Description
The BENTLY NEVADA 128276-01 is a 3500 Series half-height future expansion accessory designed for Bently Nevada machinery protection racks. It is used to cover unused half-height module positions and maintain proper rack configuration when additional monitoring modules may be installed in the future.
The 128276-01 is a mechanical rack accessory rather than an active monitoring module. It helps maintain the physical layout, airflow management, and protection of open positions within a 3500 monitoring system rack.
🔧 Function Description
The 128276-01 provides a blank faceplate solution for unused half-height slots in Bently Nevada 3500 Series racks. It prevents exposed openings in the rack assembly and keeps the cabinet installation organized.
When additional monitoring modules are required, the future expansion cover can be removed and replaced with compatible 3500 Series modules.
