1 Receiving and Handling Instructions
1.1 Receiving Inspection
Visually inspect the module for obvious shipping damage. If shipping damage is
apparent, file a claim with the carrier and submit a copy to Bently Nevada
Corporation.
1.2 Handling and Storing Considerations
Circuit boards contain devices that are susceptible to damage when exposed to
electrostatic charges. Damage caused by obvious mishandling of the board will
void the warranty. To avoid damage, observe the following precautions in the
order given.
Application Alert
Machinery protection
may be lost when this
module is removed
from the rack.
• Do not discharge static electricity onto the circuit board. Avoid tools or
procedures that would subject the circuit board to static damage. Some
possible causes include ungrounded soldering irons, nonconductive plastics,
and similar materials.
• Personnel must be grounded with a suitable grounding strap (such as 3M
Velostat No. 2060) before handling or maintaining a printed circuit board.
• Transport and store circuit boards in electrically conductive bags or foil.
• Use extra caution during dry weather. Relative humidity less than 30% tends
to multiply the accumulation of static charges on any surface.
• When performed properly, this module may be installed into or removed from
the rack while power is applied to the rack. Refer to the Rack Installation and
Maintenance Manual (part number 129766-01) for the proper procedure.

2 General Information 3500/15 Operation and Maintenance
2 General Information
The 3500 Power Supplies are half-height modules and must be installed in the
specially designed slots at the left side of the rack. The 3500 rack can contain
one or two power supplies (any combination of AC and DC). Either supply can
power a full rack. If installed, the second supply acts as a backup for the
primary supply. Removing or inserting a power supply module will not disrupt
operation of the rack as long as a backup supply is installed.
The 3500 Power Supplies accept a wide range of input voltages and converts
them to voltages acceptable for use by other 3500 modules.
1) The Supply OK LED on the front of
each power supply module indicates if
all of the output voltages from that
supply are within specification.
2
3500/15 Operation and Maintenance 2 General Information
2.1 Power Supply Versions
Three Power Supply versions are available with the 3500 Monitoring System: the
AC Power Supply, the High Voltage DC Power Supply, and the Low Voltage DC
Power Supply.
The 3500 AC Power Supply accepts two ranges of AC input voltages by using
two versions of the Power Input Module (PIM). The High Voltage AC PIM
accepts inputs from 175 to 250 Vac rms. The Low Voltage AC PIM accepts
inputs from 85 to 125 Vac rms.
The High Voltage DC supply supports DC inputs from 88 to 140 Vdc. The Low
Voltage DC Supply supports DC inputs from 20 to 30 Vdc.
2.2 Single Power Supply
The 3500 will operate under fully loaded conditions with a single power supply.
When a single power supply is used, it is recommended that the supply be
located in the upper position.
2.3 Redundant Power Supplies
When two power supplies are installed in a rack, the supply in the lower slot acts
as the primary supply and the supply in the upper slot acts as the backup supply.
If the primary supply fails, the backup supply will provide power to the rack
without interrupting rack operation.
Each supply provides power on an independent power distribution network. This
ensures that any failure in one power distribution network (example: short in +5
volt supply) will not affect the second supply.
Note
Redundant power supplies are required for Triple Modular Redundant (TMR)
applications.
2.4 CE Compliance information
For systems installed in areas that require compliance to EN61000.3.2, the
equipment shall only be used in industrial environment with a connection to the
industrial power supply network. If the system is connected to the public power
supply mains, EN61000.3.2 must be met by using a third party device that
provides power factor correction.

3 Configuration Information 3500/15 Operation and Maintenance
3 Configuration Information
The process of identifying the type of Power Supply and setting operating
parameters is called configuration. To configure a Power Supply, use this
section to gather configuration information, then use the Rack Configuration
Software to set the options and download the settings to the rack. The Rack
Configuration and Utilities Guide explains how to connect a computer to a rack
and run the Rack Configuration Software.
3.1 Software Configuration Options
The Power Supply configuration field is on the option screen of the Rack
Interface Module.
Any combination of the following Power Supply options can be used in the upper
and lower slots of the rack:

3500/15 Operation and Maintenance 4 I/O Modules Description
4.5 Connecting Single Point Ground
To avoid ground loops, the system must provide a single point ground. The
Power Input Modules come with a switch that lets you control where the system
is grounded. If two Power Supplies are installed then both switches need to be
set to the same position. A CLOSED switch grounds the system through the
GND terminal on the Terminal Strip connector. If the system is grounded at
another location, such as when internal/external barriers are used, you need to
be sure the switch is OPENED. The following figure and steps show how to set
the switch to the desired position. For most racks the switch will be set to
CLOSED at the factory; if Internal Barriers are installed at the factory the switch
will be set to the OPENED position.
1) When the switch is
pushed to this side the
switch is in the CLOSED
position.
2) When the switch is
pushed to this side the
switch is in the OPENED
position.
3) Grounding switch.
Depending on model, this
switch could be located
directly above or below the
input connector.
CAUTION
Disconnect primary power
before servicing Power Input
Module!
