Bently 350061 163179-02F Monitoring Module
Product Dimensions:
1. Product Detailed Description
The 3500/61 (163179-02) is a 6-channel monitor that accepts inputs from both Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) and Thermocouples (TCs).
The primary difference between the 3500/61 and its sibling, the 3500/60, is that the 3500/61 provides individual recorder outputs (4 to 20 mA) for each of its six channels. It processes sensor signals, compares them against user-defined alarm setpoints, and can trigger machinery trips or alerts to prevent damage from overheating in bearings, windings, or other critical areas.

3. Product Advantages
-
Dual Sensor Support: Highly flexible; a single module can be configured to handle RTDs, TCs, or a mix of both.
-
Integrated Recorder Outputs: Unlike the 3500/60, this module provides 4-20mA outputs for easy integration with DCS or PLC history recorders.
-
Redundancy Support: Compatible with Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) configurations for high-integrity protection.
-
Software Configurable: All parameters, including sensor type and alarm setpoints, are easily set via the 3500 Rack Configuration Software—no hardware jumpers required.
-
Machinery Protection: Provides automatic machine trips based on temperature, preventing catastrophic failure due to bearing wear or lubrication loss.
4. Cautions & Precautions
-
I/O Module Matching: The 163179-02 monitor must be paired with the correct I/O module (e.g., 133819-02 for non-isolated internal terminations).
-
Not for Overspeed: This is a temperature monitor; it should not be confused with tachometer modules despite similar physical appearances.
-
Isolation Requirements: For environments with high electrical noise, use the Isolated TC version to prevent channel-to-channel interference.
-
Cold Junction Compensation: When using Thermocouples, ensure the I/O module’s cold junction compensation is correctly calibrated or accounted for in the wiring.
5. Product Applications
The 3500/61 is used to monitor temperature on a variety of machinery, including:
-
Gas and Steam Turbines: Monitoring exhaust gas temperature (EGT) and bearing temperatures.
-
Large Motors/Generators: Stator winding and thrust bearing temperature monitoring.
-
Centrifugal Compressors: Discharge temperatures and radial bearing metal temperatures.
-
Pumps and Gearboxes: Lube oil and gearbox casing temperatures.
