Insert the module into any available I\/O slot in the SLC 500 chassis, taking care to align the rear card edge with the backplane connector. Secure the module using the top and bottom retaining screws. Verify all field AC wiring complies with local electrical codes and does not exceed the maximum voltage and current ratings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen-Bradley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53770307010923,"sku":"1746-OA16","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/3227\/0443\/files\/1746-OA16_1200x1200_c1a8203f-2c07-4f3c-9c38-eaf0fdf847b8.jpg?v=1787740882","url":"https:\/\/www.plcprotech.com\/products\/allen-bradley-1746-oa16-slc-500-discrete-ac-output-module","provider":"PLC ProTech Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
