Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 3500/94M-03-00-00 is a high-visibility System Display designed to provide local visualization of data for the 3500 Machinery Protection System. This 10-inch VGA Display unit allows operators to view monitor status, current values, and system data directly on the rack or at a remote panel. This specific configuration (Option 03) is intended for Panel Mount installation and includes all necessary hardware. It is a New & Original product, supplied in factory packing with a 12-month factory warranty.

Core Technical Advantages

Built for the rigors of industrial use, the 3500/94M-03-00-00 features an industrial-hardened Advantech display with a GFG Resistive Touch Screen. The unit is designed to handle extreme environmental conditions, boasting an operating temperature range of -20°C to 65°C. With a low power consumption of only 4.6 watts for the VGA module and a 24 Vdc input for the display, it provides an energy-efficient yet powerful interface for critical machinery diagnostics.

Physical Characteristics & Weight

The 3500/94M system is composed of several high-durability components with specific physical profiles. The VGA Display Module itself weighs 0.73 kg (1.6 lb), while the corresponding I/O Module weighs 0.34 kg (0.75 lb). The 10" Advantech Display unit (ANA-D3510-100-A1) is a robust assembly with a weight of 4.0 kg (8.78 lb), bringing the total shipping weight of the system to approximately 5.07 kg. These components are designed to fit into standard rack spaces, requiring one full-height front slot and one full-height rear slot.

Technical Specifications

System Integration & Requirements

The 3500/94M is not a standalone monitor; it is a module that integrates directly into the 3500 rack system. It occupies one full-height front slot for the monitor module and one full-height rear slot for the I/O module. For proper operation, this display requires the 3500/22 Transient Data Interface (TDI) module and specific firmware/software versions (Firmware 4.06 or newer). The display communicates via a high-speed network to pull real-time monitor status and values, while the front port handles 24 Vdc power out and touch commands.

Engineering Advantages

Choosing the Bently Nevada 3500/94M series enhances local operator awareness by providing an intuitive, touch-enabled interface at the machine level. The IP54-rated housing and Class I, Division 2 certification ensure that this display can be safely installed in hazardous areas common in the oil and gas and power generation sectors. Its EMI/EMC compliance with EN 61000-6-2/4 standards prevents interference with sensitive vibration transducers, ensuring that your machinery protection data remains clean and accurate.

Technical FAQs
