 Section 1 - Receiving and handling Instructions

1. Receiving and handling Instructions

1.1 Receiving Inspection
Visually inspect the module for obvious shipping damage. If you detect shipping
damage, file a claim with the carrier and submit a copy to Bently Nevada LLC.

1.2 Handling and Storage Considerations

Circuit boards contain devices that are susceptible to damage when exposed to
electrostatic charges. Damage caused by obvious mishandling of the board will
void the warranty. To avoid damage, observe the following precautions in the
order given.

Application Advisory

Machinery protection may be lost when

you remove this module from the rack.

• Do not discharge static electricity onto the circuit board. Avoid tools or
procedures that would subject the circuit board to static damage.
Some possible causes of static damage include ungrounded soldering
irons, nonconductive plastics, and similar materials.
• Use a suitable grounding strap (such as 3M Velostat® No. 2060) before
handling or performing maintenance on a printed circuit board.
• Transport and store circuit boards in electrically conductive bags or
foil.
• Use extra caution during dry weather. Relative humidity less than 30%
tends to multiply the accumulation of static charges on any surface.
When performed properly, you may install this module into or remove this module
from the rack while power is applied to the rack. Refer to the Rack Installation and
Maintenance Manual (part number 129766-01) for the proper procedure.

 Section 2 - General Information

2. General Information
The 3500 Power Supplies are half-height modules that you must install in the
specially designed slots at the left side of the rack. The 3500 rack can contain 1
or 2 ac or dc power supplies in any combination. Either supply can power a full
rack. If installed, the second supply acts as a backup for the primary supply.
Removing or inserting a power supply module will not disrupt operation of the
rack as long as a backup supply is installed.
The 3500 Power Supplies accept a wide range of input voltages and converts
them to voltages acceptable for use by other 3500 modules.

1. The Supply OK LED on the front of each power supply module indicates if all of the output voltages from that
supply are within specification.

Figure 2-1: Power Supply OK LED

2.1 Power Supply Versions

The 3500 Monitoring System offers 3 power supply versions:
1. the AC Power Supply,
2. the High Voltage DC Power Supply, and
3. the Low Voltage DC Power Supply.
The 3500 AC Power Supply uses 2 versions of the Power Input Module (PIM) to
accept 2 ranges of ac input voltages. The High Voltage AC PIM accepts inputs
from 175 to 264 Vac rms. The Low Voltage AC PIM accepts inputs from 85 to 132
Vac rms.

3
3500/15 AC and DC Power Supplies Operation and Maintenance Manual
The High Voltage DC Power Supply supports dc inputs from 88 to 140 Vdc. The
Low Voltage DC Power Supply supports dc inputs from 20 to 30 Vdc.

2.2 Single Power Supply

The 3500 will operate under fully loaded conditions with a single power supply. If
your installation will use a single power supply, we recommend that you install
the supply in the upper power supply slot.

2.3 Redundant Power Supplies

When you install 2 power supplies in a rack, the supply in the lower slot acts as
the primary supply and the supply in the upper slot acts as the backup supply. If
the primary supply fails, the backup supply will provide power to the rack without
interrupting rack operation.
Each supply provides power on an independent power distribution network. This
ensures that any failure in one power distribution network (e.g., a short in +5 volt
supply) will not affect the other supply.

Application Advisory

Triple Modular Redundant (TMR)

applications require redundant
power supplies.

2.4 CE Compliance Information

For systems installed in areas that must comply with EN61000.3.2, the equipment
shall only be used in industrial environment with a connection to the industrial
power supply network. If the system is connected to the public power supply
mains, the system must meet EN61000.3.2 by using a 3rd-party device that
provides power factor correction.

2.5 Low Voltage Directive Compliance

To comply with EN 61010-01 Low Voltage Directive the PIM Connector Shield
should be orientated properly. If the shield is not installed as in Figure 2-2,
carefully remove the shield and replace it in the correct orientation. Failure to
correctly place the connector shield will make the power terminals accessible to
an operator.

