General Parameters Use the general parameters to configure the units of temperature that will be
used by the XM-361 and XM-362 modules and to enable the relay reset switch
terminals on theses modules. The general parameters in the EDS file also
show the cold junction temperature and whether the cold junction
temperature is over or underrange.
Channel Parameters The channel parameters define the characteristics of the inputs you will be
using with the XM-361 and XM-362 modules. Use these parameters to
configure the sensor type, sensor range, and time constant. There are six
instances of the channel parameters, one for each channel.
General Parameters
Parameter Name Description Values/Comments
Temperature Units Sets the temperature units for the module. Options: Deg C
Deg F
Cold Junction Temperature (EDS
File only) Shows the temperature at the module’s terminal
block junction.
Cold Junction Underrange (EDS
File only) Shows that the cold junction temperature is less
than the valid operating range. Possible values: Not underrange
Underrange
Cold Junction Overrange (EDS
File only) Shows that the cold junction temperature is greater
than the valid operating range. Possible values: Not overrange
Overrange
Enable/disable the relay reset switch terminals on
the XM-361 and XM-362 modules. When this
parameter is enabled, the Channel 6 input terminals
and the Channel 6 4-20 mA output terminals are
made available to wire an external relay reset switch
for remote reset. See page 24 for wiring details.
Note that Channel 6 is not available for configuration
if the Enable Relay Reset Switch is enabled.

TIP
The Channel LED will flash red when a sensor-out-of-
range condition exists on the channel even if you are not
using the channel. You can keep the Channel LED from
flashing red on unused channels by shorting the
thermocouple input terminals together.
XM-361 Note: The unused Channel’s Sensor Type must
also be set to a thermocouple (NOT an RTD).
TIP
Channel 6 is not available for configuration if the Enable
Relay Reset Switch Terminals parameter is enabled.
