BENTLY 3500/05-01-01-00-00-01
Product Introduction
BENTLY 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00 is a full-size 19-inch EIA system rack designed to house all 3500 monitor modules and rack power supplies. It provides the necessary backplane communication for modules to interact and allocates power as required by each installed module.
This specific configuration denotes a full-size frame (14 available module slots) with a bulkhead mount installation option. The 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00 features a robust metal chassis designed for harsh industrial environments, offering high-density module installation capability suitable for limited spaces.
Key Technical Specifications

- Protection Level: IP20
- Operating Temp: -30 °C to +65 °C
- Compatibility: All 3500 Series Monitor, Relay, and Communication Modules
Quality Control Process (Engineer’s Perspective)
- Incoming Verification: Trace source via serial number. Inspect backplane connectors for bent pins or debris.
- Visual Inspection: Verify chassis structural integrity, bulkhead mounting points, and grounding points.
- Backplane Continuity Test: Measure resistance across backplane power and ground planes.
- Slot Mechanical Test: Verify card guide alignment and module insertion/extraction smoothness.
- Final QC & Packaging: Apply QC Passed label with date. Package with original bulkhead mounting hardware.
Replacement Pitfall Guide
❗ Slot Allocation: The 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00 has 14 slots, but the leftmost positions are strictly reserved for the power supply and Rack Interface Module (RIM). Plan your monitor module layout accordingly.
❗ Mounting Format: This is a bulkhead mount frame. Do not confuse with panel mount (01) or standard 19-inch EIA rack mount (02) formats.
❗ Mini-Rack Confusion: This is a full-size 14-slot rack. Do not substitute with a 3500/05-02 (12-inch mini-rack with 7 slots) unless you have verified module space requirements.
❗ RIM Requirement: This frame requires a 3500/20 Rack Interface Module in the first slot for configuration and communication. The frame cannot be configured without it.
❗ Backplane Handling: Never force modules into slots. Bent backplane pins are the #1 cause of frame-level failures during replacement.
Keep these in mind and you’ll cut 90% of rework time.
