Temperature Measurement and Alarm Functions
The 3500/60 processes temperature signals from supported RTD and thermocouple arrangements. Its six-channel capacity allows multiple temperature measurements to be monitored within a single monitor slot. The selected sensor type and installed I/O configuration must match the intended measurement circuit.
Users can configure upper and lower Alert and Danger thresholds to suit the monitored equipment. Adjustable delay settings determine how long a condition must persist before the corresponding alarm response occurs, helping distinguish sustained temperature deviations from brief signal changes.
Configuration and Replacement Considerations
The 3500/60 and 3500/61 have different recorder-output capabilities. The 3500/60 does not provide the individual recorder outputs available on the 3500/61. Therefore, a replacement check should include the required output functions, sensor inputs and installed I/O arrangement rather than relying on the shared temperature-monitoring family alone.
The specified operating-temperature range applies to the standard I/O configuration. Confirm the actual I/O arrangement and any associated isolation or barrier requirements before selecting a replacement for an existing installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many temperature signals can the 3500/60 163179-01 monitor?
A: It supports six temperature-monitoring channels. The selected RTD or thermocouple arrangement must match the installed I/O configuration.
Q: Does the 3500/60 163179-01 provide recorder outputs?
A: No. The 3500/60 does not provide individual recorder outputs. The 3500/61 offers this additional functionality, so verify recorder requirements before choosing between the two models.
Q: What should be checked before replacing an existing temperature monitor?
A: Confirm the complete model and spare number, sensor type, installed I/O configuration, required recorder functions and applicable operating-temperature limits. Matching the 3500 family alone does not confirm that all wiring and signal requirements are equivalent.
