4. Core Features
- Multi-Sensor Compatibility: Natively supports Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) and isolated tip Thermocouples (TCs) without additional signal converters.
- Software-Defined Configuration: All 16 channels are fully programmable via the official 3500 Rack Configuration Software, no hardware jumper adjustment required.
- Harsh Environment Adaptability: Robust industrial-grade construction, hot-swappable under powered status without interrupting other monitoring channels.
5. Main Functions
- High-Precision Temperature Measurement: Delivers accurate real-time thermal data for 16 independent temperature points simultaneously.
- User-Configurable Alarm: Each channel supports custom alarm setpoints, triggering corresponding relay outputs when temperature exceeds predefined thresholds.
- Data Transmission: Sends all captured temperature data to the 3500 system host and linked System 1 platform for centralized condition analysis and historical trend tracking.
