8. Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q1: What sensor types does 3500/60 support?
A1: It supports RTD sensors (e.g. Pt100, Pt1000) and thermocouples (e.g. J, K types) for temperature measurement.

Q2: How many temperature inputs does it have?
A2: It provides six independent temperature channels.

Q3: Can I set alarms on each channel?
A3: Yes — each channel allows user‑configurable Alert and Danger thresholds.

Q4: Does it provide outputs for external monitoring?
A4: Yes; buffered analog outputs are made available per channel.

Q5: What is its size and weight?
A5: Dimensions are approximately 241.3 mm × 24.4 mm × 99.1 mm; weight is about 0.28 kg.

Q6: What is its operating temperature range?
A6: The module operates from –20 °C to +60 °C; it may be stored between –40 °C and +85 °C.

Q7: Does it support cold junction compensation?
A7: Yes, it includes internal compensated cold junction compensation for thermocouples.

Q8: Is this module hot-swappable?
A8: No, it should be removed or inserted only when the rack is powered down to avoid damage.

Q9: How does it integrate into the 3500 system?
A9: It inserts into a full‑height slot in a 3500 rack and communicates with other modules (vibration, relay, gateway) to form a unified protection system.

Q10: In what kinds of industrial settings is it used?
A10: It is used in power plants, refineries, petrochemical plants, petrochemical processing, heavy machinery, and any setting where temperature monitoring and condition correlation is valuable.
