FAQs
Q1: What is the primary function of the 3500/60-01-00?
It is a 6-channel Temperature Monitor that accepts RTD and thermocouple inputs, conditions the signals, and compares them against user-programmable alarm setpoints. When used in a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) configuration, temperature monitors must be installed adjacent to each other in groups of three, employing two types of voting to ensure accurate operation and avoid single-point failures.
Q2: What is the difference between the 3500/60 and the 3500/61?
The 3500/60 and 3500/61 provide identical functionality except that the 3500/61 provides recorder outputs for each of its six channels, while the 3500/60 does not provide recorder outputs . The 3500/60 has a nominal power consumption of 7 W, while the 3500/61 consumes 9 W.
Q3: What is the difference between 163179-01 and 133819-01?
The 163179-01 is the Temperature Monitor main card (front panel) that processes the temperature signals and generates alarms. The 133819-01 is the RTD/TC I/O Module (rear module) that provides the physical terminal connections for field wiring. Both are required together to form a complete 3500/60-01-00 monitoring channel.
Q4: Can the 3500/60-01-00 accept both RTD and TC inputs simultaneously?
Yes. The RTD/TC non-isolated version (Option -01) can be configured to accept either TC or RTD inputs, or a mixture of TC and RTD inputs . The TC isolated version (Option -03) provides 250 Vdc of channel-to-channel isolation to protect against external interference.
Q5: What are the typical applications for the 3500/60?
It is widely used for monitoring radial bearing metal temperature, thrust bearing temperature, motor stator temperature, and inlet/outlet medium temperature on critical rotating machinery such as steam turbines, gas turbines, large compressors, and pump sets in power plants, petrochemical facilities, and other industrial applications.
