If your installation utilizes external termination blocks or bussed external termination structures, you must source the \u003cstrong\u003e3500\/45-02-XX\u003c\/strong\u003e version instead. When swapping cards within an active 3500 rack, ensure the backplane firmware is updated to support version changes, as older backplane revisions may require a software-driven channel-mapping update via the 3500 Rack Configuration Software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication Pitfalls \u0026amp; Engineering Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #2d3748; margin-bottom: 1rem;\"\u003eA common failure point in DC LVDT integrations is sensor power overload. While the -01 internal termination I\/O module provides DC excitation voltage, the cumulative current draw of four high-power active LVDTs can stress the module's onboard power regulators. If utilizing long field cables or high-current sensors, measure the loop impedance carefully to prevent thermal stress on the I\/O card, which typically results in intermittent \"Not OK\" channel diagnostic faults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommissioning \u0026amp; Wiring Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #2d3748; margin-bottom: 1rem;\"\u003eEnsure that all sensor shields are terminated only at the designated instrument ground terminal on the 3500\/45 I\/O module. Do not ground the shield at the sensor end, as this creates a ground loop capable of inducing noise on the high-impedance displacement signal. When performing zero and span calibration for RPTs or LVDTs, verify that the mechanical linkage is fully coupled to the machine element before running the configuration wizard to avoid clipping the high or low signal thresholds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fff5f5; border-left: 4px solid #c53030; padding: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; color: #9b2c2c;\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eCRITICAL WARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never insert or remove the 3500\/45 monitor or its companion I\/O module while the 3500 rack is powered.
