Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does the part number 3500/05-01-02-CN-00-01 signify?

A1: It identifies a full-height 3500 rack with internal barrier support, Chinese front panel labeling, and standard configuration for use in hazardous environments.

Q2: Is the rack compatible with redundant power supply modules?

A2: Yes, it supports dual redundant power supply configurations for enhanced operational reliability.

Q3: What is the significance of internal barrier support?

A3: Internal barriers provide isolation between safe and hazardous zones, essential for installations in intrinsically safe environments.

Q4: Can the rack be mounted in any orientation?

A4: The 3500/05 rack is intended for vertical orientation in a 19-inch EIA rack. Horizontal or inverted mounting is not recommended.

Q5: What type of modules can be installed in this rack?

A5: It supports all standard 3500 Series modules, including monitor cards (vibration, temperature), relay cards, power supplies, and communication modules.

Q6: How does the Chinese-labeled front panel benefit the user?

A6: It ensures clarity and compliance in regions where labeling in Chinese is a legal or operational requirement.

Q7: Is this rack suitable for outdoor environments?

A7: No, it should be installed in indoor enclosures or protected environments, typically within control panels.

Q8: What is the maximum power draw of the rack with all modules installed?

A8: While the rack itself does not draw power, the total power requirement depends on installed modules. Power supply modules provide up to 190 W combined.

Q9: Does it support system redundancy?

A9: Yes. The rack accommodates redundant power supplies and redundant Rack Interface Modules (RIMs) for high-availability setups.
