3508 and 3504 Process Controllers
This instrument is intended for permanent installation, for indoor use only, and to be enclosed in an
electrical panel.
Select a location where minimum vibrations are present and the ambient temperature is within 0 and
50
C (32 and 122
F).
o
o
The instrument can be mounted on a panel up to 15mm thick.
To assure IP65 and NEMA 4 front protection, use a panel with smooth surface texture.
Please read the safety information before proceeding and refer to the EMC Booklet part number
HA025464. For details not covered in this guide a 3500 Engineering Manual part no. HA027988 is
available. These documents may be downloaded from www.eurotherm.co.uk.

Plug in I/O Module Connections

Plug in I/O modules can be fitted in three positions in the 3508 and six positions in 3504. The
positions are marked Module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. With the exception of the Analogue Input module, any
other module listed in this section, can be fitted in any of these positions. To find out which
modules are fitted check the ordering code printed on a label on the side of the instrument. If
modules have been added, removed or changed it is recommended that this is recorded on the
instrument code label.

Wiring
Wire Sizes
PV Input
The screw terminals accept wire sizes from 0.5 to 1.5
mm (16 to 22AWG) and should be tightened to
T/C RTD mV
mA
0.4Nm (3.5lb in). Hinged covers prevent hands or
metal making accidental contact with live wires.
For module functionality see 'Quick Code'.
The function of the connections varies depending on the type of module fitted in each position and
this is shown below.
Note: The order code and terminal number is pre-fixed by the module number (x). For example,
Module 1 is connected to terminals 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D; module 2 to 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, etc.
All modules are isolated 240Vac CATII.
Snubbers
Snubbers are used to prolong the life of relay contacts and to reduce interference when switching
inductive devices such as contactors or solenoid valves. The fixed relay (terminals AA/AB/AC) is
not fitted internally with a snubber and it is recommended that a snubber be fitted externally. If
the relay is used to switch a device with a high impedance input, no snubber is necessary.
All relay modules are fitted internally with a snubber since these are generally required to switch
inductive devices. However, snubbers pass 0.6mA at 110V and 1.2mA at 230Vac, which may be
sufficient to hold on high impedance loads. If this type of device is used it will be necessary to
remove the snubber from the circuit.
The snubber is removed from the relay module as follows:-
1. Unplug the controller from its sleeve
2. Remove the relay module
3. Use a screwdriver or similar tool to snap out the track.
The view shows the tracks in a Dual Relay Output module.

I/O are, however, not isolated from the PV input circuit, so this does not allow the use of 3 or 4 wire
