Allen-Bradley 1746-RL70 Octal Label Kit

Description

The Allen-Bradley 1746-RL70 is a maintenance and identification accessory designed specifically for high-density digital modules within the SLC 500 platform. This Octal Label Kit provides clear, professional-grade terminal identification for 32-point modules, ensuring that wiring remains organized and traceable during system operation and maintenance.

Features

• Octal Addressing Support: Specifically designed to label terminals in octal format (0-7, 10-17, 20-27, 30-37), aligning with the SLC 500 processor addressing scheme.
• High-Density Compatibility: Optimized for 32-point I/O modules where terminal space is limited and clear identification is critical for safety.
• Maintenance Efficiency: Facilitates rapid identification of I/O points, reducing downtime during troubleshooting or module replacement.
• Durable Construction: Engineered to withstand the industrial environment of an SLC 500 rack assembly.

Applications

The 1746-RL70 is intended for use with 32-point digital I/O modules in the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series. It is commonly utilized in control cabinets where high-density wiring requires clear, error-free labeling to prevent miswiring during field service.

Installation Guidelines

• Surface Preparation: Ensure the module terminal block surface is clean, dry, and free of oil or dust before applying the adhesive labels.
• Alignment: Carefully align the label with the corresponding terminal rows to ensure the octal addressing (0-7, 10-17, etc.) matches the physical terminal layout.
• Application: Apply firm, even pressure across the label surface to ensure long-term adhesion.
• Verification: Verify that the labels are legible and correctly oriented before finalizing field wiring.

FAQ

Is the 1746-RL70 compatible with all SLC 500 modules?

No, this kit is specifically designed for 32-point "octal" digital modules, such as the 1746-OB32, 1746-IV32, 1746-OV32, and 1746-IB32. It is not intended for standard 8 or 16-point modules.

Can these labels be reused?

These are typically single-use adhesive labels. Once removed or repositioned, the adhesive strength may degrade, and it is recommended to use a fresh label for permanent installations.
