⚡ Intrinsic Safety Earthing Solution for Hazardous Area Monitoring
The Bently Nevada 3500/04-01 Internal Barriers Earthing Module delivers critical intrinsically safe (IS) earth grounding for 3500 Series monitoring racks deployed in explosive atmospheres. This specialized module ensures compliance with global hazardous location standards while maintaining system integrity in Zone 0/1/2 and Division 1/2 classified areas.
🛡️ Hazardous Area Certification & Compliance
Engineered specifically for installations requiring intrinsic safety barriers, the 3500/04-01 provides the mandatory earth reference point that enables safe operation in potentially explosive environments including:
- Upstream Oil & Gas: Offshore platforms, wellhead monitoring, and FPSO installations
- Refining & Petrochemical: Process units handling flammable hydrocarbons and volatile compounds
- Chemical Manufacturing: Reactor monitoring in solvent-rich and dust-hazard environments
- LNG Terminals: Cryogenic pump and compressor protection systems
- Pharmaceutical Production: Solvent recovery and spray-drying operations
Available Certifications: CSA/NRTL/C (North America), ATEX (Europe), IECEx (International) - specify during ordering
📐 Technical Specifications & Physical Characteristics
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Part Number | 3500/04-01 (Earthing I/O Module) |
| Function | Intrinsically Safe Earth Reference Point |
| Rack Compatibility | 3500 Series racks with internal barrier modules |
| Dimensions (H×W×D) | 241 × 24.4 × 103.1 mm (9.50" × 0.96" × 4.06") |
| Weight | 0.201 kg (0.443 lb) |
| Mounting | Single-slot rack installation |
| Earth Connection | Dedicated IS ground terminal |
| Installation Position | Required in racks containing barrier modules |
🔌 System Architecture & Integration Requirements
Mandatory Installation Scenario: When your 3500 rack includes any internal barrier modules (such as 3500/42M, 3500/44M with -M suffix indicating barrier-equipped variants), the 3500/04-01 earthing module becomes a required component to establish the IS earth reference.
Electrical Safety Principle: Intrinsic safety relies on energy limitation and proper grounding. The 3500/04-01 provides the low-impedance earth path that ensures barrier circuits maintain their energy-limiting characteristics, preventing ignition sources even under fault conditions.
Installation Best Practices:
- Install earthing module in designated slot within 3500 rack (consult rack configuration drawing)
- Connect IS earth terminal to dedicated intrinsic safety ground bus (separate from chassis ground)
- Verify earth resistance meets certification requirements (<1Ω typical)
- Document earth continuity testing per site hazardous area procedures
- Maintain segregation between IS and non-IS circuits per IEC 60079-11 / NEC Article 504
💼 Operational Benefits & Risk Mitigation
| 🔒 Regulatory Compliance | Meets IEC 60079-11, NEC 505/506, ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU requirements for IS installations |
| ⚙️ System Integrity | Prevents ground loop formation while maintaining IS circuit isolation |
| 🌍 Global Applicability | Multi-agency approval options support worldwide project deployment |
| 🔧 Simplified Maintenance | Modular design enables replacement without disturbing adjacent monitoring channels |
| 📋 Audit Trail | Facilitates inspection and certification renewal processes |
🛒 Ordering Code Structure & Configuration Options
Part Number Format: 3500/04-AA-BB
| Position | Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AA - I/O Module | 01 | Earthing I/O Module (standard configuration) |
| BB - Agency Approval | 00 | No hazardous area certification |
| 01 | CSA/NRTL/C (North America Class I Div 2) | |
| 02 | Multi-certification (CSA + ATEX + IECEx) |
Example: 3500/04-01-02 = Earthing module with CSA/ATEX/IECEx multi-certification
🔗 Compatible 3500 Series Components
The 3500/04-01 works in conjunction with barrier-equipped monitoring modules:
- 3500/42M: Proximitor/Seismic Monitor with internal barriers
- 3500/44M: Aeroderivative GT Vibration Monitor with barriers
- 3500/45: Position Monitor (barrier variants)
- 3500/46M: Hydro Monitor with internal barriers
Note: Non-barrier modules (without -M suffix) do not require the earthing module.
📚 Documentation & Support Resources
Each 3500/04-01 module ships with:
- Installation and safety instructions
- Certification documentation (when applicable)
- Rack mounting hardware
- IS earth connection terminal specifications
For detailed installation drawings, entity parameters, and hazardous area installation practices, consult the 3500 Series Installation Manual (Bently Nevada document 141535-01).
✅ Quality & Reliability Standards
Manufactured to ISO 9001 quality standards with full traceability. Each unit undergoes factory testing to verify earth continuity and insulation resistance before shipment. Backed by Bently Nevada's global service network for technical support and certification assistance.
⚠️ Safety Notice: Installation of intrinsic safety equipment must be performed by qualified personnel familiar with hazardous area classification and applicable electrical codes. Consult your site safety authority before deployment.
