FIRE HAZARD

oUse only the correct wire sizes for the maximum current capacity of the I/O channels and power supplies.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Warning_Color.gifWARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Do not exceed any of the rated values specified in the environmental and electrical characteristics tables.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

*   Type T fuse

(1)   The V1+ and V2+ terminals are not connected internally.

(2)   The V1– and V2– terminals are not connected internally.

Warning_Color.gifWARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Ensure that the physical wiring respects the connections indicated in the wiring diagram, and, in particular, that both V•+ and V•- are connected, and that only 24Vdc is connected to the V•+ terminal(s) and only 0Vdc is connected to the V•- terminal(s).

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
