3500/60-/61 Operation and Maintenance General Information
2.3 LED Descriptions
The LEDs on the front panel of the Temperature Monitor indicate the operating status of the module as shown in the following figure. Refer to Section 6.2 for all
of the available LED conditions. Figure 4-2 LED’s
1. OK: Indicates that the Temperature Monitor and the Temperature I/O Module are
operating correctly.
2. TX/RX: Flashes at the rate that messages are received and transmitted
3. BYPASS: Indicates that some of the monitor functions are temporarily suppressed.

3. Configuration Information
The 3500/60-/61 Temperature Monitor must have a valid configuration to operate properly. This section lists the Monitor Options(Section 3.2), Channel
Options(Section 3.3), Available Setpoints(Section 3.4), and Software Switches (Section 3.5) for the Temperature Monitor.
To configure the Temperature Monitor, use this section to gather the
configuration information and then use the Rack Configuration Software to set options and download the configuration to the module. The 3500 Monitoring System Rack Configuration and Utilities Guide (part number 129777-01) shows how to install and operate the Rack Configuration Software.
3.1 Hardware Considerations
The slots in the rack are numbered from 0 to 15, counting from left to right. Slot 0 is reserved for 1 or 2 power supplies. Slot 1 is reserved for an interface module, either the 3500/22 Transient Data Interface or the 3500/20 Rack Interface Module. Slots 2 through 15 are called “monitoring positions”. The 3500/60-61 Temperature Monitor can be installed into any of the monitoring positions. However, if the 3500/20 Rack Interface Module and Data Manager I/O are to be used to interface to DDIX, TDIX or TDXnet, refer to the manual on the 3500/20 for slot restrictions this may place on your configuration.
3.2 Monitor Options
This section describes the options available on the Temperature Monitor configuration screens and discusses configuration considerations.

3500/60-/61 Operation and Maintenance Configuration Information
Reference Information
These fields contain information that indicates which module you are configuring.
Slot
The location of the Temperature Monitor in the 3500 rack (2 through 15).
Rack Type
The type of Rack Interface Module installed in the rack (Standard or TMR).
Configuration ID
A unique six character identifier, which is entered when a configuration is downloaded to the 3500 rack.
Slot Input/Output Module Type
The I/O field lets you identify the type of I/O Module that is attached to the monitor. The option selected must agree with the I/O module installed.
RTD/TC Temperature I/O Module (Internal Termination)
This I/O module is explained in sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
Isolated TC Temperature I/O Module (External Termination)
This I/O module is explained in sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2.
Isolated TC Temperature I/O Module (Internal Termination)
This I/O module is explained in sections 4.1.3 and 4.1.4.

Barrier Temperature I/O Module
This I/O module is explained in section 4.2.
Channel Type
Two channel types are available on the 3500/60-/61 Temperature Monitor
Temperature channel type
This channel type offers a simple configuration where only basic temperature measurements are required.
Differential Temperature channel type
This channel type has additional options for composite temperature measurements.
Line Noise Rejection
This field allows selection of 50Hz or 60 Hz line noise rejection. Depending on the system power source being used, this option should be selected to match with the line frequency. If the incorrect option is set, the line noise from the system power source may couple into the input signals.
Group Summary (Differential Temperature Only)
Select this button to bring up a read only summary showing how all the composite and differential proportional values are configured.
Recorder Setup (3500/61 Only)
This button allows each recorder to be configured for any channel and proportional value.
Range Setup (Differential Temperature Only)
This button shows all of the channels range and clamp values. Optionally it can display this information for all the channels that make up the composite proportional value for a particular channel.
Copy
Use this button to copy one channels complete configuration to any or all of the other channels.
Channel 1 through Channel 6
The fields within these boxes pertain to the indicated channel.
Active
Used to select whether the functions of the channel will be turned (??) or off (??).
Options
To display the configuration options for the selected channel type.
3.3 Channel Options
This section discusses the Configuration Considerations and the Rack
Configuration Software screens associated with the Temperature Channel type.
