Replacing the fuses 

 DANGER 

Risk of electric shock! 
Risk of serious injury or death due to electric shock. Some parts of 
the main board may still carry 230 V voltage even with the device 
physically isolated from the 230 V power supply. 

 

Before you remove the covers, completely isolate the device 
controller from the power supply.

 

Verify that the main circuit board is voltage-free.

Fusing is provided on the I/O module's main circuit board. 

Microfuse F1 (250 V, 0, 16 A slow) 

Proceed as follows: 
1.

Disconnect the I/O module from the power supply.

 

Pull the power plug from the bus module.

2.

Open the terminal space cover.

3.

Remove the housing cover.

4.

Replace the defective fuse.

5.

Re-attach the housing cover.

6.

Close the terminal space cover.

7.

Reconnect the power supply for the module.

The fuse replacement is completed.
