Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 3500/65-02-00 16-Channel Temperature Monitor is a temperature monitoring module designed for integration into the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. It provides continuous temperature measurement for critical machinery components and supports both protection and condition monitoring functions.
This module accepts multiple temperature inputs and converts them into digital data used for alarm evaluation, trending, and machinery protection logic. With support for sixteen independent temperature channels, the 3500/65-02-00 enables centralized temperature supervision of complex machines within a single system slot.
The monitor is commonly applied in rotating machinery systems where bearing temperature, winding temperature, oil temperature, or process-related thermal conditions must be continuously supervised to prevent overheating and secondary mechanical damage.
