163179-01 is the 3500/60 Temperature Monitor without recorder outputs. The module accepts one to six RTD or thermocouple signals, conditions the measurements and compares them with user-programmable alarm setpoints.

The 3500/60 occupies one full-height front slot and works with a rear full-height temperature I/O module selected for the required RTD or thermocouple interface.

• Six independently processed temperature channels support machinery and process temperature protection.
• Thermocouple selections include types E, J, K and T over their documented temperature ranges.
• RTD selections include 100 Ω platinum, 120 Ω nickel and 10 Ω copper sensor types.
• Alert and danger setpoints include programmable alarm delays for stable protection logic.
• TMR arrangements can use groups of three adjacent monitors where the system design requires triple modular redundancy.

• Choose a non-isolated RTD/TC, isolated TC or internal-barrier I/O module to match the field circuit and area classification.
• Configure sensor type, range, channel behavior and alarm delays in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software.
• The 3500/60 does not provide the recorder outputs available on the 3500/61 variant.
• Maintain adjacent rack positions when implementing the documented TMR grouping.
• Verify field wiring, cold-junction requirements and sensor integrity during loop commissioning.

• Bearing-metal and casing temperature monitoring on rotating machinery.
• Process temperature alarms integrated into a 3500 machinery protection rack.
• Multi-point thermocouple monitoring with an isolated I/O selection where channel separation is required.
• RTD-based asset protection using a common rack alarm and communications environment.
