Section 1.0 Receiving and Handling Instructions
1.0 Receiving and Handling Instructions

Visually inspect the module for obvious shipping damage. If you detect shipping damage, file a
claim with the carrier and submit a copy to Bently Nevada, Inc.
WARNING
Verify the position of the PIM switch is the same on all PIMs being installed. If
the switches are not in the same position the rack may not be properly
grounded and cause a false trip.
Circuit boards contain devices that are susceptible to damage when exposed to electrostatic
charges. Damage caused by obvious mishandling of the board will void the warranty. To avoid
damage, observe the following precautions in the order given.
WARNING
Machinery protection may be lost when you remove this module from the
rack.
l Do not discharge static electricity onto the circuit board. Avoid tools or procedures that
would subject the circuit board to static damage. Some possible causes of static damage
include ungrounded soldering irons, nonconductive plastics, and similar materials.
l Use a suitable grounding strap (such as 3M Velostat® No. 2060) before handling or
performing maintenance on a printed circuit board.
l Transport and store circuit boards in electrically conductive bags or foil.
l Use extra caution during dry weather. Relative humidity less than 30% tends to multiply the
accumulation of static charges on any surface.
When performed properly, you may install this module into or remove this module from the rack
while power is applied to the rack. Refer to the Rack Installation and Maintenance Manual (part
number 129766-01) for the proper procedure.

Section 3.0 General Information
3.0 General Information

The 3500/61E and 3500/67E Temperature Monitors are designed for temperature measurement
applications. They accept input from either resistance temperature detectors (RTD) or
thermocouples (TC) and use these inputs to drive alarms. These monitors can be programmed
using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software.
3500/61E Temperature Monitor
The /61E is a 6 channel monitor. It requires a vacant slot to its right in the 3300 chassis. For
example, if you insert the /61E into slot 5 of the rack, you must leave slot 6 vacant.
Note
When using a 3300 Rack, two slots are required because the 3500/61E monitor replaces the 3300/30 and 3300/35
Temperature monitors which occupied two slots.
3500/67E Temperature Monitor
The /67E is a 2 channel monitor. It requires only one slot in the 3300 Chassis.
Note
The 3500/61E and 3500/67E monitors have similar functionality. For simplicity, this manual refers only to the
3500/61E except when the functionality differs between the two monitors.
The primary purposes of the monitors are to provide:
1. Machinery protection by continuously comparing current machine temperature against

configured alarm setpoints to drive alarms and relays, and
2. Essential machine temperature information to both operator and maintenance personnel.
Note
The /67E is not compatible with the 3500 ENCORE rack.
Alarm setpoints are configured using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software. Alarm and danger
setpoints can be configured for the active static value.
The monitors ship from the factory unconfigured. Spare monitors can be re-configured for
different applications as needed.
To configure a monitor install the monitor in a 3500 ENCORE rack and follow the instructions in
the Configuration Section.

5.3.7 Delay
Delay is the time for which a static value must remain at or above an over alarm level, or below an
under alarm level, before the monitor declares an alarm as active.
5.3.7.1 Alert Delay
You can set the Alert time delay in 1 second increments (from 1 to 60 seconds) for all available
static values. Alert is the first level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the
selected Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen.
5.3.7.2 Danger Delay
You can set the Danger Time Delay at 500 millisecond increments from 1 to 60 seconds. Danger is
the second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected
Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen.
5.3.7.3 810 ms Delay
It is possible to set the Danger time delay at a millisecond interval that varies from 380 to 810
milliseconds, depending on the number of active channels. The millisecond danger interval is
determined as follows:
270ms minimum time + (90ms x number of active channels)
32
5.3.8 Alarm Mode
The options for Alarm Mode are Latching and Non-latching. You can set the Alarm Mode option
for both the Alert and Danger alarms.
5.3.8.1 Latching
Once a latching alarm is active it will remain active even after the static value drops below the
configured setpoint level. The channel will remain in alarm until you use one of the following
methods to reset it:
l Pressing the RESET switch on the System Monitor
l Closing the contact on the Power Input Module (PIM)
l Clicking the Reset button in the Operator Display software
l Issuing the reset command over Modbus
l Issuing the reset commend in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software
5.3.8.2 Non-latching
When a non-latching alarm is active, it changes to inactive as soon as the static value drops
below the configured setpoint level.
5.4 Alarm Setpoints

