FAQ

Q: What is the maximum load per group?
A: The maximum load per group of 4 outputs is 4 Amps.

Q: Does the module have built-in fuses?
A: No. The IC694MDL940 does not have built-in fuses. Users should install external fuses for channel protection.

Selection Tips

• For 8-point relay output, consider IC694MDL930.
• For solid-state DC output, use IC694MDL740 or IC694MDL741.
• Install external fuses (2A recommended) for each output channel.
