FAQ

Q: Do I need a terminal block for this module?
A: Yes, the IC695ALG600 requires a removable terminal block (IC694TBx032 or IC694TBS032 series) for field wiring.

Q: What CPU firmware is required?
A: The module requires an RX3i CPU running firmware version 2.80 or later.

Installation Guide

1. Power down the RX3i rack (or use hot-swap capability).
2. Insert the IC695ALG600 into any slot of the RX3i universal backplane.
3. Install the removable terminal block (IC694TBx032).
4. Connect field analog signals to the appropriate channel terminals.
5. Configure channel types and scaling via RX3i programming software.
6. Verify calibration and accuracy using known reference signals.

Selection Tips

• For 12-channel isolated thermocouple input, consider IC695ALG312.
• For 6-channel thermocouple input, consider IC695ALG306.
• For analog output, consider IC694ALG392 or IC695ALG728.
• Ensure terminal block (IC694TBx032) is ordered separately.
