Description
Bently Nevada 135489‑03 Internal‑Barrier Internal‑Termination I/O Assembly
Product Overview
135489‑03 is internal‑termination I/O assembly with built‑in intrinsic‑safety barriers exclusively for 3500/70M Recip Impulse Velocity Monitor (176449‑09) of Bently Nevada 3500 machinery‑protection systemBaker Hugh…. It provides rear‑rack wiring terminals for accelerometers and seismic transducers mounted in ATEX / Class I Div 2 hazardous classified zones. Built‑in IS barriers offer explosion protection for field sensor circuits, transmitting impulse‑vibration signals to the 3500/70M main monitor via rack backplane connector. Cannot operate independently; must install behind 176449‑09 in same rack slot.
Important note: Do NOT interchange with 135489‑01 / 135489‑02 (these two are for 3500/42M rotating‑machinery monitor). Even similar part‑number series, hardware is incompatible。

Key Features
- Built‑in intrinsic‑safety barrier: Eliminates external barrier modules. Directly connect IS‑certified accelerometers / seismic sensors installed in explosive hazardous zones for reciprocating‑compressor projects.
- Internal termination design: Field sensor cables land directly on rear‑rack screw terminals; no intermediate jumper cables required, simplifies cabinet layout.
- Four‑channel pair‑wise measurement: Channels work in pairs (1‑2,3‑4) for impulse‑acceleration, reciprocating velocity measurement for cross‑head impact and frame vibration of reciprocating compressors.
- Full transducer‑loop supervision: Enables 3500/70M main board to detect sensor open‑circuit, short‑circuit and cable‑loop fault diagnostics.
- Configuration‑transparent hardware: No separate software setup. Measurement modes, alarm thresholds and filter parameters are set in 3500 Rack Configuration Software for paired 3500/70M monitor.
- Hot‑swap capable: Supports online replacement following Bently official maintenance procedure.

Installation & Maintenance Notes
- 135489‑03 must install behind 176449‑09 in same rack slot. Cannot mix‑use barrier‑type and non‑barrier‑type I/O for a single 3500/70M monitor set.
- Only connect intrinsically‑safe certified sensors and cables, strictly comply with local hazardous‑area installation standards.
- Separate IS signal wiring from high‑voltage non‑IS cables to avoid noise interference.
- After installation, validate channel health status, sensor fault‑detection and alarm logic inside 3500 configuration software.
- Execute hot‑swap replacement strictly following Bently Nevada official service manual.
