FAQ

Q: What is the difference between BMXDAO1605 and BMXDAO1615?
A: BMXDAO1605 handles 100 to 240 V AC; BMXDAO1615 handles 24 to 240 V AC with isolated channels.

Q: What terminal block does this module require?
A: The module accepts 20-pin removable terminal blocks such as BMXFTB2010 (screw) or BMXFTB2020 (spring).

Q: Is there a severe environment version available?
A: Yes. BMXDAO1605H features enhanced coating for harsh environments with extended temperature range.

Installation Guide

1. Install the module in any available X80 rack slot
2. Attach the appropriate 20-pin removable terminal block
3. Connect AC load wiring to the terminal block per the wiring diagram
4. Verify load voltage matches the 100 to 240 V AC specification
5. Energize the rack and verify channel LEDs indicate proper status

Selection Tips

• Select BMXDAO1605 for standard 100 to 240 V AC triac output applications
• For 24 to 240 V AC isolated outputs, choose BMXDAO1615
• For severe environments, select the BMXDAO1605H variant
• Verify total AC load current does not exceed module per-channel ratings
• Order compatible 20-pin terminal blocks as separate line items
