Installation Guide

1. Power down the rack and remove the slot cover.
2. Insert the module into an available X80 backplane slot and secure with the captive screw.
3. Connect field wiring via the 40-pin terminal block, observing polarity and grouping.
4. Install the recommended external fuses on each channel group.
5. Power up and verify RUN LED and channel status indicators.

Selection Tips

• Choose BMXDAI1615 for high-voltage AC discrete sensing in process applications.
• Select the H (hardened) version if extended temperature or corrosive environments are required.
• Pair with preformed cordsets such as BMXFCW series for simplified wiring.
• Confirm firmware compatibility when used in remote X80 drops.
