Product Description
The Bently Nevada 3500/15 is a high-availability universal power supply system designed for the 3500 rack. The combination of the 106M1081-01 power supply module and the 106M2686-02 input module allows the system to accept a wide range of AC voltages without the need for manual jumper settings. This module converts source power into the regulated DC voltages required by the rack’s backplane. Its redundant design capabilities ensure that if one power supply fails, the remaining supply will carry the full load of the rack without interrupting machinery protection services.
Application Areas
- Critical Machinery Protection: Powering vibration monitoring racks for large-scale turbines and compressors.
- Continuous Monitoring: Ensuring 24/7 data acquisition in power generation facilities.
- Hazardous Environments: Providing stable power to monitoring systems in oil refineries and LNG plants.
- Industrial Automation: Centralized power sourcing for 3500-series racks in water treatment and mining operations.

Product Specifications
- Weight: 1.27 kg (Combined assembly)
- Dimensions: 24.1 cm x 5.0 cm x 10.3 cm
- Country of Origin: United States (USA)
- Mounting Slot: Left-most slots of the 3500 rack (Power Slots)
Operating Precautions
- Redundancy Configuration: When using redundant power supplies, both modules must be connected to independent power sources for maximum reliability.
- Grounding: The 106M2686-02 input module must be securely connected to the safety earth ground of the rack to ensure EMI compliance and operator safety.
- Hot-Swapping: While the 3500/15 is hot-swappable in a redundant configuration, ensure the “OK” LED on the remaining supply is green before removing the faulty unit.
- Ventilation: Do not block the cooling vents on the front of the module; excessive heat can reduce the lifespan of the internal electrolytic capacitors.
