Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 3500/61-01-00 is a six-channel temperature monitoring module engineered for continuous thermal supervision within the 3500 Machinery Protection platform.
This configuration combines the main temperature monitor with a non-isolated RTD/thermocouple I/O module featuring internal terminations for direct field wiring. The module continuously evaluates temperature conditions from critical machinery and communicates alarm or shutdown conditions through the 3500 rack system when preset thresholds are exceeded.
The unit is commonly installed in turbine control systems, compressors, generators, and rotating equipment protection applications where stable and fast temperature monitoring is required.

Internal Termination Design
The internal termination configuration allows field wiring to connect directly to screw terminals located on the rear I/O module. This simplifies installation and reduces additional external termination hardware requirements.
This arrangement is commonly selected for compact rack installations and standard industrial control cabinets.
Application Areas
Typical deployment environments include:
-
Steam and gas turbine monitoring
-
Compressor protection systems
-
Generator winding temperature supervision
-
Bearing metal temperature monitoring
-
Oil and gas process equipment
-
Power generation facilities
FAQ
Q1: Does the 3500/61-01-00 support both RTD and thermocouple inputs simultaneously?
Yes. Each channel can be individually configured for supported RTD or thermocouple sensor types.
Q2: What is the difference between internal and external termination versions?
The internal termination version allows direct field wiring to the rear I/O module, while external termination versions use separate termination assemblies.
Q3: Is this module approved for hazardous locations?
The “00” approval option indicates a standard version without additional hazardous-area agency certifications.
