Installation Guidelines

Connection: The terminal is designed for use with standard flat-ribbon cables (1.27 mm spacing, AWG 28). Ensure correct orientation of the ribbon cable connector to prevent signal misalignment.
Mounting: Secure to a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) using the integrated lock. The terminal supports side-by-side mounting via a double slot and key connection.
Power Supply: The module consumes approximately 45 mA from the 24 V supply for internal operations (excluding field load). Ensure your power supply capacity accounts for the cumulative load of all 16 channels.
Environmental: The unit is IP20 rated. Maintain operation within the specified 0 to +55 degC range to ensure long-term reliability.
