Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 3500/15 133300-01 is a dedicated Power Input Module (PIM). It pairs directly with the Low Voltage DC Power Supply. This half-height module mounts behind its associated power supply. The PIM accepts 20 to 30 Vdc input from an external source. It also provides critical over-voltage protection via an internal fuse. This module is essential for safe and reliable rack power distribution.

Technical Specifications

Input and Power Characteristics

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

• Full Rack Current Draw: Supports up to 11.0 A maximum.

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

• Minimum Loading: No minimum rack load is required.

Physical Dimensions

• Height: 120.7 mm (4.75 inches)

• Width: 25.4 mm (1.0 inch)

• Depth: 114.3 mm (4.5 inches)

• Weight: 0.34 kg (0.75 lb)

Rack Space Requirements

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

• Power Supply Slots: Two half-height slots on the left side of the rack. Each slot holds one power supply and its PIM.

Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install the Bently Nevada 3500/15 133300-01.

1. Power down the entire 3500 rack system completely.

2. Locate the half-height slot behind the power supply position.

3. Slide the PIM into the dedicated half-height slot.

4. Ensure the PIM sits directly behind its associated power supply.

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

6. For redundant configuration, install a second PIM with the second supply.

7. Power on the system and verify the Supply OK LED on the power supply.

Redundancy Configuration

You can use two 133300-01 modules for high availability systems.

• Each power supply requires its own dedicated PIM.

• Both PIMs mount directly behind their respective supplies.

• Use two separate external DC sources for full input redundancy.

• The PIM fuse protects each supply independently.

• 1 x Terminal connector kit for DC input wiring

• 1 x Installation instruction sheet

Common FAQs

Q1: What is the function of the 133300-01 PIM?
A: The Power Input Module connects external DC power to the 3500/15 supply. It also provides over-voltage protection through an internal fuse.

Q2: Does the Bently Nevada 3500/15 133300-01 work with any power supply?
A: No, this PIM only works with the Low Voltage DC Power Supply option. Do not use it with high voltage AC supplies.

Q3: What happens during an over-voltage condition?
A: The fuse on the 133300-01 opens to protect the system. You must replace the PIM after a fuse failure.

Q4: Can I use this PIM in a hazardous area?
A: Yes, the Bently Nevada 3500/15 133300-01 has cNRTLus and ATEX Zone 2 approvals. It is rated for Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 locations.

Q5: Where does this module mount inside the 3500 rack?
A: The PIM mounts in a special half-height slot directly behind its power supply. Each power supply requires one dedicated PIM behind it.
