Field Installation Guidelines

1. Ensure all associated power supplies and system racks are completely de-energized and locked out (LOTO) prior to installing or wiring the module.
2. Route standard 4-20 mA current loop signal cabling carefully away from high-voltage power lines to preserve signal integrity and minimize noise interference.
3. Terminate field transmitter and valve positioner connections securely, ensuring proper shielding and grounding practices for isolated input channels.
4. Verify power supply voltage levels at 24 VDC and check communication loop continuity prior to restoring system power.