This section specifies the available setpoints for the Temperature channel. A setpoint is the level
within the full-scale range that determines when an alarm occurs.
The 3500 ENCORE Monitoring System allows two Alert/Alarm 1 setpoints (one over setpoint and
one under setpoint) to be set on each Temperature static value. The channel will drive an
Alert/Alarm 1 indication if the channel's static value exceeds its setpoints.
The 3500 ENCORE Monitoring System also allows two Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints (one over
setpoint and one under setpoint) to be set for each Temperature channel. The channel will drive a
Danger/Alarm 2 indication if the channel's static value exceeds its setpoints.
Note
You can place the setpoint over and under limits only within the OK limits of the specified transducer.
Use the following screen in the Rack Configuration Software to adjust Alert/Alarm 1 and
Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints.
33

Alarm setpoints are not available on this static value.
7.3 Verifying RTD Temperature Channels

The following sections describe how to test alarms, verify channels, and test OK limits for
channels configured as RTD Temperature. The output values and alarm setpoints are verified by
varying the input temperature signal level and observing that the correct results are reported in
the Verification screen on the test computer.
7.3.1 Test Equipment Setup - RTD Temperature

The following test equipment setup can be used as the initial setup needed for all the verification
procedures (test alarms, verify channel static values, verify OK status, and test OK limits).
Caution
High voltage present. Contact could cause shock, burns or death.
Alert
Tests will exceed alarm setpoint levels causing alarms to activate. This could result in a relay contact state change.
Disconnecting the field wiring will cause a Not OK condition.
The monitor supports two RTD configurations, 3-Wire and 4-Wire. To simulate a RTD signal
connect the decade resistor to channel 1 as shown in the following figure.
45
1. Decade Resistor
Figure 7 - 2: RTD Temperature Setup
46
1. Decade Resistor
Figure 7 - 3: ENCORE System RTD Temperature Setup
The Test Equipment outputs should be floating relative to earth ground. For external termination
I/O modules, the test setup is identical except that the test equipment outputs connect to the
external termination block. Make the lead length between the decade resistor and the I/O module
as short as possible.
7.3.2 Test RTD Alarms

Simulate the temperature signal with a decade resistor. Test the alarm levels by varying the
output from the test equipment and observing the results in the Verification screen on the test
computer. It is only necessary to test those alarm parameters that are configured and being
used. To test alarms adjust the test signal to:
47
1. Exceed the over Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints
2. Drop below any under Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints
3. Produce a non-alarm condition.
When varying the signal from an alarm condition to a non-alarm condition, alarm hysteresis
must be considered. Adjust the signal well within the alarm setpoint for the alarm to clear.
1. Disconnect all field wiring from the channel terminals on the Temperature I/O Module.
2. Connect the test equipment and run the software as described in the section, "Test
Equipment and Software Setup."
3. Adjust the decade resistor to produce a reading that is within the setpoint levels on the bar
graph display of the Verification screen.
4. Press the RESET switch on the System Monitor. Verify that the OK LED is on, the color of the
bar graph indicator is green, and the Current Value field contains no alarm indication.
5. Adjust the voltage/current source such that the signal just exceeds the Over Alert/Alarm 1
setpoint level. Wait for 2 or 3 seconds after the alarm time delay expires and verify that the
bar graph indicator changes color from green to yellow and that the Current Value Field
indicates an Alarm.
6. Press the RESET switch. Verify that the color of the bar graph indicator remains yellow and
that the Current Value Field still indicates an alarm.
7. Adjust the voltage/current source such that the signal just exceeds the Over Danger/Alarm
2 setpoint level. Wait for 2 or 3 seconds after the alarm time delay expires and verify that the
bar graph indicator changes color from yellow to red and that the Current Value Field
indicates an Alarm.
8. Press the RESET switch. Verify that the color of the bar graph indicator remains red and that
the Current Value Field still indicates an alarm.
9. Adjust the voltage/current source such that the signal reads within the Alarm setpoint
levels. If the nonlatching option is configured, observe that the bar graph indicator
changes color to green and that the Current Value Field contains no indication of alarms.
Press the RESET switch to reset latching alarms.
48
10. Adjust the voltage/current source such that the signal just exceeds the Under Alert/Alarm 1
indicates an Alarm.
12. Adjust the voltage/current source such that the signal just exceeds the Under
Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint level. Wait for 2 or 3 seconds after the alarm time delay expires
and verify that the bar graph indicator changes color from yellow to red and that the
Current Value Field indicates an Alarm.
14. Adjust the current/voltage source such that the signal reads within the Alarm setpoint
Press the RESET switch on the Rack Interface Module (RIM) to reset latching alarms.
15. If you cannot verify any configured alarm, check the configured setpoints again. If the
monitor still does not alarm properly or fails any other part of this test, you must replace the
monitor. Refer to "If a Channel Fails a Verification Test" in your monitor hardware manual.
16. Disconnect the test equipment and reconnect the field wiring to the channel terminals on
the Temperature I/O Module. Verify that the OK LED comes on. Press the RESET switch to
reset the OK LED.
17. Repeat steps 1 through 16 for all configured channels.
7.3.3 Verify RTD Channel Values

