Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Ensure proper placement in the designated slot for plug-in modules. Consult the system documentation for required installation positions to maintain IP20 rating.
• Wiring: Connect field devices according to the terminal mapping provided in the documentation; ensure polarity is respected for the 24 V DC supply.
• Protection: Utilize the integrated reverse voltage protection to safeguard against accidental miswiring during installation.
• Environment: Ensure the ambient temperature remains within the -25 to +60 deg C range; avoid environments with condensation.
• Safety: Verify that the total load connected does not exceed the power supply limitations of the module or the backplane power rail.
