Description
The Bently Nevada 125720-01 is a 4-channel relay I/O module designed for the 3500/32M monitoring system. As a critical component of the 3500 series machinery protection platform, this module provides the necessary interface between the rack's internal control signals and external electrical loads. It features four independently programmable relay outputs, allowing for flexible configuration of voting logic to suit specific industrial protection requirements.
Features
- Four independent, programmable relay outputs.
- Utilizes Alarm Drive Logic (AND/OR) to trigger based on alert or danger status from any monitor channel in the rack.
- Full-height module design for standard 3500 rack integration.
- Supports SPDT (Single-Pole, Double-Throw) electromechanical relay operation.
- Compatible with 3500 Rack Configuration Software for custom logic implementation.
Applications
- Oil & Gas Refineries: Protection and monitoring for centrifugal compressors and pumps.
- Power Generation: Emergency trip logic for steam and gas turbine protection systems.
- Petrochemical Plants: Managing trip sequences for critical rotating machinery.
- Water & Wastewater: Protection for large-scale pumping and treatment infrastructure.

Installation Guidelines
- The 125720-01 I/O module must be installed in the rear of the 3500 rack, directly behind its corresponding 3500/32M main module.
- Ensure the rack is powered down before inserting or removing any module to prevent electrical damage.
- Align the module carefully with the rack guide rails and slide it in until the backplane connectors are fully engaged.
- Tighten the two integrated thumb screws to ensure a secure mechanical fit and proper electrical grounding.
- Handle with standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions to protect sensitive internal circuitry.
FAQ
What is the 125720-01 module?
The 125720-01 is a 4-channel relay I/O module used within the Bently Nevada 3500/32M monitoring system to provide relay-based alarm outputs.
Can the relay outputs be configured independently?
Yes, each of the four relay outputs can be independently programmed using AND/OR logic to respond to specific alert or danger conditions from any monitor channel in the rack.
Where is this module installed in the 3500 rack?
It is installed in the rear of the 3500 rack, specifically in the slot directly behind the front-facing 3500/32M monitor module.
What is the switching capacity of the relays?
The relays are rated for 2-5 A at 30 V DC or 250 V AC, with a maximum switching capacity of 120 W DC or 600 VA AC.
