Instructions

6 SLC 500 Thermocouple/mV Analog Input Module
Publication 1746-IN015C-EN-P - July 2001
Electrostatic Damage
Electrostatic discharge can damage semiconductor devices inside this module if you
touch backplane connector pins. Guard against electrostatic damage by observing
the following precautions:
Required Tools and Equipment
Have the following tools and equipment ready:
2.5 mm (0.1 in.) slot-head screwdriver
thermocouple or millivolt sensor
appropriate thermocouple extension wire (if needed)
thermocouple/mV input module (1746-NT8)
programming equipment
Power Requirements
The module receives its power through the SLC 500 chassis backplane from the
fixed or modular +5V dc/+24V dc chassis power supply. The maximum current
drawn by the module is shown in the following table.
ATTENTION
!
ELECTROSTATICALLY SENSITIVE COMPONENTS
Before handling the module, touch a grounded object to rid
yourself of electrostatic charge.
Handle the module from the front, away from the
backplane connector. Do not touch backplane connector
pins.
Keep the module in its static-shield container when not in
use or during shipment.
Failure to observe these precautions can degrade the module’s
performance or cause permanent damage.
