Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the controller is mounted in a location protected from direct moisture and excessive heat.
- Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for all communication interfaces (RS-485/CAN) to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Verify that the DC supply voltage remains within the 8 to 40 VDC range to prevent logic resets or damage.
- Ensure proper grounding of the module chassis to the system common to mitigate noise.
- Always power down the unit before connecting or disconnecting I/O wiring or communication cables.
- Use appropriate wire gauges for current sensing inputs to ensure accurate measurement and prevent overheating.
