Installation Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance and compliance with industrial standards, follow these installation practices:

• Mount the module securely onto a standard 35mm DIN rail within an enclosed control cabinet.
• Use shielded, twisted-pair cabling for all analog input connections to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Ensure the shield of the analog cables is properly grounded at a single point, typically at the cabinet entry or the module's ground terminal.
• Maintain adequate clearance around the module to facilitate natural convection cooling and prevent overheating.
