🏗️ Compact Modular Rack System for Critical Machinery Protection

The Bently Nevada 3500/05 System Rack (Model: 3500/05-01-02-00-00-00) provides a rugged, space-optimized mounting platform for 3500 Series vibration monitoring modules. This 12-inch mini rack configuration delivers enterprise-grade machinery protection in a compact footprint, ideal for space-constrained installations, offshore platforms, and distributed monitoring architectures.

⚙️ Configuration Breakdown: 3500/05-01-02-00-00-00

Base Model 3500/05 System Rack Platform
Rack Size (01) 12-inch Mini Rack – 7 available module slots
Mounting Type (02) Panel Mount – Direct surface installation
Agency Approval (00) Standard industrial rating (non-hazardous)
Reserved (00) Future expansion capability
Compliance (00) Base certification package

✅ Why Choose the 3500/05 Mini Rack System?

  • Space Efficiency: 50% smaller footprint than full-size racks while maintaining full monitoring capability for smaller machine trains
  • Modular Scalability: Accommodates up to 7 monitoring modules plus power supply – perfect for single compressor or pump applications
  • Panel Mount Flexibility: Direct mounting to control cabinets, skid panels, or equipment enclosures without additional rack hardware
  • Integrated Power Distribution: Built-in backplane provides clean power and high-speed communication to all installed modules
  • Hot-Swap Capability: Replace or upgrade modules without system shutdown for zero-downtime maintenance
  • Environmental Resilience: Operates reliably in harsh industrial environments with wide temperature tolerance

📐 Technical Specifications

Specification Value
Model Number 3500/05-01-02-00-00-00
Rack Type 12-inch Mini Rack (Compact)
Module Capacity 7 slots (includes power supply slot)
Mounting Style Panel Mount (surface installation)
Dimensions (HxWxD) 265.94 × 304.80 × 349.25 mm (10.47" × 12" × 13.75")
Weight Approximately 5 kg (11 lbs) empty
Backplane Type High-speed digital communication bus
Power Distribution Redundant power rails with overcurrent protection

🎯 Ideal Application Scenarios

🔹 Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms: Monitor critical pumps and compressors in space-limited equipment modules where every square inch counts. Panel-mount design eliminates need for separate rack cabinets.

🔹 Distributed Refinery Monitoring: Deploy multiple mini racks across process units for localized machinery protection. Each rack monitors 4-6 critical measurement points on pumps, fans, or agitators.

🔹 Power Plant Auxiliary Systems: Protect balance-of-plant equipment like cooling water pumps, lube oil systems, and fuel gas compressors with dedicated compact monitoring stations.

🔹 Marine Propulsion Systems: Install in engine rooms or thruster compartments where vibration, temperature, and space constraints demand ruggedized compact solutions.

🔹 Mining Conveyor Drives: Mount directly on conveyor control panels to monitor gearbox and motor bearings in remote locations with limited infrastructure.

🔧 System Architecture & Module Compatibility

The 3500/05 mini rack supports the complete 3500 Series module family, enabling flexible monitoring configurations:

Typical 7-Slot Configuration Example:

  1. Slot 1: 3500/15 AC Power Supply (required)
  2. Slot 2: 3500/42M Proximitor Monitor (4-channel vibration)
  3. Slot 3: 3500/50 Tachometer Module (speed monitoring)
  4. Slot 4: 3500/60 Temperature Monitor (bearing RTDs)
  5. Slot 5: 3500/20 RIM I/O Module (relay outputs)
  6. Slot 6: 3500/92 Communication Gateway (DCS integration)
  7. Slot 7: Available for expansion or redundant power

This configuration provides comprehensive protection for a single rotating machine with vibration, speed, temperature monitoring, alarm outputs, and network connectivity.

🛠️ Installation & Integration Advantages

  • Pre-Wired Backplane: Eliminates inter-module wiring – simply slide modules into slots and secure with captive screws
  • Standardized Footprint: Compatible with existing 3500 infrastructure for easy upgrades from legacy 3300 systems
  • Cable Management: Integrated routing channels keep sensor cables organized and protected
  • Grounding System: Built-in ground bus ensures proper EMI/RFI shielding for reliable operation in electrically noisy environments
  • Diagnostic LEDs: Front-panel indicators on each module provide instant system health visibility
