The 3500/05 System Rack (part number 131151-01) is the main chassis (backplane) for the Bently Nevada 3500 series machinery protection system. This specific version is the full-size, 19-inch rack designed to house all 3500 monitoring modules, power supplies, and communication I/O modules used in critical rotating machinery protection.
Key Features
Provides mechanical structure and backplane communication for up to 14 modules.
Supports redundant power supply installation (dual power supply slots).
Includes internal backplane for data and power distribution among modules.
Designed for standard 19-inch instrument cabinet mounting.
Compatible with all 3500 series monitors (e.g., 3500/40, 3500/42, 3500/25, 3500/32, 3500/15).

Notes
The 131151-01 rack includes the backplane assembly. No power supplies or monitoring modules are included.
Standard configuration includes termination I/O modules for field wiring (sold separately, e.g., 3500/60, 3500/61).
Always use slot 1 for communication I/O and slots 14/15 for power supplies (refer to 3500 rack configuration manual).
For redundant applications, two 3500/15 AC or DC power supplies are recommended.
