Bently Nevada 3500/15-05-05-00 Power Supply

Bently Nevada 3500/15-05-05-00 Universal AC Power Supply for 3500 Racks

Key Technical Specifications of Model 3500/15-05-05-00

The Bently Nevada 3500/15-05-05-00 provides power to the entire 3500 monitoring system. It uses the universal AC voltage option for both top and bottom slots. Input voltage ranges from 85 to 264 Vac rms in non-hazardous areas. For hazardous areas, the range is 85 to 250 Vac rms. The peak voltage reaches 120 to 373 Vac pk.

Input frequency operates from 47 to 63 Hz. Maximum input current is 2.8 A rms for universal AC. This power supply requires no minimum rack load. Therefore, you can use it even with lightly loaded racks.

The front panel includes a Supply OK LED. This LED indicates normal operation. When the light is on, the 3500/15-05-05-00 works correctly. If the LED turns off, check your input power immediately.

Mechanical Dimensions and Rack Space

This power supply module measures 120.7 mm x 50.8 mm x 251.5 mm (4.75 in x 2.0 in x 9.9 in). It weighs 1.39 kg (3.06 lb). The module occupies two half-height slots on the left side of the 3500 rack. Both slots can hold a power supply simultaneously. Consequently, you can achieve redundant power configuration.

Each power supply requires a dedicated Power Input Module (PIM). The PIM sits directly behind its associated power supply. PIM dimensions are 120.7 mm x 25.4 mm x 114.3 mm (4.75 in x 1.0 in x 4.5 in). It weighs only 0.34 kg (0.75 lb).

Environmental Limits for Reliable Operation

The Bently Nevada 3500/15-05-05-00 operates in extreme environments. Operating temperature ranges from -30°C to +65°C (-22°F to +150°F). Storage temperature goes from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F). Humidity tolerance reaches 95% non-condensing.

These specifications make this power supply suitable for outdoor or harsh industrial settings. For instance, you can install it in turbine halls, compressor stations, or offshore platforms.

Installation Guidelines for the 3500/15-05-05-00

First, ensure the rack is powered off before installation. Next, slide the 3500/15-05-05-00 into the left-side half-height slots. Insert the top supply first if you install only one unit. Then, push firmly until the rear connectors engage fully.

For redundant operation, install a second identical supply in the remaining slot. Both supplies share the load automatically. If one fails, the other continues without interruption.

Finally, secure the module with the retaining screws. Connect AC power to the corresponding Power Input Module at the rear. Verify the Supply OK LED turns green.

Compatibility Notes for Users

The universal AC power supply works only with the universal AC Power Input Module. It is not compatible with legacy High Voltage AC or Low Voltage AC units. Therefore, always pair the 3500/15-05-05-00 with its matching PIM.

Agency approval option 00 means no certification. If you need CSA, NRTL, ATEX, or IECEx, choose option 01 or 02 instead.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I use a single 3500/15-05-05-00 in the rack?
Yes. The Bently Nevada 3500/15-05-05-00 works as a standalone supply. No minimum rack load is required.

2. How do I achieve redundant power with this model?
Install two identical 3500/15-05-05-00 units in both half-height slots. They automatically share the load and provide backup.

3. Is this power supply compatible with legacy 3500 racks?
Yes, but only if you use the universal AC Power Input Module. Legacy high or low voltage AC units will not work.

4. What does the Supply OK LED indicate?
The LED lights up when the 3500/15-05-05-00 operates normally. If the LED is off, check input voltage and connections.

5. Can this module operate in hazardous locations?
Yes, but only within 85-250 Vac rms. For full hazardous area certification, choose agency approval option 01 or 02.
