Bently Nevada 3500/95 System Display – Local rack display for 3500 machinery protection data
The Bently Nevada 3500/95 is the system display module for the 3500 machinery protection rack. From my experience, it’s the most straightforward way for operators to see real‑time vibration, process values, and alarm status right at the cabinet—without opening a laptop or launching any SCADA client. You might notice that stations using the 3500/95 typically resolve alarm diagnostics faster because the key indicators and event lists are a few button presses away.
One thing I appreciate is how the 3500/95 mirrors what the rack is doing—showing channel values, OK status, alarm/event logs, and basic trends—so maintenance teams get quick, read‑only visibility on the spot. It also helps standardize operator rounds: same screen flow, same navigation, less ambiguity.

Technical Specifications
| Brand / Model | Bently Nevada 3500/95 System Display |
| HS Code | 9032.90 (Parts and accessories for automatic regulating or controlling instruments and apparatus) |
| Power Requirements | Typically powered from the 3500 rack power system via the backplane (no separate AC input on rack‑mounted version) |
| Display / HMI | Integrated LCD-based system display for channel values, alarms, events, and basic trends |
| Signal I/O Types | No direct transducer I/O; reads data from the 3500 rack modules (e.g., via TDI/RIM) |
| Communication Interfaces | Internal 3500 backplane connection to the rack interface (3500/22M TDI or 3500/20 RIM) |
| Installation Method | Front‑panel mounting on the 3500 rack door or cabinet cutout; remote panel‑mount variants are available in many cases |
Application Fields
The 3500/95 is used wherever the 3500 rack protects critical rotating assets. Typical deployments include:
- Steam and gas turbines – quick glance of vibration/phase readings during start‑ups
- Compressors (centrifugal, reciprocating) – alarm/event visibility to speed up trip investigations
- Pumps and fans – operator rounds with standard screens for trending key channels
- Generators and motors – local verification after maintenance or sensor replacement
- Refining, petrochemical, power, pulp & paper, mining, and steel plants
“We mounted the 3500/95 on the cabinet door. When a high vibration alarm pops, my techs can see which bearing and which channel in seconds.” — Maintenance Supervisor, combined‑cycle plant
Advantages & Value
- Reliability: Built for continuous service alongside the 3500 rack in industrial cabinets.
- Compatibility: Natively integrates with the 3500 ecosystem (works with 3500/22M TDI or 3500/20 RIM); no additional gateways required for local viewing.
- Cost savings: Reduces dependence on external HMIs for basic diagnostics and alarm checks—especially useful in remote areas.
- Operational speed: Faster triage during trips and startups; less back‑and‑forth between cabinet and control room.
- Supportability: Standard 3500 architecture and spares; easier training for operators and maintenance teams.
Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet & environment: Install on a 3500 rack door or rigid panel within a clean, ventilated cabinet. Maintain ambient conditions recommended for the 3500 system.
- Power & wiring: The display is supplied via the 3500 rack backplane. For remote‑mount variants, follow the OEM wiring kit and grounding instructions; keep runs neat and shielded where specified.
- Safety: Observe ESD precautions and lockout/tagout practices. Changes to system configuration should be performed by qualified personnel.
- Routine care: Periodically clean the display surface, check keypad function, verify alarm/event logging, and update firmware per OEM guidance (when applicable).
- Serviceability: The 3500/95 is field‑replaceable. In most cases, follow the 3500 hot‑swap and handling procedures to avoid interrupting machine protection.
Quality & Certifications
- CE marked and designed for industrial EMC requirements; RoHS conformity is typical for the 3500 series
- Manufactured under rigorous quality systems (commonly ISO 9001 within the Bently Nevada supply chain)
- Manufacturer’s product support ecosystem for the 3500 platform
- Our warranty: 365 days from shipment
