Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the ControlLogix chassis is powered down before inserting or removing the 1756-CFM module to prevent electrical damage.
- Verify the module is fully seated and the locking mechanism is engaged to ensure reliable backplane communication.
- Use appropriate 1756-TBNH or 1756-TBSH Removable Terminal Blocks (RTBs) for secure wiring connections.
- Maintain proper ventilation within the cabinet to stay within the 60 degC maximum operating temperature threshold.
- Route signal cables away from high-voltage or high-EMI sources to maintain signal integrity for flowmeter inputs.
