BENTLY 106M1079-01

Product introduction

The Bently Nevada 106M1079-01 is a compact, reliable power supply unit designed to provide stable 24V DC power to industrial monitoring components. As a versatile power solution, it bridges the gap between AC line voltage and the low-voltage requirements of sensors, transmitters, and monitoring modules, ensuring consistent operation in diverse industrial environments.

Unlike the high-power redundant 3500/15 127610-01, the 106M1079-01 is optimized for smaller-scale applications, delivering up to 3A of current—ideal for powering devices like the 85515-02 vibration transmitter, which requires only 2.5W max. Its compact design and DIN rail mounting make it suitable for space-constrained control cabinets, while its broad input voltage range (85-264V AC) ensures compatibility with global power grids.

Integral to decentralized monitoring setups, the 106M1079-01 works seamlessly with 3500 series components such as the 3500/42M 140734-02 signal conditioner and 3500/05-01-01-00-00-01 rack interface module, providing a cost-effective power solution for systems that don’t require full redundancy but still demand reliability.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Compact, space-saving design: With dimensions of 120mm x 80mm x 100mm, the 106M1079-01 occupies minimal space in control cabinets, making it ideal for small-scale installations where the 3500/15 127610-01 would be oversized. Its DIN rail mounting (35mm standard) simplifies integration into existing cabinet layouts, reducing installation time.

Broad input voltage range: The 85-264V AC input allows the 106M1079-01 to operate on both 110V and 220V AC grids, eliminating the need for voltage converters in global deployments. This flexibility is particularly valuable for multinational facilities or mobile monitoring setups that may encounter varying power sources.

Targeted power output: Delivering 24V DC at 3A (72W), the 106M1079-01 is perfectly sized for powering small clusters of devices—such as two 85515-02 transmitters (2.5W each) and a 3500/42M 140734-02 module (15W). This avoids the inefficiency of using a high-power supply for low-demand setups.

Robust protection mechanisms: Equipped with overvoltage, overcurrent, short-circuit, and overtemperature protection, the 106M1079-01 safeguards connected devices like the 85515-02 from electrical faults. For example, if a wiring error causes a short circuit in the 85515-02, the supply shuts down automatically, preventing damage to both the sensor and the power unit.

Typical application scenarios

In a small manufacturing plant, the 106M1079-01 powers a localized monitoring system consisting of two 85515-02 transmitters (monitoring pump vibration) and a 3500/42M 140734-02 signal conditioner. Mounted on a DIN rail in a compact control cabinet, it converts 220V AC line power to 24V DC, ensuring stable operation of the sensors. During a voltage fluctuation, its broad input range maintains consistent output, preventing data loss from the 85515-02 units.

At a remote water treatment facility, the 106M1079-01 provides power to a standalone monitoring setup: an 85515-02 on a booster pump and a 3500/05-01-01-00-00-01 interface module transmitting data via Ethernet. Its rugged design withstands the facility’s temperature variations, while its overcurrent protection prevents damage if the 85515-02’s cable is accidentally cut.

In a mobile equipment monitoring trailer, the 106M1079-01 operates on generator power (which can vary between 110V and 220V AC) to power 85515-02 sensors attached to rental compressors. Its ability to handle voltage fluctuations ensures continuous monitoring, while its compact size fits in the trailer’s limited cabinet space—an application where the larger 3500/15 127610-01 would be impractical.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation: Mount the 106M1079-01 on a 35mm DIN rail or via panel mount holes, ensuring adequate ventilation (minimum 50mm clearance above and below). Connect the 106M1079-Cable to the AC input (L, N, PE terminals) and verify the input voltage matches the 85-264V AC rating. Connect 24V DC outputs to devices like the 85515-02, observing correct polarity to prevent damage.

Commissioning steps: Power on the supply and verify the green “POWER” LED illuminates. Measure the output voltage at the terminals (should be 24V DC ±5%). Connect the 85515-02 or other devices and confirm they operate correctly. Test protection features by simulating a short circuit (use a fused test lead) to ensure the supply shuts down; reset by disconnecting and reconnecting AC power.

Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the 106M1079-01 quarterly for loose connections, dust accumulation, or damaged cables. Clean vents with compressed air if clogged to prevent overheating. Check the output voltage annually to ensure it remains within the 24V ±5% range—drift beyond this may indicate a failing unit. Replace the supply every 5-7 years as preventive maintenance, as electrolytic capacitors degrade over time in industrial environments.
