Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this rack compatible with legacy 3300 XL series monitors?
A: No, the 3500/05 rack is designed exclusively for 3500 Series modules. Migration from 3300 XL requires system upgrade planning.

Q: Can I mix different module types in a single rack?
A: Yes, the rack supports heterogeneous module configurations including vibration, temperature, speed, and communication modules simultaneously.

Q: What power supply options are compatible?
A: The rack requires Bently Nevada 3500/15 or 3500/22M power supplies (sold separately). Dual redundant power configuration is recommended for critical applications.

Q: Does the rack include mounting hardware?
A: Standard rack-mount brackets are included. Additional grounding kits and cable management accessories are available separately.