Simulate the Temperature input signal with a voltage/current source. To verify the channel
values, vary the output from the test equipment and observe that the correct results are reported
in the Verification screen on the test computer.
Note
See the "3500/61E & 3500/67E Temperature Monitor" Specification (part number 287825-01) for the rated accuracy
for each transducer type.
49
3. Select a minimum of three verification resistance values that are within the selected full-
scale range and that correspond to the NIST standard value, such as the tables in the
MINCO's Bulletin TS-102 (G), "Temperature Sensors & Transmitters".
4. Adjust the decade resistor to the first verification value that was selected from the tables.
5. Verify that the bar graph display and the Current Value Box is the specified accuracy for
that type of RTD of the verification values shown in the tables. If the recorder output is
configured, refer to Section "Verify Recorder Outputs" for the steps to verify the recorder
output.
6. Repeat the procedure in step 4 and 5 until all of the verification points have been tested.
7. If the readings do not meet specifications, verify that the input signal is correct. If the
monitor still does not meet specifications or fails any other part of this test, you must
replace the monitor. See the section "If a Channel Fails a Verification Test" in your hardware
manual.

7.4 Verifying Thermocouple Temperature Channels

The following sections describe how to test alarms, verify channels, and test OK limits for
channels configured as Thermocouple Temperature. The output values and alarm setpoints are
verified by varying the input temperature signal level and observing that the correct results are
reported in the Verification screen on the test computer.
7.4.1 Test Equipment Setup

Use the following test equipment setup for all the verification procedures (Test Alarms, Verify
Channels, and Test OK Limits).
Warning
High voltage present. Contact could cause shock, burns or death. Do not touch exposed wires or terminals.
Alert
Tests will exceed alarm setpoint levels causing alarms to activate. This may result in a relay contact state change.
Disconnecting the field wiring will cause a Not OK condition.
Simulate the transducer signal by connecting the precision millivolt source to the input terminal
for channel 1 with polarity as shown in the following figure.
53

