Product Specifications
- Mounting Options:
-
- Face Mounting: The display can be directly installed over the front panel of any full – size 3500 rack using a special hinged support. This allows access to the rack’s buffered output connectors and user – interface buttons and switches without disconnecting or disabling the display. For this option, the display interface module (DIM) must be installed in slot 15 (right – most slot) of the rack. Not compatible with the 3500 mini – rack.
-
- 19 – inch EIA Rack Mounting: Mounted on 19 – inch EIA rails and can be located up to 100 feet away from the 3500 system (up to 4000 feet away when using the external power supply).
-
- Panel Mounting: Installed in a panel cutout, either in the same cabinet or up to 100 feet away from the 3500 system (up to 4000 feet away with external power supply).
-
- Independent Mounting: Mounted flush against a wall or panel, located up to 100 feet away from the 3500 system (up to 4000 feet away with external power supply).
- Power Supply: Can operate on 240 V AC with an operating frequency of 50 Hz. Also, some configurations support 12 V DC operation which is energy – efficient.
- Dimensions: Approximately 45x25x10cm, with a compact design that allows for easy integration into different setups.
- Weight: Lightweight, facilitating easy installation and handling.
- Certifications: Complies with API 670, ensuring its suitability for use in critical machinery protection applications in the oil and gas, power generation, and other relevant industries.

Features
Comprehensive Data Visualization
Capable of presenting a vast amount of data from the 3500 system, including event lists and module – specific data, in an organized and easy – to – understand manner. This helps operators quickly identify any issues or anomalies in the machinery.
Multiple Mounting Options
The four different mounting options provide flexibility in installation, allowing it to be placed in the most convenient location for operators, whether it’s directly on the rack or remotely in a control room.
High – Resolution Display
With an 800 × 600 – pixel resolution, the display offers clear and sharp visuals, ensuring that even the smallest details of the machinery data are easily distinguishable.
Wide Temperature Range
The ability to operate in temperatures ranging from – 30 °C to + 65 °C makes it suitable for use in various industrial environments, including those with extreme temperature conditions.
Robust Communication Interfaces
Supports multiple communication protocols like Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP, as well as interface types such as RS – 232, RS – 485, and USB. This enables seamless integration with other components in the industrial network and easy data transfer for further analysis.
Function
The primary function of the 3500/93-01-00-00 is to act as a visual interface for the 3500 machinery protection system. It receives data from various modules within the 3500 system, processes it, and then displays it in a user – friendly format. It also allows for some level of interaction, such as navigating through different data screens, acknowledging alarms, and accessing historical data. Additionally, it can communicate with external systems through its communication interfaces, enabling remote monitoring and control.
Use
In industrial settings, the 3500/93-01-00-00 is installed according to the required mounting option. Once installed, it is connected to the 3500 system rack and powered on. Operators can then use the display to monitor the real – time status of machinery, view alarm events as they occur, and analyze historical data for trends. Maintenance personnel can also use it to access diagnostic information about the system modules, which helps in troubleshooting and planning maintenance activities.
Application Fields
Power Generation
Used in power plants to monitor the status of steam turbines, generators, and other critical rotating equipment. Operators can quickly detect any signs of imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear, ensuring reliable electricity production.
Oil and Gas
In oil refineries, gas processing plants, and pipelines, the module helps in monitoring the health of compressors, pumps, and turbines. This ensures safe and efficient hydrocarbon production, transportation, and refining by providing early warnings of potential equipment failures.
Chemical Processing
Tracks the performance of agitators, mixers, and pumps in chemical plants. By visualizing data related to their operation, it helps in preventing seal failures, leaks, and other issues that could lead to hazardous situations.
