3.7.3 3300 or 7200 Replacement
The 16 slot VC-8000 rack is the same size
as the Bently Nevada 7200 and 3300 series
8 Position rack. VC-8000 Racks will mount
in the existing panel cut-outs without
modification.
When replacing a larger BN 3300 or 2700
rack (10P, 12P, and 14P). A blank cover is
required to fill the unused space.
In Figure 18 the VC-8000 16P rack is
installed in the same location where the
3300 rack was removed. The blank panel on
the bottom is where a second 3300 rack was
installed. All channels from both racks now
fit in the single VC-8000 rack.
Many 3300 & 7200 racks use 18 AWG
cable. VC-8000 wiring connectors can use
18 AWG cable as long as there are no
ferrules on the wires.
3.7.4 Mounting Orientation
Mount the VC-8000 rack with the modules
vertical in all cases. Other orientations are
not advised.
Figure 3-8) VC-8000 replaces a 3300 rack
(same cut out).
3.7.5 Moving Mounting Brackets in the Field
Newer rack chassis (since 2017) have
mounting pads for brackets on both the
front side and backside of the chassis;
Mounting brackets (for these racks) can
easily be removed and inverted in the
field from one side to the other.
If your field modification also moves the
display panel, you will need to order a
longer display cable (see datasheet).
Use a removable thread locker (Loctite
Blue 242) when replacing the bracket
screws.
