Bently Nevada 3500/94M-07-12-02 Display Module

Bently Nevada 3500/94M-07-12-02 VGA Display Module for 3500 Rack Systems

Key Technical Specifications of Model 3500/94M-07-12-02

The Bently Nevada 3500/94M-07-12-02 uses option 07 for display size and mounting. This means it comes as a router box with no built-in display. Option 12 provides a 20 ft (6m) display router box cable. Agency approval option 02 gives you multi-certification including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx.

Power consumption for this module is 4.6 watts maximum. The front panel includes an OK LED for proper operation indication. Additionally, a TX/RX LED shows communication status with other system modules.

The 3500/94M-07-12-02 provides several I/O connections. A VGA port handles analog red, green, blue, and sync signals to the display. An RS232 port manages touch controller data. The front port supplies 24 Vdc power out, VGA signal out, and touch commands in.

Hardware and Firmware Requirements

The Bently Nevada 3500/94M-07-12-02 requires specific components to function correctly. First, you need a 3500/22 Transient Data Interface (TDI) module in the same rack. Second, verify your firmware versions meet these minimum requirements:

• 3500/94M Firmware: 4.06, Rev. C

• 3500/22 Firmware (TDI): Rev 1.71

• 3500/01 Software (Rack Config): Rev 5.6

• 3500/02 Software (Op Display): Rev 2.21

• 3500/03 Software (Data Acquisition): Rev 1.22

Using older firmware may cause communication errors. Therefore, always update your system before installing the 3500/94M-07-12-02.

Physical Dimensions and Rack Space

The monitor module portion measures 241.3 mm x 24.4 mm x 241.8 mm (9.5 in x 0.96 in x 9.52 in). It weighs 0.73 kg (1.6 lb). This module occupies one full-height front slot in the 3500 rack.

The I/O module measures 241.3 mm x 24.4 mm x 99.1 mm (9.50 in x 0.96 in x 3.90 in). It weighs 0.34 kg (0.75 lb). This module occupies one full-height rear slot directly behind the monitor module.

The 3500/94M-07-12-02 itself weighs 1.07 kg including both components. This lightweight design simplifies installation and reduces rack loading.

Environmental Limits for Reliable Operation

This module operates in demanding industrial environments. Operating temperature ranges from -20°C to 65°C (-22°F to 149°F). Storage temperature extends from -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F). Humidity tolerance reaches 95% non-condensing.

Furthermore, the Bently Nevada 3500/94M-07-12-02 complies with multiple standards. It meets EMC standards EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4. Electrical safety follows CSA C22.2 61010-1 and UL EN 61010-1. It also complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.

Display Router Box Features

The router box configuration (option 07) serves applications where you do not need a built-in display. Instead, the 3500/94M-07-12-02 routes video signals to an external display. Inputs include +24 Vdc ±6% power at 4.7 watts maximum. The input range is 22.5 to 25.5 Vdc.

VGA inputs carry the video image to the module. RS232 inputs deliver touch screen control data. Outputs include an OK status LED, VGA output for video, and RS232 output for touch data.

Installation Guidelines for the 3500/94M-07-12-02

First, power down the 3500 rack completely. Next, insert the monitor module into a full-height front slot. Push firmly until the rear connectors engage. Then, install the I/O module into the corresponding rear slot directly behind it.

Connect the included 20 ft (6m) display router box cable between the module and your external display. For touch screen functionality, connect the RS232 port to your touch controller.

Finally, apply power and verify the OK LED illuminates. The TX/RX LED should blink to confirm communication with the TDI module and other system components.

KVM Extender Information

The KVM Extender mounts on top of the shelf. It requires 12 Vdc and 5 Vdc power input. Temperature range for the extender is 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F). Humidity tolerance is 80% non-condensing.

Note that the KVM Extender Receiver is approved for Class I, Division 2 hazardous areas in North America. However, the KVM Extender Transmitter is not certified for hazardous use. Therefore, install the transmitter in a safe area or inside an approved enclosure such as a purged housing or cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the router box option (07) for the 3500/94M?
Option 07 means the Bently Nevada 3500/94M-07-12-02 comes without a built-in display. It routes VGA and touch signals to an external monitor instead.

2. What TDI module is required for this display module?
The 3500/94M-07-12-02 requires a 3500/22 Transient Data Interface (TDI) module installed in the same rack.

3. Can I use this module with a 15" Advantech display?
Yes. The Advantech FPM-8151 15" display works well with this module. Ensure your display has VGA input and RS232 touch support.

4. Is the KVM Extender approved for hazardous areas?
Only the Receiver is approved for Class I, Division 2 areas. The Transmitter must stay in a safe area or an approved enclosure.

5. What does the TX/RX LED indicate?
The TX/RX LED blinks when the 3500/94M-07-12-02 communicates with other 3500 system modules. No blinking suggests a communication problem.
