Wiring the Console & Modules
Conduit must only enter the console enclosure through the designated 
knockouts as shown below in Figure 6. When installing additional modules, 
INCON recommends installing non-IS modules from left to right (from the 
open slot closest to the power supply) and IS modules from right to left. 
In this scenario, all unused slots will be concentrated in the middle of the 
enclosure, which lets the IS barrier be easily moved and allows for the 
possibility of adding future modules to the system without needing to rewire 
those devices already in place. It’s also a good idea to always start wiring 
your module at the bottom-most set of channels (usually Channel 1) to 
further future-proof your installation and avoid any unnecessary confusion.
It is important that intrinsically safe wiring only enter the console through 
IS knockouts, and non-intrinsically safe conduit only enter through non-IS 
knockouts. Maintain the integrity of the intrinsically safe modules by keeping 
probe and sensor wiring in conduit separate from all other wiring. Probe 
and sensor wiring may be run in the same conduit as long as they are both 
receiving power from the same console and the wire complies with NEC 
504.30 or applicable local codes.
