Engineered specifically for use with the 3500\/60 and 3500\/61 Temperature Monitor series, this hardware interface accepts inputs from both Resistive Temperature Detectors (RTD) and Thermocouples (TC). Its internal termination design eliminates the need for external terminal blocks, simplifying control cabinet layouts and reducing field wiring complexity. Each module connects directly to the backplane of the 3500 rack, transmitting digitized temperature data to the main monitor module for real-time safety trips and machinery diagnostics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: square;
