Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 3500/62 is a 6-channel Process Variable Monitor used within the 3500 Series rack-based monitoring system. The specific configuration 136483-01 + 163179-03 refers to:
136483-01: The main 3500/62 monitor module (standard version, 6 channels).
163179-03: A rear-probe input/output (I/O) module with internal termination (typically for current/voltage inputs).
This module accepts DC voltage, DC current, or direct resistance inputs (e.g., from pressure, temperature, flow, or level sensors) and provides conditioned signals to the 3500 rack for alarming, protection, and trend analysis.

Application Scenarios
The 3500/62 (136483-01 + 163179-03) is used in machinery protection and condition monitoring systems where process variables (non-vibration) must be integrated with vibration monitoring for comprehensive asset protection.
Primary Applications:
Steam and Gas Turbine Monitoring
Measuring casing pressure, exhaust temperature, and valve position feedback.
Combined with vibration data for turbine trip logic.
Compressor Control and Protection
Monitoring suction/discharge pressure, lube oil temperature, and flow rates.
Provides pre-alarm and trip signals to prevent surge or bearing damage.
Pump and Fan Systems
Bearing temperature (RTD via resistance input), seal leakage pressure, or fluid level.
Integrates with 3500 rack for automatic shutdown on high temperature or low suction pressure.
Generator Condition Monitoring
Hydrogen pressure, cooling water temperature, and stator winding temperature.
Feeds data to plant DCS and the 3500 System’s historical trends.
General Process Variable Backup
Where critical machine trips require redundant or faster response than a DCS can provide.
The 3500/62’s dedicated hardware alarms (Danger/Alert) act independently of plant control networks.
