Zero Two Series Modules do not have an ON/OFF power switch. Each module in the 
Zero Two Series operates from 24 VDC. Power requirements will vary according to 
the number and type of modules in the system, as well as the number and type of 
field devices.  

NOTE: 

If the application of power does not turn the Model TA502A ‘

ON

’, check Fuse F1.