 Section 3 - Configuration Information

3. Configuration Information
Configuration is the process of identifying the type of Power Supply and setting
operating parameters. To configure a Power Supply, use this section to gather
configuration information and then use the Rack Configuration Software to set
the options and download the settings to the rack. The Rack Configuration and
Utilities Guide explains how to connect a computer to a rack and run the Rack
Configuration Software.

3.1 Software Configuration Options

The Power Supply configuration field is on the option screen of the Rack Interface
Module, as shown in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1: Power Supply Configuration (Option) Field

You can use any combination of the following Power Supply options in the upper
and lower slots of the rack:
• None (if you select one of the following options for the other slot)
• AC High Voltage
• AC Low Voltage
• DC High Voltage
• DC Low Voltage

 Section 4 - Power Input Module Information

4. Power Input Module Information

The Power Input Module (PIM) is a half-height module that connects the power
source to the power supply. Install the Power Input Module behind the power
supply (in a rack mount or a panel mount rack) or above the power supply (in a
bulkhead rack). For example, if you install the power supply in the upper slot then
you must install its Power Input Module in the upper slot. Removal or insertion of
a Power Input Module will not disrupt operation of the 3500 rack as long as the
other power supply and its associated Power Input Module are installed.

4.1 AC Power Input Module (Low Voltage Version)

Use the low voltage AC Power Input Module, shown in Figure 4-1, when you will
use low voltage ac (85 to 132 Vac rms) to power the rack.

4.5 Connecting Single-Point Ground

To avoid ground loops, the system must provide a single point ground. The Power
Input Modules provide a switch that lets you control where your system is
grounded. If your rack uses 2 power supplies then you must set both switches to
the same position. A CLOSED switch grounds the system through the GND
terminal on the terminal strip connector. If you ground your system at another
location, such as when using internal/external barriers, you must ensure that the
switch on each Power Input Module is OPENED. Figure 4-5 shows you how to set
the switch to the desired position. For most racks the switch will be set to CLOSED
at the factory. If Internal Barriers are installed at the factory the switch will be set
to the OPENED position.

DANGER
High voltages can persist on the power supplies and
Power Input Modules for several minutes after you
remove the modules from the rack. High voltages can
result in shock, burns, or death. Always wait several
minutes after disconnecting power before attempting
to handle the power supplies or Power Input Modules.

1. When the switch is moved to this side (towards the rack) the switch is in the CLOSED position.
2. When the switch is moved to this side (away from the rack) the switch is in the OPENED position.
3. Grounding switch. Depending on model, this switch could be located directly above or below the input connector.

Figure 4-5: Power Input Module Grounding Switch

NOTE
For systems with internal/external
barriers, refer to the 3500 Field Wiring
Diagram Package for grounding
requirements.

1. Remove the line cord protection cover from the terminal strip connector.
2. Remove the Phillips screw that holds the sheet metal cover on the Power
Input Module from the side of the module.
3. Loosen the 2 screws that hold the chassis ground clip below the Terminal
Strip connector. Remove the chassis ground clip.
4. Disengage the sheet metal tab on the bottom of the sheet metal cover
and slide the sheet metal cover over the Terminal Strip connector.
5. Slide the chassis grounding switch to the desired position.
6. Replace the cover and the chassis ground clip on the Power Input Module.

WARNING

The power supply and Power Input

Module shields may become very hot
during rack operation. Contact with hot
shields may cause burns. Exercise
caution when touching or handling
power supplies and Power Input Modules.

If the Power Supply OK LED is off, check the following items:

1. Verify that the supply voltage to the Power Input Module is correct.
2. Verify that the installed Power Input Module type matches the installed
power supply (e.g., you are using an AC Power Input Module with the ac
version of the power supply).
3. Determine whether the fuse on the Power Input Module is blown. If the
fuse is blown, replace it.
A blown fuse may be due to a severe overvoltage on the Power Input
Module or a fault within the 3500 Power Supply.
4. If steps 1 through 3 do not solve the problem, install a new Power Supply.
