Bently Nevada 163179-01G Monitor

Core Performance & Industrial Application

The Bently Nevada (Baker Hughes) 163179-01G (PWA163179-01G) is the 6-channel temperature monitor board for the 3500/60 monitor in the 3500 protection system.

It accepts RTD (Pt100) and thermocouple (E/J/K/T) inputs and compares each channel against programmable alert and danger setpoints.

It monitors bearing metal temperature, process fluid and winding points on turbines, compressors and motors.

Each channel provides alarm/bypass indication via front-panel OK, TX/RX and Bypass LEDs.

It plugs into a standard 3500 rack slot as spare replacement in machinery protection cabinets.
