Bently Nevada 3500/05-02-04-00-00-01 System Rack

The 3500/05-02-04-00-00-01 System rack design holds all 3500 monitor modules and rack power supplies. It allows the various 3500 modules to communicate with one another and the power supplies to distribute power to each module as required.

3500 Racks are available in two sizes:

1. Full-size Rack – 19-inch EIA rack with 14 available module slots
2. Mini-Rack – 12-inch rack with 7 available module slots

3500 racks are available in three formats:

1. Panel mount – This rack format mounts to rectangular cut-outs in panels, and secures to the panel using clamps supplied with the rack. Wiring connections and I/O modules are accessible from the rear of the rack.
2. Rack mount – This rack format mounts the 3500 rack on 19-inch EIA rails. Wiring connections and I/O modules are accessible from the rear of the rack.
3. Bulkhead mount – This rack format mounts the rack against a wall or panel when it is not possible to access the rear of the rack. Wiring connections and I/O modules are accessible from the front of the rack. The 3500/05 Mini-Rack is not available in this format.

The Power Supplies and Rack Interface Module must occupy the far left rack positions. The remaining 14 rack positions (7 rack positions for the Mini-Rack) are available for any combination of modules. If you plan to install internal barriers in the 3500 rack, consult our document part number 141495-01, Specifications and Ordering Information for 3500 Internal Barriers.

Ordering Considerations

• Racks with Internal Barriers installed require a 3500/04-01 Internal Barrier Earthing Module to provide the IS Earth connection to the 3500/05 rack. This earthing module requires a dedicated rack position.
• The 3500/93 System Display A01 System Face Mount option is incompatible with the 3500/05 Mini-rack.
• The 3500/05 Mini-rack is not available in the Bulkhead mount option.
• The 3500/06 Weatherproof housing is not compatible with the 3500/05 Bulkhead Mount option.
• When using a 3500 Mini-rack in an EIA rack, a 144863-01 19-inch EIA Adapter Panel is required.
• The 3500 Mini-rack requires Version 2.70 or later of the 3500/01 Software.
