Field Installation Guidelines
Ensure the system rack power supply is completely de-energized and locked out (LOTO) prior to mounting or wiring the AAM50 module.
Slide the 130 x 30 x 100 mm unit carefully into the designated control panel slot, ensuring proper backplane pin alignment.
Terminate field wiring for the 4 to 20 mA DC outputs securely, maintaining correct shielding to leverage the channel isolation design.
Verify loop continuity and calibration settings across all 8 channels before restoring 24 VDC power and resuming system operations.
