Description

The Bently Nevada 136703-01 is a 3500/50 Tachometer Monitor I/O module designed for machinery protection and speed measurement applications in hazardous area environments. The 136703-01 provides explosion protection as an intrinsically safe interface connected directly to the 3500 Machinery Protection System backplane and transducer systems.

Features

  • Integrates intrinsically safe internal barriers directly into the 3500 Machinery Protection System rack interface
  • Designed specifically for connection to 3500/50 Tachometer Monitors with internal terminations
  • Preserves system performance without degradation caused by external barriers
  • Provides intrinsically safe earthing connection through the 3500 system backplane via dedicated IS Earthing Module
  • Allows mixed installations of standard and internal barrier I/O module types within the same 3500 rack

Applications

  • Machinery protection and speed monitoring in hazardous process areas
  • Industrial rotating machinery including turbines, compressors, and large pumps

Installation Guidelines

  • Requires a 3500/04-01 IS Earthing Module installed in the same rack to provide the internal barrier IS earth connection.
  • Standard 19-inch racks equipped with IS Earthing Modules are limited to 13 monitor positions.
  • Internal barrier I/O modules increase overall rack depth by approximately 50 mm (2 in) to provide required 50 mm (2 in) separation between hazardous and safe area field wiring.
  • Route hazardous area field wiring above the 3500 rack and safe area field wiring below the 3500 rack.
  • Group internal barrier I/O modules in adjacent rack positions to simplify field wiring separation.
  • Not compatible with Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) rack configurations or magnetic pick-up transducers.

FAQ

Which monitor module is compatible with the 136703-01 I/O module?

The module operates specifically with the 3500/50 Tachometer Monitor in the 3500 Machinery Protection System.

What firmware version is required on the 3500/50 monitor for internal barrier operation?

The 3500/50 Tachometer Monitor requires firmware version 1.05 Revision E or later.

Does the internal barrier module require a separate earthing module in the rack?

Yes, any rack containing internal barrier modules must include a 3500/04-01 IS Earthing Module to provide backplane earth ground connection.

Are magnetic pick-up sensors supported by this internal barrier module?

No, magnetic pick-up transducer systems are explicitly not supported by the 3500 internal barrier system.
