Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 170180-01-05 acts as the primary energy hub for the 3500 Machinery Protection System. As a 3500/15 High Voltage AC Power Supply, it converts wide-range AC input into the regulated DC voltages required by every monitoring, relay, and communication module within the rack. This specific configuration ensures that your critical vibration and displacement data remains uninterrupted. We supply this unit as 100% New and Original, ensuring your protection system operates with maximum uptime and precision.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Redundant Reliability: You can install two 170180-01-05 modules in a single 3500 rack. If one supply fails, the second module immediately assumes the full load without interrupting machinery protection or data collection.

• Universal Voltage Compatibility: The module accepts any voltage between 85 and 264 VAC. This eliminates the need for site-specific transformers, simplifying global deployments in diverse power environments.

• Load Stabilization: It provides clean, regulated power that isolates sensitive monitoring electronics from line noise and voltage spikes typical in heavy industrial plants.

• Streamlined Rack Integration: The slim 3.1 cm profile allows for efficient airflow within the 3500 rack, preventing heat buildup that could compromise the lifespan of adjacent Proximitor® or Relay modules.

FAQs

Does the 170180-01-05 support both High Voltage AC and Low Voltage DC?

No. The 170180-01-05 is specifically the High Voltage AC version (85–264 VAC). If your site provides 24 VDC or 110 VDC as the primary source, you require a different 3500/15 variant. Always verify your input power source before installation.

Can I mix a 170180-01-05 with an older 3500/15 power supply for redundancy?

Bently Nevada recommends using identical part numbers for redundant pairs to ensure balanced load sharing and synchronized output. Mixing different generations or voltage variants can lead to uneven wear or system errors.

What are the primary indicators of module health?

The module features front-panel LEDs. A green "Supply OK" light confirms the module is operating within voltage tolerances. If the light vanishes, the module's internal diagnostics have detected a fault or an input power loss.

How do I install the module in a 3500 rack?

Slide the 170180-01-05 into either of the two leftmost slots (dedicated power supply slots) of the 3500 rack. Ensure the locking tabs click into place to maintain a secure electrical connection to the backplane.
