Installation and Maintenance

Pre-installation Preparation:
Before installing the BENTLY 3500/42M 176449-02, ensure the following:

Verify the input voltage matches the module’s requirements (24 VDC ±10%) and that the rack is properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Use BENTLY’s configuration software to set communication parameters (e.g., baud rate, parity) for RS-485 connectivity.
Secure the module in a 19″ rack using the provided mounting brackets, allowing at least 50 mm of clearance for airflow.

Maintenance Recommendations:

Routine Inspections: Check front-panel LEDs monthly to confirm normal operation (e.g., green “Power” and “Health” indicators). Clean dust from vents quarterly to maintain optimal cooling.
Sensor Calibration: Perform annual calibration of proximity probes using certified test equipment to ensure accurate vibration measurements.
Firmware Updates: Periodically update the module’s firmware via BENTLY’s dedicated software to access new features and security patches.
System Testing: Test alarm thresholds biannually to ensure compliance with safety standards and operational requirements.
