 7  Digital Filtering for Analog Inputs 
The digital filter is updated once per conversion. It is an “IIR” running average filter 
that emulates a simple RC filter. The equivalent time constant is determined by the 
Filter Constant and the sum of the conversion times for the two channels. The Filter 
Constant determines the weight given to the most recent conversion. The following 
table lists the equivalent time constant for the three possible total conversion times, 
which are dependent upon the two input mode selections. This filter delay is in 
addition to the PLC scan delay.

(Nominal time to reach 63% of final value.)

 All applicable codes and standards need to be followed in the installation of this 
product. 
 Adhere to the following safety precautions whenever any type of connection is 
made to the module: 
 Connect the safety (earth) ground on the power connector first before making any 
other connections. 
 When connecting to electric circuits or pulse-initiating equipment, open their 
related breakers. 
 Do not
 make connections to live power lines. 
 Make connections to the module first; then connect to the circuit to be monitored. 
 Route power wires in a safe manner in accordance with good practice and local 
codes. 
 Wear proper personal protective equipment including safety glasses and insulated 
gloves when making connections to power circuits. 
 Ensure hands, shoes, and floor are dry before making any connection to a power 
line. 
 Make sure the unit is turned OFF before making connection to terminals. 
 Make sure all circuits are de-energized before making connections. 
 Before each use, inspect all cables for breaks or cracks in the insulation. Replace 
immediately if defective. 
• Use Copper Conductors in Field Wiring Only, 60/75° C

9 Safety 
 When found on the product, the following symbols specify: 
:Warning: Consult 
user documentation. 
Warning: Electrical 
Shock Hazard. 
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D or 
Non-hazardous locations only 
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – Substitution of components may impair 
suitability for Class I, Division 2 
AVERTISSEMENT - RISQUE D'EXPLOSION - LA SUBSTITUTION DE 
COMPOSANTS PEUT RENDRE CE MATERIAL INACCEPTABLE POUR LES 
EMPLACEMENTS DE CLASSE 1, DIVISION 2
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – Do not disconnect equipment unless power 
has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. 
AVERTISSEMENT - RISQUE D'EXPLOSION - AVANT DE DECONNECTOR 
L'EQUIPMENT, COUPER LE COURANT OU S'ASSURER QUE L'EMPLACEMENT 
EST DESIGNE NON DANGEREUX.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock or burns, always connect the safety 
(or earth) ground before making any other connections. 
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or physical injury it is strongly 
recommended to fuse the voltage measurement inputs. Be sure to locate fuses as 
close to the source as possible. 
WARNING:  Replace fuse with the same type and rating to provide protection against 
risk of fire and shock hazards. 
WARNING: In the event of repeated failure, do not
 replace the fuse again as a 
repeated failure indicates a defective condition that will not clear by replacing the 
fuse. 
WARNING: Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction and 
operation of this equipment and the hazards involved should install, adjust, operate, 
or service this equipment. Read and understand this manual and other applicable 
manuals in their entirety before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could 
result in severe bodily injury or loss of life. 
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the 
following two conditions: 
1.  This device may not cause harmful interference. 
2.  This device must accept any interference received, including interference that 
may cause undesired operation.
