The Bently Nevada 3500/05-01-01-05-00-01 provides the central high-integrity framework for the 3500 Machinery Protection System. This 19-inch EIA standard rack houses and powers the essential modules required for continuous monitoring of critical rotating assets. It serves as the physical and electronic backbone for vibration, position, speed, and temperature acquisition. We supply this chassis in 100% Brand New and Original factory condition, ensuring compliance with the most stringent global safety and API 670 standards.
The dash code configuration defines the specific mounting and agency approval profile for this system:
| Option Code | Selection | Description |
| 01 (AA) | Rack Size | 19-inch Rack (14 monitor slots) |
| 01 (BB) | Mounting Options | Panel Mount Configuration |
| 05 (CC) | Agency Approval Option | Multiple Approvals (CSA, ATEX, CE, IECEx) |
| 00 (DD) | Reserved | None |
| 01 (EE) | European Compliance | CE Compliant |
The 3500/05 rack utilizes a passive backplane design to eliminate single points of failure in data communication.

Optimized Maintenance Access: The rear-access I/O design separates field wiring from the sensitive front-facing modules. This configuration allows technicians to swap or upgrade monitor modules without disturbing field terminations.
Redundant Power Infrastructure: The backplane supports dual-power supply modules. This redundancy ensures the machinery protection system remains active even if one primary power source fails.
Corrosion-Resistant Durability: Constructed from heavy-duty, industrial-grade metal, the 3500/05 chassis resists the corrosive atmospheres typical of oil & gas refineries and chemical processing plants.
Inter-Module Communication: The passive digital backplane facilitates rapid data exchange between monitors and the Rack Interface Module (RIM), enabling sophisticated diagnostic functions and unified alarm triggering.
What is the significance of the API 670 compliance?
API 670 defines the industry standard for machinery protection systems. Compliance ensures the 3500/05 rack meets specific requirements for reliability, response time, and hardware durability in critical asset protection.
How many modules can this specific rack hold?
The 3500/05-01-01-05-00-01 is a full-size rack. It accommodates up to 14 monitor modules, in addition to dedicated slots for two power supplies and one Rack Interface Module (RIM).
Can I convert a Panel Mount rack to a Rack Mount version?
While the internal backplane remains similar, the physical mounting ears and hardware differ. We recommend purchasing the correct dash code (01 for Panel Mount) to ensure a secure fit within your control cabinet.
