BENTLY 3500/15 106M1079 – 01: Universal AC Power Supply Module Product Introduction
1. Product Overview
The BENTLY 3500/15 106M1079 – 01 is a universal AC power supply module, an essential component within the BENTLY NEVADA 3500 series machinery protection system. Engineered to provide reliable power distribution, it plays a critical role in maintaining the seamless operation of various industrial applications.
2. Key Features
Universal AC Input: It accepts a wide input voltage range from 85 to 264 VAC RMS. This wide – ranging compatibility makes it suitable for use in different regions and with various power sources, eliminating the need for complex voltage conversion systems in most cases. For example, in a multinational industrial plant with power supplies varying across different production areas, the 3500/15 106M1079 – 01 can adapt to these differences without issue.
Half – Height Design: Its half – height form factor is designed to fit neatly into the designated slots on the left – hand side of the 3500 series racks. This compact design not only saves space within the rack but also allows for efficient integration with other modules in the system. It can be installed either as a single power supply or in combination with another power supply module, providing flexibility in system configuration.
Power Conversion and Distribution: The module efficiently converts the input AC voltages to levels that are suitable for powering other 3500 series modules. It ensures stable and consistent power delivery to all connected components, such as the 140734 – 01 Proximitor monitor module. By providing reliable power, it enables these modules to accurately measure and monitor machinery parameters without disruptions due to power fluctuations.
Redundancy Support: When two power supplies are installed in a 3500 series rack, the lower – slotted power supply (which could be the 3500/15 106M1079 – 01) functions as the primary supply, while the upper – slotted one acts as a backup. In the event of a primary power supply failure, the backup immediately takes over, ensuring continuous operation of the entire 3500 series system. This redundancy feature is crucial for applications where uninterrupted machinery monitoring is essential, such as in power generation plants or oil and gas refineries.

Before installation, ensure that the 3500 series rack is powered off and properly grounded.
Align the 3500/15 106M1079 – 01 module with the designated left – hand side slot of the rack. Gently slide it into place until the backplane connector is fully engaged.
Secure the module in the rack using the appropriate mounting hardware provided.
Commissioning:
After installation, power on the 3500 series rack.
Check the LED indicators on the power supply module. A steady green LED typically indicates proper power input and normal operation.
Monitor the power output using appropriate testing equipment to ensure that it is providing the correct voltages to the connected modules.
5. Applications
Power Generation Plants: In power generation plants, the 3500/15 106M1079 – 01 powers a variety of monitoring modules that keep track of turbines, generators, and other critical rotating equipment. For instance, it supplies power to the 140734 – 01 Proximitor monitor module, which measures the radial vibration of turbine shafts. By ensuring stable power supply, it helps in the accurate monitoring of equipment health, preventing unexpected breakdowns and ensuring a stable power supply to the grid.
Oil and Gas Refineries: In refineries, where continuous operation is crucial, the power supply module powers modules that monitor pumps, compressors, and motors. It ensures that modules measuring the thrust position of compressor shafts or the vibration of pumps receive a stable power source. This is essential for early detection of issues like cavitation or seal failures, maintaining the continuous production process in the refinery.
Manufacturing Facilities: In manufacturing plants, especially those with high – speed production lines, the 3500/15 106M1079 – 01 powers monitoring modules for motors, gearboxes, and other rotating components. It enables the 140734 – 01 module to measure the eccentricity of motor shafts accurately. By providing reliable power, it helps operators detect early signs of component wear, reducing downtime and improving overall production efficiency.
6. Compatibility and Related Modules
Compatibility with 3500 Series: The 3500/15 106M1079 – 01 is fully compatible with all other modules in the 3500 series, including the 140734 – 01 Proximitor monitor module, the 3500/92 – 02 – 01 – 00 communication gateway module, and the 3500/33 – 01 – 00 vibration monitor module. This compatibility allows for seamless integration and data flow within the 3500 series machinery protection system.
Redundant Power Configuration: As mentioned earlier, it can be installed in a redundant power configuration with another 3500/15 power supply module (such as the 3500/15 106M1081 – 01). This redundancy setup ensures high availability of power to the entire 3500 series system, minimizing the risk of system failures due to power – related issues.
7. Maintenance and Service
Maintenance:
Regular visual inspections are recommended, at least once a quarter. Check for any signs of overheating, such as discolored components or a burnt smell. Also, look for loose connections or signs of physical damage.
Periodically clean the module surface with a dry, lint – free cloth to prevent dust accumulation, which could potentially affect its performance.
