Description
Bently 131151-01
Technical Specifications
- Part Number: 131151-01
- Component Type: Blank Front Panel Cover Kit
- System Compatibility: Bently Nevada 3500 Framework
Key Features
- Slot Protection: Safely covers unused half-height slots to prevent dust, moisture, and foreign objects from entering the active rack.
- Complete Kit: Typically supplied as a complete assembly including the front panel and necessary mounting screws.
- EMI Shielding: Maintains the electromagnetic interference shielding of the overall 3500 enclosure.
Application Scenarios
Deployed in any 3500 framework where half-height modules (such as power supplies or certain interface modules) have been removed or are not yet installed.
Performance Parameters
- Environmental Protection: Contributes to the rack’s overall IP rating by sealing open gaps.
- Mechanical Stability: Prevents airflow disruption and maintains rack rigidity.
Material Composition
Constructed from durable, industrial-grade metallic and polymeric materials designed to withstand harsh plant environments and match the aesthetic of active modules.
Structural Characteristics
Standard half-height form factor that perfectly aligns with the 3500 rack guide rails. Features integrated screw holes for secure attachment to the front panel.
Working Principle
Acts as a passive mechanical barrier. By physically blocking the open slot, it prevents accidental contact with live backplane pins and maintains the internal thermal and environmental balance of the cabinet.
Installation Requirements
Align the panel with the empty half-height slot and secure it using the provided screws. Ensure the panel sits flush with adjacent modules to maintain proper sealing.
Usage Precautions
Always install blank panels in unused slots. Leaving slots open compromises the system’s EMI immunity and can lead to backplane contamination or accidental short circuits during maintenance.
