FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Technical Specifications:

Q: What are the maximum and minimum load currents for each output point?

A: Each point has a 0.5 A maximum continuous current and a 50 mA minimum load current.

Wiring & Installation:

Q: Can the two output groups be powered from different phases of the AC supply?

A: Yes, each group has an isolated common, allowing separate AC phase usage.

Troubleshooting & Compatibility:

Q: How is the IC693MDL310 module protected against overcurrent and noise?

A: Each group is protected by a 3 A fuse, and RC snubbers are used for transient noise suppression.

Replacement & Upgrades:

Q: Is this module suitable for driving high-inrush inductive loads like motors or solenoids?

A: Yes, it offers a high inrush current rating of 5 A maximum for one AC cycle.
