Features:
- Integrated Intrinsic Safety Framework
- Pre-Certified System-Level Compliance
- Enhanced Hazardous-Area Physical Separation
The Bently Nevada 136719-01 forms an uncompromised, integral part of the 3500 platform, avoiding the signal attenuation and impedance mismatching commonly introduced by external alternative barriers.
By implementing the Bently Nevada 136719-01, each component complies both individually and as part of a system, releasing plant engineers from the time-consuming burden of validating individual cross-certificates between field probes and rack inputs.
The mechanical design of the Bently Nevada 136719-01 increases overall back-of-rack depth by 50 mm (2 in), providing a built-in physical barrier that guarantees hazardous-area field wiring remains insulated from safe-area electronics.
The 136719-01 Bently Nevada 3500/04 Series Internal Barrier Earthing I/O Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Petrochemical and Refinery Downstream Racks: The module acts as the foundation for intrinsic safety within hazardous Class I Div 2 refining units, allowing proximity sensors around hydrocarbon pumps to ground safely.
- Gas Turbine Core Enclosures: It provides a safe interface for proximity sensors, accelerometers, and aeroderivative monitoring systems installed directly within explosive gas atmospheres.
- Offshore Marine & LNG Infrastructure: It satisfies strict marine type-approvals (such as ABS and DNV GL standards), guaranteeing structural safety against electrical faults on offshore processing vessels.
- Power Plant Asset Life Extension: It supports retrofit projects, allowing older, standard-wired 3500 protection racks to step up to modern intrinsically safe standards simply by changing I/O paths.
- Zero Performance Attenuation Monitoring: Unlike legacy external zener blocks that damp and degrade high-frequency signals, this backplane solution allows high-speed 30 kHz dynamic vibration loops to remain perfectly crisp and uninhibited.
- Structured Back-of-Rack Cable Management: It dictates clear spatial separation between safe-area control signals heading down to the DCS and hazardous field signals coming from machine casings.
- Unified Intrinsic Ground Distribution: It bonds the entire rack’s barrier array to a single, dedicated grounding path, avoiding ground loop noise that can trigger false machinery trips.
- On-line Hot-Swap Accessibility: The structural spacing engineered around the module ensures plant maintenance teams can quickly access and test standard adjacent monitor boards without disturbing nearby active protection channels.
- Maximizing Enclosure Space Efficiency: By integrating the barrier components directly into the 3500 chassis footprint, it saves substantial DIN-rail space and eliminates the need for standalone external barrier cabinets.
- Elimination of Multi-Certificate Verification: Because the unit holds unified system-level compliance, engineers do not have to waste weeks auditing individual component matching certificates.
- Minimization of Component Fault Points: Standardizing on an internal architecture drastically reduces intermediate wire terminations, minimizing manual loop failures and lowering long-term maintenance costs.
- Accelerated Software Setup & Mapping: The hardware interfaces directly with the 3500 Rack Configuration utility, making it easy to allocate and configure slots without manual script writing or complex firmware overrides.
