Designed to provide a cost-effective upgrade path for legacy 3300 monitor systems, the 3500 ENCORE Series now offers two convenient upgrade packages. The newest edition – the 3500 ENCORE System – is designed as a standalone direct drop-in to existing 3300 panel cutouts, while the 3500 ENCORE Rack Upgrade, introduced in the July 2011 issue of Orbit magazine (V31N2), retains the 3300 chassis, I/O modules, and field wiring while upgrading the power supplies, system monitors, and monitor modules. Both packages provide continuous, online monitoring suitable for machinery protection applications.

| 3500/07E Instrument Chassis (required) |
| 3500/10E Power Supply (required, 120/230 VAC) |
