use
Configure the exact sensor type and calibration curves using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software. Never disconnect connectors while the circuit is live in hazardous areas.
