FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Technical Specifications:

Q: What is the continuous isolation voltage between the field and the backplane?

A: Isolation is 250 Volts AC continuous between the field and backplane.

Wiring & Installation:

Q: What is the purpose of the two groups of eight outputs on the module?

A: Each group operates independently with its own ESCP and common power terminal.

Troubleshooting & Compatibility:

Q: What devices are compatible with this module's positive logic outputs?

A: Compatible loads include solenoids, motor starters, and indicator lights.

Replacement & Upgrades:

Q: What is the consequence of a short circuit on an output point protected by ESCP?

A: The affected output point turns off, and the red Fault LED activates.
