Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What does approval option 00 mean?
  A: No hazardous location certifications. Use this monitor only in non-hazardous (safe) areas. For explosive atmospheres, choose option 01 (CSA) or 02 (ATEX/IECEx/CSA).
• Q: What is the advantage of external termination?
  A: External termination moves wiring connections outside the rack. This simplifies installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting without opening the rack.
• Q: What accuracy does this non-isolated external termination model provide?
  A: In a standard rack, ±1°C at 25°C (±1.8°F at 77°F). In a bulkhead rack, ±3°C at 25°C.
• Q: How many channels does this monitor support?
  A: The 3500/61 accepts 1 to 6 thermocouple or RTD transducer signals per module.
• Q: Can I set custom alarm delays?
  A: Yes. Alert delays from 1 to 60 seconds in 1 second intervals. Danger delays from 1 to 60 seconds in 0.5 second intervals using 3500 Configuration Software.
