Bently Nevada|3500/60 163179-01|Temperature Monitor | In-stock

The Bently Nevada 3500/60 (Part Number 163179-01) is the most commonly used temperature monitor module in the 3500 series. For traders and resellers, this is a "High-Demand" replacement part used in power plants and oil refineries worldwide.

Why Procurement Managers Choose 163179-01:

This module is a 6-channel monitor that works with RTD (such as Pt100) and Thermocouples. Because it is a safety-critical part, the machine will stop if this module fails. Therefore, end-users often need to buy these parts quickly to avoid massive financial losses from unplanned downtime.

Professional Advice for Traders (Avoid Common Mistakes):

As a trader, your biggest risks are version mismatch and bad product quality. To ensure a smooth deal, please check the following:

1. Check the I/O Module: The 163179-01 is the front main module. However, it MUST work with a back I/O module (such as 133819-01). We suggest you ask your client: "Do you need only the front module, or do you also need the back I/O module?"

2. Case Study: We recently helped a client from Vietnam who ordered only the front module. Unfortunately, after shipping, his end-user found that the back I/O module was also burnt. The client had to place a second order. Asking this question early shows your professionalism and saves time and shipping costs for everyone.

3. Condition is Key: In the Bently Nevada market, 3500 series cards are very popular. Prices change based on the manufacturing year, and the price gap between Used and New units is huge. Always verify the price and inspect the product carefully before shipping. Avoid choosing "too low" prices that may lead to poor quality or delivery failure.

Working Principle:

The 3500/60 module reads signals from temperature sensors deep inside the machine. It constantly checks these temperatures and compares them with your "Alarm" settings.

The logic is simple but vital: if the bearing temperature goes above the safety limit, the module sends a signal to "Trip" (stop) the machine immediately. It acts like a Safety Shield for the machine's bearings. By reading 6 different points, it protects multi-million dollar systems from fire or explosion.

Maintenance & FAQ (For Quick Sourcing):

• Q: Is it in stock?

A: Yes. This is a high-frequency item. We maintain ready-stock of 163179-01 to support urgent "Plant Shutdown" orders.

• Q: Does it include software?

A: No. The software is usually already at the factory. You are providing the hardware replacement.

• Q: What is the "Not OK" LED?

A: If the green "OK" light is off and the "Not OK" light is on, it means there is an internal error or the sensor wire is broken. Check the wiring at the back first.

• Q: Can I change the sensor type?

A: Yes. The 3500/60 can be programmed for different sensors (like PT100 or Type K). However, you must use the 3500 Rack Configuration Software to change settings.

• Q: Does it support Hot-Swap?

A: Yes. You can pull out the old 163179-01 and plug in a new one while the power is on. But be careful not to touch other modules.
