3500/05-01-01-05-00-01 Bently Nevada System Rack

The Bently Nevada 3500/05-01-01-05-00-01 is a full-size system rack for the 3500 machinery condition monitoring system. It provides mounting positions for monitor modules, power supplies, and the rack interface module, allowing these components to operate together within a shared rack assembly. The 19-inch rack format provides 14 module slots and supports rack-mounted installation on standard 19-inch EIA rails.

Technical Specifications

Rack Configuration and Module Placement

The 3500/05 provides a common mounting structure for the monitoring modules and power supplies in a 3500 system. The rack also allows installed modules to communicate with one another through the rack architecture. The power supplies distribute operating power to the installed modules.

The power supplies and rack interface module must occupy the far-left rack positions. The remaining positions accommodate the permitted combination of monitoring modules, subject to the applicable system configuration requirements.

Mounting Options

The 3500 system rack supports different mounting formats according to the selected ordering configuration:

• Panel mount: Secures the rack to a panel cutout using the supplied clamps. Wiring connections and I/O modules are accessible from the rear.
• Rack mount: Attaches the rack to 19-inch EIA rails, with wiring connections and I/O modules accessible from the rear.
• Bulkhead mount: Allows installation against a wall or panel when rear access is unavailable. Wiring connections and I/O modules are accessible from the front. This format is not available for the 3500/05 Mini-Rack.

The exact mounting arrangement must be confirmed from the complete model number before installation.

Ordering Code Identification

The 3500/05 ordering format uses five configuration fields:

The supplied model number, 3500/05-01-01-05-00-01, appears inconsistent with the ordering options above. The first field identifies a 19-inch rack, while the second field specifies panel mounting for a full-size rack. However, the third field value 05 is not listed among the documented agency approval options, and the fourth field value 00 conflicts with the stated reserved-field position if the code is interpreted strictly according to the supplied five-field format. Confirm the complete ordering code against the product label before using these suffixes to determine the actual rack configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many modules can the Bently Nevada 3500/05 full-size rack accommodate?

A: The full-size rack provides 14 module slots. The power supplies and rack interface module must occupy the far-left positions, and the remaining positions accommodate monitoring modules according to the system configuration.

Q: What is the difference between panel mount, rack mount, and bulkhead mount?

A: Panel mount secures the rack to a panel cutout, rack mount attaches it to 19-inch EIA rails, and bulkhead mount allows front access when the rear of the rack is inaccessible. The mounting option must match the physical installation requirements.

Q: Can the exact mounting and approval configuration be determined from model 3500/05-01-01-05-00-01?

A: Not conclusively from the supplied ordering table. The listed code contains values that do not align with the documented field options, so verify the full model number against the rack label or applicable ordering documentation before selecting a replacement.
