the Figure below. A two (2) position, straight through, terminal block
is provided for AC power connection. The terminal block is located
on the aluminum shelf at the edge of the circuit board. A fuse is
located next to the terminal block (3 AMP Slow-Blow).
NOTE: Some newer devices may have a combination
fuse/switch installed rather than the conventional fuse
pictured above. If the fuse/switch is installed, remember to
make sure that it is in the "on" position to operate the device.
I/O CONNECTIONS
All connections to the Rexcon Die Sentry are made through
optically isolated I/O modules. The modules are available in several
versions including DC input (WHITE), DC output (RED), AC input
(YELLOW), and AC outputs (BLACK). Refer to Appendix A for
detailed specifications about the various modules.
The DC modules are polarity sensitive. When wiring devices with
two terminals per module, the leftmost of the two terminals is the
positive terminal and the rightmost of the two is the negative or
ground terminal.
The input modules have an LED located on top of the modules to
indicate when the module is "ON." The module will go "ON" when
voltage is sensed across its two input terminals. The DC input
module's two input terminals are polarity sensitive. The output
modules act as switches and also have an LED on top to indicate
they are "ON", or in this case closed. When the LED is "ON", the
output is "ON" and current is allowed to flow between the module's
two terminals. The DC output module's two terminals are polarity
sensitive. The output modules also have a button type fuse on top.
Refer to appendix A for replacement information.
DIE PROTECTION INPUTS
The Die Sentry allows for five probes which can be independently
run in any of four modes - TIMED MODE, CAM MODE,
NORMALLY OPEN, NORMALLY CLOSED. Unused probes can be
turned off. Die protection requires one or two signals for each probe
to be used. Each TIMED or CAM probe channel needs a probe
connection and a limit switch connection. Limit switches may be
optionally chained together to operate multiple probes from one
signal. Probes that are to be used as NORMALLY OPEN or