7.4.3 Verify TC Channel Values

Simulate the Temperature signal with a precision millivolt source. To verify channel values vary
the output from the test equipment and observe the Verification screen on the test computer.
Note
These parameters have an accuracy specification that is dependent on the physical configuration of the system.
3. On the Verification screen, record the current value of the CJC bar graph. This value is the
CJC temperature at the input terminal of the monitor at the start of the test.
56
4. Select a minimum of three verification voltage values (Vtable) that are within the selected
full-scale range and that corresponds to the NIST standard value, such as the tables in
Omega's "The Temperature Handbook Vol. 28" .
5. Using a Thermocouple Table, convert the CJC temperature value recorded above to the
CJC voltage. (Vcjc).
6. Adjust the value for the verification value listed in the Thermocouple Table to the voltage
that is applied in the test configuration (Vtest).
7. Adjust the precision millivolt source to the first verification value that has been adjusted
(Vtest). Adjust the verification value using Equation "Verification Temperature Value" below.
Record the current value of the Direct Value bar graph.
8. Verify that the bar graph display and the current value are within ±0.5° C (±0.9° F) of the
expected value. If the recorder output is configured, refer to Section - Verify Recorder
Outputs for the steps to verify the recorder output.
9. Repeat the steps 6 and 7 for the remaining verification values.
10. Record the value of the CJC bar graph. This value is the CJC temperature at the input
terminal of the monitor at the end of the test. This temperature and the temperature
recorded in step 3 cannot vary by more the 1° C (1.8° F). If it does vary, repeat steps 3
through 9.
11. If the readings do not meet specifications, verify that the input signal is correct. If the
monitor still does not meet specifications or fails any other part of this test, you must
replace the monitor. See the section "If a Channel Fails a Verification Test" in your hardware
manual.
reset the OK LED.
Equation: Verification Temperature Value
Vtest = Vtable -Vcjc
Example 1:
Some values for Type-J have the following resistance values:
57
Verification value 1: T1= 0° C Voltage = 0.000 mV
Example 2:
Assume that the CJC temperature measured in step 3 is 29 °C, the monitor is configured for the
type-J TC, and the desired test verification value is 100 °C.
For the CJC temperature of 29 °C the Thermocouple Table indicates this corresponds to a CJC
voltage (Vcjc) of 1.484 mV.
From the same table, the test temperature of 100° C corresponds to a voltage (Vtable) of 5.268 mV.
Adjusted Verification Input Voltage Value is: Vtest = 5.268 mV - 1.484 mV
Vtest = 3.784 mV
7.4.4 Test OK Limits
Note
All other channels in the rack must be OK or Bypassed for the OK relay to be energized.
To test OK limits input a precision millivolt DC voltage and adjust it above the Upper OK limit and
below the Lower OK limit. This voltage will cause a not OK condition and the OK Relay to change
state (de-energize). The Upper and Lower OK limits are displayed in the Verification screen on the
test computer.
3. Bypass all other configured channels.
4. Adjust the precision millivolt source to some value in the middle of the OK limits as listed in
the Table "Thermocouple Transducer OK Limit".
5. Press the RESET switch. Verify that the monitor OK LED is on and that the Channel OK State
line in the Channel Status section of the Verification screen reads OK.
58
6. Verify that the OK relay on the System Monitor indicates OK (is energized). (See the
appropriate System Monitor manual for more information.)
7. Increase the precision millivolt source (more positive) until the OK LED just goes off (upper
limit).
Verify the contents of the library item
Verify that the Upper OK limit voltage displayed on the Verification screen is equal to or less
positive than the input voltage.
10. Gradually decrease the precision millivolt source (more negative) until the OK LED just goes
off (lower limit).
Contents of the library item
Verify that the Lower OK limit voltage displayed on the Verification screen is equal to or less
negative than the input voltage.
13. Disconnect the test equipment and reconnect all field wiring to the channel terminals on
the Temperature I/O Module. Verify that the OK LED comes on and that the OK relay
energizes. Press the RESET switch on the Rack Interface Module (RIM) to reset the OK LED.
14. If you cannot verify any configured OK limit, you must replace the monitor. Refer to "If a
Channel Fails a Verification Test" in your monitor hardware manual.
16. Return the bypass switches for all configured channels back to their original settings.

7.5 Verify Recorder Outputs

Recorder outputs for the 3500/61E Temperature Monitor Module are 4 to 20 mA.
2. Connect a multimeter to the COM and REC channel terminals of the I/O module. The
multimeter should be able to measure 4 mA to 20 mA.
3. Set the static value for which the recorder is configured to full-scale (refer to the static value
of the channel type you are testing). Verify that the recorder output is reading 20 mA ± 1%.
4. Set the static value for which the recorder is configured to mid-scale (refer to the static
value of the channel type you are testing). Verify that the recorder output is reading 12 mA ±
1%.
5. Set the static value for which the recorder is configured to bottom-scale (refer to the static
value of the channel type you are testing). Verify that the recorder output is reading 4 mA ±
1%.
6. Set the static value so that the recorder is outside its full-scale range. Verify that the
recorder output is reading at the clamped value, as set in the software, ±1%.
7. If you cannot verify the recorder output, you should check the recorder configuration and
connections. If the monitor recorder output still does not verify properly, you will need to
replace the monitor. Go to Section "If a Channel Fails a Verification Test."
reset the OK LED.
9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 for all configured recorder channels.

7.6 If a Channel Fails a Verification Test
When handling or replacing circuit boards, always be sure to adequately guard against damage
from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Always wear a proper wrist strap and work on a grounded
conductive work surface.
1. Use the 3500 Rack Configuration Software to save the configuration for the module.
2. Replace the module with a spare. Refer to the installation section in the following
documents:
3500 Monitoring System Installation and Maintenance Manual (part number 129766-01)
