FAQ

Q: What is the maximum total current for the module?
A: The maximum total output current is 3 Amperes across all 16 channels.

Q: What is the difference between IC694MDL340 and IC694MDL350?
A: The IC694MDL340 provides 0.5A per channel (16 points). The IC694MDL350 provides 2A per channel (16 points) with isolated outputs.

Installation Guide

1. Power down the RX3i rack before installation.
2. Insert the IC694MDL340 into any slot of the RX3i universal backplane.
3. Connect 120 VAC field wiring to the output terminals (2 groups of 8).
4. Verify isolation between groups if required.
5. Power up and test all 16 channels via RX3i programming software.

Selection Tips

• For higher current (2A) AC outputs, use IC694MDL350.
• For 12-point AC output, use IC694MDL310.
• For isolated 5-point AC output, use IC694MDL390.
• Ensure total module current does not exceed 3A.
