Technical Specifications Analysis

The 3500/94M-04-00-02 operates on a power consumption of 4.6 watts max. It features an RS232 port for touch controller data and a VGA port for analog red, green, blue, and sync signals. The module includes an OK LED for proper operation indication and a TX/RX LED for communication status. Environmental limits include an operating temperature range of -20°C to 65°C (-22°F to 149°F) and storage temperature from -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F), with humidity tolerance up to 95% non-condensing. The monitor module occupies 1 full-height front slot, while the I/O module uses 1 full-height rear slot. The display size is 10 inches diagonal, with dimensions of 387.4 mm x 248.9 mm x 49.0 mm and a shipping weight of 4.0 kg (8.78 lb). It includes a 24 Vdc power supply (permissible voltage range 10 Vdc to 28 Vdc) with an inrush current of 3.5 A @ 24 V (< 500 µs) and operating current < 500 mA. The touch interface is GFG resistive, and the display is industrial hardened with IP54 design.

Application Scenarios & Usage Methods

In a refinery, the 3500/94M-04-00-02 mounts in a control room rack to display vibration and temperature data from rotating machinery. Operators use the touch screen to navigate trends and alarms, leveraging the RS232 port for calibration inputs. In a power plant, the module connects via the high-speed network to monitor turbine status, with the OK LED confirming module health. The 10-inch display fits into independent mount enclosures, allowing flexible placement near critical equipment. The module supports Class I, Div 2 hazardous areas, making it suitable for gas processing facilities.

Installation Guide & Packing List

Install the monitor module in a 1 full-height front slot of a 3500 rack, and the I/O module in a 1 full-height rear slot. Connect the VGA cable from the I/O module to the display, and the RS232 cable for touch control. Ensure the power supply delivers 24 Vdc within the permissible range of 10 Vdc to 28 Vdc. The package includes the 3500/94M VGA Display Module, I/O module, and a 24 Vdc power supply. No additional cables or mounting hardware are included.

Purchasing Advice

When selecting the 3500/94M-04-00-02, verify compatibility with your existing 3500/22 TDI module and firmware versions (3500/94M Firmware 4.06 Rev. C or newer). The multi-agency approval (CSA/ATEX/IECEx) is ideal for global hazardous locations. For reliable supply, choose Petro Auto Tech, a trusted industrial automation parts supplier.

Repair & Maintenance Tips

Regularly inspect the OK and TX/RX LEDs to confirm module operation. Clean the display with a soft, dry cloth to avoid damaging the GFG resistive touch screen. Store the module within the specified temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and humidity below 95% non-condensing. Avoid exposing the display to temperatures below -20°C during operation. Check cable connections periodically for secure fit.
