Installation Guidelines

• Ensure all power to the I/O system is disconnected before installing or removing modules from the carrier.
• Mount the carrier onto a standard 35mm DIN rail, ensuring it is securely locked in place.
• When wiring, ensure that terminal screws are tightened to the specified torque range (0.37 to 0.5 lb-ft) to prevent loose connections and potential signal degradation.
• Maintain proper cable routing to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) from high-voltage lines or high-frequency drives.
• Verify that the total current draw of the I/O modules does not exceed the capacity of the power supply connected to the carrier.
