Functional Description

136703-01 is a Discrete Internal Barrier I/O Module manufactured by Bently Nevada. The Bently Nevada Discrete Internal Barrier I/O Module is designed for use with the 3500 Machinery Protection System, providing intrinsic safety and explosion protection for transducer systems in hazardous areas. It integrates internal barriers and terminations, ensuring compatibility with the 3500 system while simplifying installation and reducing the need for external components. The module includes an IS Earthing Module, which requires a dedicated I/O position in the rack, limiting standard 19-inch racks to 13 monitor positions. This cost-effective solution enhances safety, streamlines deployment, and ensures compliance with industry safety standards in environments with flammable gases, vapors, or dust.

Features

• Internal Barriers: These barriers provide intrinsic safety (IS) by acting as an interface between the transducer systems and the 3500 system. They protect connected transducers from creating ignition sources in hazardous environments.
• Compatibility with the 3500 System: Fully compatible with the Bently Nevada 3500 System, offering a seamless solution for machinery monitoring and protection. The barriers are designed to meet industry safety standards while maintaining optimal system functionality.
• Integrated Termination: Features internal terminations for transducer systems, simplifying installation and reducing the need for external components.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Offers a convenient and economical option for installing transducers in hazardous areas without requiring additional external protection devices.

Installation Guidelines

• The internal barriers are embedded in specialized Monitor I/O Modules, providing direct explosion protection for connected transducers.
• An Intrinsically Safe (IS) Earthing Module ensures proper grounding for the IS barriers via the 3500 system backplane.
• This module occupies a dedicated I/O module position in the rack, which cannot be used for other 3500 System modules.
• In a standard 19-inch rack, the installation of IS barriers limits the system to 13 monitor positions due to the dedicated IS Earth Module.
• Some installation options and configurations may be restricted when internal barriers are used.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is 136703-01?
It is a Discrete Internal Barrier I/O Module manufactured by Bently Nevada.

What are internal barriers, and why are they important?
Internal barriers act as intrinsic safety interfaces that prevent transducer systems from generating ignition sources in areas with flammable gases, vapors, or dust, ensuring safe operation in hazardous locations.

What types of terminations does the module provide?
The module includes internal terminations for transducer systems, simplifying the installation process and eliminating the need for additional external components.

Does the module require a dedicated position in the rack?
Yes, the Intrinsically Safe (IS) Earthing Module occupies a dedicated I/O module position in the 3500 rack, reducing the total number of available monitor positions in a standard 19-inch rack to 13.

Can I use this module for all types of transducer systems?
The module is designed for a wide range of transducer systems compatible with the 3500 Machinery Protection System and suitable for hazardous area installations.
