Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 3500/15 133292-01 powers your entire 3500 rack system. This Low Voltage DC Power Supply Module works with a dedicated Power Input Module (PIM). You can install one or two units for redundancy. Two half-height slots on the rack left side hold these supplies. The module operates in extreme temperatures from -30°C to +65°C.

Technical Specifications

Input and Power Characteristics

• Input Voltage Range: Accepts 20 to 30 Vdc nominal.

• Full Rack Current Draw: Maximum draw is 11.0 A.

• Out of Range Protection: Under-voltage does not harm the supply or PIM. Over-voltage opens the fuse on the PIM.

• Minimum Loading: No minimum rack load is required for operation.

Output and Status Indication

• Front Panel LED: Supply OK LED indicates normal operation.

• Redundant Operation: Both half-height slots can hold power supplies simultaneously. This allows for true redundant power configuration.

Physical Dimensions

• Height: 120.7 mm (4.75 inches)

• Width: 50.8 mm (2.0 inches)

• Depth: 251.5 mm (9.9 inches)

• Weight: 1.39 kg (3.06 lb)

• Rack Space: Occupies two half-height slots on the left side of the rack.

Power Input Module (PIM)

• Location: Special half-height module directly behind the associated power supply.

• Function: Provides input connections and over-voltage protection via fuse.

Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install the Bently Nevada 3500/15 133292-01.

1. Power down the entire 3500 rack system completely.

2. Locate the two half-height slots on the left side of the rack.

3. Slide the power supply module into either slot.

4. Install the Power Input Module (PIM) directly behind the supply.

5. Connect 20-30 Vdc input power to the PIM terminals.

6. For redundancy, install a second supply in the remaining slot.

7. Power on the system and verify the Supply OK LED is lit.

Redundancy Configuration

You can install two Bently Nevada 3500/15 133292-01 modules for high availability.

• Both supplies share the load under normal conditions.

• If one supply fails, the other continues to power the rack.

• Use two separate external DC sources for full redundancy.

• The system operates without interruption during supply replacement.

Common FAQs

Q1: What input voltage does the 3500/15 133292-01 require?
A: This Low Voltage DC Power Supply Module accepts 20 to 30 Vdc input. Do not exceed 30 Vdc to avoid PIM fuse damage.

Q2: Can I use two power supplies in one 3500 rack?
A: Yes, the rack has two half-height slots for power supplies. Installing two Bently Nevada 3500/15 133292-01 units provides full redundancy.

Q3: What happens if the input voltage drops too low?
A: Under-voltage does not harm the supply or the PIM. The module simply stops providing output until voltage returns to normal.

Q4: Does this power supply work in cold outdoor environments?
A: Yes, the operating temperature range is -30°C to +65°C. This makes it suitable for cold outdoor installations.

Q5: What maritime certifications does the 3500/15 133292-01 hold?
A: This power supply holds DNV GL and ABS certifications. It is approved for ships, offshore units, and steel vessels.
