136294-01 Isolated External Termination Block (for 3500/62 Isolated Module)

136294-01
5.1 Product Overview & Application Information
The 136294-01 is a dedicated factory-matched isolated external termination block designed exclusively for the Bently Nevada 3500/62 full channel-isolated process variable monitoring module. Serving as the core field wiring accessory for isolated 3500/62 variants, it provides standardized, channel-independent signal termination to fully preserve the module’s native galvanic isolation performance. Unlike general-purpose terminal blocks, this model features dedicated isolation partitioning and channel separation structure, eliminating artificial signal crosstalk and ground loop interference caused by on-site wiring.
It is specially developed to support 4–20 mA current and ±10 Vdc analog signal wiring for 3500/62 isolated modules, perfectly matching the 250 Vdc channel-to-channel isolation specification of 136483-01 module. It is widely applied in high-electromagnetic-interference industrial sites, multi-signal mixed wiring scenarios and SIL-rated safety instrument systems, ensuring complete isolation integrity from field sensor loop to module acquisition terminal.
