Bently Nevada 3500/15 114M5335-01 Low Voltage DC Power Input Module

Overview

The Bently Nevada 3500/15 114M5335-01 is a Low Voltage DC Power Input Module (PIM) engineered for the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. As a half-height rear-mounted module, it interfaces with the 3500/15 Low Voltage DC Power Supply to convert a 20–30 Vdc input into regulated DC power for all rack-mounted monitoring and protection modules. This PIM is purpose-built for critical rotating machinery applications—including turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors—where stable, uninterrupted DC power is essential.

Specifications & Parameters

Key Features & Characteristics

• Wide DC Input Range: Accepts 20–30 Vdc, making it compatible with standard 24 Vdc industrial battery and UPS systems commonly deployed in process plants and offshore platforms.
• Redundant Power Architecture: The 3500 rack supports dual power supply configurations. When two supplies are installed, the module in the lower slot functions as the primary source, while the module in the upper slot serves as the backup. Upon primary failure, the backup assumes the full rack load instantaneously and without system interruption.
• Hot-Swap Capability: Under redundant configurations, either the power supply or the PIM can be removed or inserted without disrupting rack operation, provided the second supply remains active. This feature is critical for online maintenance in continuous-process industries.
• Front-Panel Status Indication: The associated power supply module features a Supply OK LED that provides immediate visual confirmation of proper DC output regulation and overall power supply health.
• Compact Half-Height Design: The PIM’s slim 25.4 mm (1.0 in) width maximizes available rack real estate, leaving the full complement of slots available for monitoring, communication, and relay modules.
• Overvoltage & Undervoltage Protection: An under-voltage condition will not damage the supply or the PIM. An over-voltage event causes the PIM fuse to open, protecting downstream 3500 modules from electrical stress.
• No Minimum Load Requirement: The 3500/15 power system operates correctly even with a lightly populated rack, eliminating concerns about minimum module counts.

Installation Guidelines

1. Rack Positioning: The 3500/15 Power Supply and its associated PIM must be installed in the designated half-height slots on the left side of the 3500 rack. The PIM mounts directly behind its corresponding power supply module (114M5330-01).
2. Dual-Supply Configuration: For redundancy, install one supply in the lower slot (primary) and the second in the upper slot (backup). Any combination of AC and DC supplies is permitted—allowing, for example, a primary 120 Vac supply with a backup 24 Vdc UPS supply.

3. Single-Supply Configuration: If only one power supply is required, leave the second slot empty or install a blank front panel (P/N 131150-01).
4. Wiring: Use the replacement connector P/N 118M0915-02 for DC Power Input Module wiring. Ensure correct polarity, adequate wire gauge for up to 11 A, and proper grounding per local electrical codes.
5. Environmental Compliance: Install within the specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid condensing environments to prevent moisture ingress and terminal corrosion.

Repair & Maintenance

• Fuse Replacement: The 114M5335-01 uses replacement fuse P/N 01720045, which is specific to the Low Voltage DC PIM. Always verify the redundant supply is active and the Supply OK LED is illuminated on the backup before removing the primary PIM for fuse service.
• Module Replacement: Thanks to hot-swap support, a faulty 114M5335-01 can be replaced while the rack remains powered by the redundant supply. After insertion, confirm the Supply OK LED on the front power supply module illuminates steadily.
• Troubleshooting: If the Supply OK LED is extinguished:
  • Verify input voltage at the PIM terminals is within 20–30 Vdc.
  • Inspect and replace fuse P/N 01720045 if an over-voltage event is suspected.
  • Confirm rack load does not exceed the 11.0 A maximum.
  • Check for loose or corroded DC input connections.
  • Persistent failure typically indicates internal PIM or power supply module degradation requiring full module replacement.
• Spare Parts Strategy: Maintain on-site spares of both the PIM (114M5335-01) and its front power supply module (114M5330-01) to minimize Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) in critical machinery protection loops.
