3500 System Introduction

The 3500 System provides continuous, online monitoring suitable for machinery protection applications, and is designed to meet the requirements of the American Petroleum Institute’s API 670 standard for such systems. The system’s modular rack-based design includes the following components:

1.3500/05 Instrument Rack (required)

2.One or two 3500/15 Power Supplies (required)

3.3500/22M Transient Data Interface (TDI) Module (required)

4.One or more 3500/XX Monitor Modules (required)

5.One or more 3500/32M (4-channel) or 3500/33 (16-channel)

3500/15

The 3500/15 Power Supply is a half-height module and must be installed in designated slots on the left side of the rack. The 3500 rack can contain one ortwo power supplies with any combinations of AC and DC. Either supply can power a fullrack. 

When two power supplies are installed in a rack, the one in the lower slot acts as the primary supply, and the otherin the upper slot acts as the backup supply. If installed, the second supply is the backup forthe primary one.

Removing orinserting either power supply module does not disrupt operation of the rack as long as a second power supply is installed.

The 3500/15 Power Supply accepts a wide range of input voltages and converts them to voltages acceptable for use by other 3500 modules. The following power supplies are available with the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System:

1. Legacy AC Power

2. Universal AC Power

3. High Voltage DC Power Supply

4. Low Voltage DC Power Supply
