Description

BENTLY 149986-01 (3500/61) is a high-precision 16-channel thermocouple (TC) input module engineered for Bently Nevada 3500 machinery protection and condition monitoring systems, specializing in real-time temperature measurement of critical rotating equipment components (bearings, casings, windings) in power generation, oil & gas, and heavy manufacturing industries. As a core temperature acquisition component, BENTLY 149986-01 supports a wide range of thermocouple types (Type K, J, T, E, R, S, B) with built-in cold-junction compensation and linearization, ensuring measurement accuracy of ±0.5°C for reliable detection of subtle temperature anomalies. BENTLY 149986-01 integrates seamlessly with the 3500 system backplane, enabling plug-and-play configuration via Bently 3500 Rack Configuration Software and supporting configurable high/low temperature alarms to trigger protective actions for equipment. Its 16-channel high-density design optimizes rack space utilization, while 1000V AC channel-to-channel isolation resists electromagnetic interference (EMI) in harsh industrial environments. Whether deployed in a 1000MW thermal power plant’s steam turbine bearing temperature monitoring or a refinery’s centrifugal compressor casing temperature tracking, BENTLY 149986-01 delivers stable and accurate temperature data, making BENTLY 149986-01 an industry-trusted solution for predictive maintenance and machinery safety.
