Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the 3500/62 136483-01 is the right module for your application:
- Input Signal Type: If monitoring 4–20 mA process transmitters or voltage signals → 3500/62 is appropriate. For thermocouple/RTD-only → consider 3500/60.
- Number of Channels: 3500/62 supports 2 channels per slot. For higher channel density, consider multiple modules or the 3500/64.
- Alarm Logic: Requires Alert/Danger relay outputs → 3500/62 standard configuration applies.
- Rack Slot Availability: Confirm available single-width slots in your 3500 rack before ordering.
- Revision Compatibility: If replacing an existing -01 revision, confirm rack firmware supports the installed revision. Contact Konmask if uncertain.
- New vs. Retrofit: For new installations, consider the Emerson CSI 6500 platform for future-proofing. For direct replacement in existing racks, the 3500/62 136483-01 is the preferred choice.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace a 136483-01 with a 136483-02 or -03 revision?
A: In most cases yes — later revisions are backward compatible. However, always verify with Bently Nevada RCS software and confirm rack firmware version before swapping.
Q: Is the 3500/62 compatible with third-party 3500-format racks?
A: No. The 3500/62 is designed exclusively for genuine Bently Nevada 3500 Series racks. Third-party rack compatibility is not supported.
Q: Can this module be used as a standalone unit outside a 3500 rack?
A: No. The 3500/62 requires a 3500 rack for power, backplane communication, and relay output functionality.
Q: Do you provide calibration certificates?
A: Yes, calibration certificates are available for new units. For refurbished units, please request at time of order.
Q: What is the lead time for out-of-stock units?
A: Typically 5–15 business days depending on global sourcing. Contact us for real-time availability.
