Bently Nevada 3300/36 Robust Dual-channel Temperature Monitor

The Bently Nevada 3300/36 is a robust dual-channel temperature monitor, ideal for safeguarding industrial equipment by continuously measuring and monitoring temperature in two locations simultaneously. This system provides reliable protection and diagnostics for machinery, helping to identify potential temperature-related issues before they lead to equipment failure, reduce downtime, and ensure operational safety.

General Information

• Manufacturer: Bently Nevada 
• Model Number: 3300/36
• Type: Dual-Channel Temperature Monitor

Features with Data Details

• Dual-Channel Temperature Monitoring: This monitor can measure two independent temperature sources simultaneously, allowing for real-time, multi-point monitoring. Each channel supports temperature sensors, such as RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) or thermocouples, enabling temperature measurements in critical components of machinery.

• Advanced Alarm Settings: Includes dual configurable alarm levels per channel. Users can set thresholds for each channel to enable early warnings and automated shutdowns if temperature levels exceed safe limits. This feature is instrumental in preventing equipment damage and ensuring safety. Alarm levels can be set to trigger at pre-determined high and high-high conditions.

• Accuracy and Sensitivity: The system has a sensitivity threshold designed for industrial use, ensuring accurate readings even with slight temperature variations. For instance, RTD inputs can achieve an accuracy within ±0.5% of the full scale, which is essential for precise temperature control in critical applications.

• Data Logging and Diagnostics: Records temperature data over time, which is invaluable for diagnostics and predictive maintenance. The system allows for trend analysis and anomaly detection. For example, temperature readings can be logged at intervals as short as one second, with long-term storage options that assist in assessing the health of machinery.

• Environmental and Electrical Durability:

  • Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for extreme industrial environments.
  • Power Supply: Options include 24 VDC or 120 VAC, providing flexibility depending on the power infrastructure available on-site.
  • Humidity Tolerance: Can operate in environments with up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing), enhancing its versatility across various climates and indoor/outdoor installations.

• Communication Interfaces: Equipped with RS232 and Ethernet communication ports. These allow integration with central monitoring and control systems, supporting remote monitoring capabilities and ensuring that temperature data can be accessed and analyzed in real-time from centralized control systems.

• Output Relays: Two output relays per channel, which can be set up to trigger alarms or shutdown procedures. Relay contact ratings typically support up to 5A at 30 VDC, making them capable of handling substantial alarm or control signals to other connected systems.
