Bently Nevada 128276-011 Half-Height Expansion Faceplate

Product Brief Description

The Bently Nevada 128276-011 is a dedicated half-height future expansion faceplate purpose-built for the Bently Nevada 3500 series machinery protection system, fully compliant with API 670 global turbomachinery protection standards. As a non-active auxiliary rack component, it is designed to fill unused half-height slots in the 3500 system rack, maintaining complete structural integrity, proper internal airflow and consistent system aesthetics while reserving full space for future functional module upgrades without requiring additional rack modifications.

Core Technical Specifications

• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to +65°C, suitable for all standard heavy industrial site ambient conditions
• Storage Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C, supporting long-term spare part storage in unconditioned industrial warehouses
• Humidity Resistance: 95% non-condensing, no performance degradation under high-humidity plant environments
• Dimensions: 120mm (H) × 24.4mm (W) × 99.1mm (D), half-height design matching the 3500 series rack standard slot dimensions
• Net Weight: Approximately 0.2kg, lightweight and easy to install without adding extra load to the system rack

Key Product Functions

• Seals unused half-height slots in the 3500 rack to maintain optimized internal airflow path, preventing dust accumulation and ensuring consistent cooling performance for all active monitoring modules
• Provides a standardized, factory-matched appearance for the entire system rack, eliminating exposed empty slots and keeping the installation site neat and professional
• Reserves dedicated half-height slot space for future functional module expansion, allowing users to add new monitoring points without replacing or reconfiguring the existing system rack
• Blocks electromagnetic interference from outside the rack, maintaining the EMC integrity of the entire 3500 system to ensure stable operation of adjacent active monitoring modules

Common Application Scenarios

• New 3500 system pre-installation projects that reserve slots for future machinery monitoring point expansion
• Existing 3500 system optimization upgrades after removing old redundant half-height functional modules
• Turbine and compressor protection systems in thermal power plants, oil refineries and petrochemical facilities
• Heavy industrial machinery monitoring systems in metallurgy, mining and cement production sites
• Standardized machinery protection system cabinet integration projects for industrial automation system integrators
