Wiring
ATTENTION
!
• Total current draw through the terminal base
unit is limited to 10A. Separate power
connections may be necessary.
• Do not daisy chain power or ground from the
thermocouple terminal base unit to any ac or dc
digital module terminal base unit.
• Make certain that the hook on the terminal base
you are installing is properly hooked into the
adjacent terminal base adapter. Failure to lock
the hook into the adjacent base/adapter can
result in loss of communication on the
backplane.
• Do not force the terminal base into the adjacent
base/adapter. Forcing the units together can
bend or break the hook and allow the units to
separate and break communication over the
backplane.

Wiring when total current draw is greater than 10A
Use this method when wiring
all analog modules and total
current draw through terminal
base units is greater than 10A.
Separate power supply can be brought in on last module in chain
if necessary. Make sure you do not jumper to adapter if using
this method.
