Bently Nevada 3500/65 145988-02 Channel Temperature Monitor
Description
The 3500/65 monitor provides 16 channels of temperature
monitoring and accepts 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.
The monitor is programmed using the 3500 Rack
Configuration Software. You can configure the 16-Channel
Temperature Monitor to accept isolated tip thermocouples,
3-wire RTD, 4-wire RTD, or a combination of TC and RTD inputs.
In Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) configurations, you must
install temperature monitors in groups of 3 adjacent
monitors. In this configuration the monitor uses 2 types of
voting to ensure accurate operation and to avoid singlepoint failures.

Alarms
Alarm
Setpoints
You can use software
configuration to set Alert and
Danger setpoints for the value
measured by the monitor. Alarms
are adjustable from 0 to 100% of
full-scale for each measured
value. The exception is when the
full-scale range exceeds the range
of the sensor. In this case,
software will limit the setpoint to
the range of the sensor. Accuracy
of alarms are to within 0.13% of the
desired value. The 3500/65 16-
channel temperature monitor has
both under- and over-alarm
setpoints.
Alarm
Time
Delays
You can use software to program
alarm delays as follows:
Alert
Delay
From 1 to 60 seconds in 1-second
increments.
Danger
Delay
From 1 to 60 seconds in 0.5-
second increments.
Proportional Values
Proportional values are temperature
measurements used to monitor the machine.
The 16-channel temperature monitor returns
temperature proportional values.
