1.  Overview
1.1  Introduction
The Bently Nevada Asset Protection and Monitoring Cabinets (models BNAPMC-01 and BNAPMC-
04) provide an industrial solution for machinery protection instruments as well as network
hardware. Designs are specifically focused on ease of field wiring termination, protecting
personnel from accidental contact with the enclosed electrical instruments, and protecting the
instruments against specified environmental conditions.
Installation, commissioning, and maintenance on the BNAPMCs should only be performed by
authorized, qualified personnel.
This user guide refers to a cabinet containing all possible features available in a BNAPMC. Refer to
the enclosed drawing package for the exact features that are included in your cabinet.

1.2  Use of This Manual and Safety Labels

This manual will serve as a "Getting Started" Guide and gives general information needed for
safety. It should be used in conjunction with the drawing package and product manuals DVD
found in the documentation pocket on the inside face of the front door of the cabinet.
Pay careful attention to safety warning labels. Safety labels are posted on the cabinet itself, where
necessary, to inform the user of potential risks. Additionally, further information may be added to
the user guide(s).
An example of a safety label is shown below.
