Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the PLC rack is powered down before inserting or removing the module to prevent electrical damage.
• The module must be seated firmly into the designated slot in the Series 90-70 backplane.
• Use appropriate wire gauges for the field terminal connections to ensure secure contact and prevent overheating.
• Maintain proper spacing for ventilation to prevent thermal buildup within the enclosure.
• Route AC output wiring away from low-voltage signal cables to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Verify that the field power supply matches the 120V AC rating of the module before energizing.
