3500/07E Bently Nevada ENCORE Series System Rack Monitor Module

Description:

The 3500 ENCORE System rack design holds all 3500 ENCORE monitor modules and rack power supplies. It allows the various 3500 ENCORE modules to communicate with one another and the power supplies to distribute power to each module as required.

3500 ENCORE Racks are available in four sizes:

• 14 Position with 12 monitors
• 12 Position with 10 monitors
• 10 Position with 8 monitors
• 8 Position with 6 monitors

3500 racks are available in two formats:

• Panel mount 

This rack format mounts to rectangular cut-outs in panels, and secures to the panel using clamps supplied with the rack.Wiring connections and I/O modules are accessible from the rear of the rack.

•  Rack mount 

This rack format mounts the 8 position 3500 ENCORE System rack on 19-inch EIA rails. Wiring connections and I/O modules are accessible from the rear of the rack.

The Power Supplies and Rack Interface Module must occupy the far left rack positions. The remaining rack positions are available for any combination of modules. 

Features:

• Power Conversion

Converts and regulates the unregulated DC input from an external power source into a stable and isolated DC voltage required by all monitoring modules within the rack.

• Redundant Power Supply

Designed for pair installation in a 3500 rack, the two power modules share the load. If one power supply fails, the other automatically takes over the entire load, ensuring uninterrupted system operation and achieving high availability.

• Status Monitoring and Communication

The module has built-in diagnostics to monitor its own status and transmits this status information to the frame interface module via backplane communication, ultimately uploading it to the host computer monitoring system.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What are the main input/output characteristics of the 3500/07E?
Input Voltage: Various models are available to accommodate different field power supplies.
Common models include:
24 VDC (e.g., 3500/07E-01-01-00)
125 VDC (e.g., 3500/07E-02-01-00)

Output Voltage: Provides multiple isolated DC voltages for the frame, such as ±15 VDC, +5 VDC, etc., for use by all monitoring modules.

2.What are some common causes of power supply failure?

1. Input power supply issues: Input voltage is too high, too low, or fluctuates excessively.
2. Environmental issues: High ambient temperature inside the cabinet triggers module overheat protection.
3. Overload: Too many modules are installed in the frame, exceeding the power supply's rated power consumption.
4. Internal component aging: Components such as capacitors and power transistors fail over time.
5. External interference or impact: Lightning strikes, power grid surges, etc., can also damage the power supply.
