Wiring Safety and Considerations

Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
•
Consider all accessible channels to be hazardous live and an
electric shock hazard if any channel is connected to a
hazardous voltage source.
•
Do not remove, touch, or change the internal wiring of
hazardous inputs until the input source is turned off.
•
Remove inputs from hazardous voltage sources before an
input module is opened.
•
Use the correct terminals, function, and range for
measurements.
•
Make sure proper insulation is maintained between channel
wiring terminations and that no loose strands are outside of
the terminal block connections.

Caution
To prevent damage to the Product, do not exceed the specified
input voltage levels.
Shielded wires and sensors (such as thermocouples) should be used in environments
where "noisy" voltage sources are present. When shielded wiring is used, the shield is
normally connected to the L (low) input terminals for each channel. Alternate
configurations should be examined for each equipment application.
