Insert the two printed cards into their slots.
Connect the flat cable between them.
Connect the front panel flat cables. The
panel must be inserted into the grooves on
both sides of the case while pressing down
until a distinct "click" is heard. Assembly is
completed by laying the terminal strips in
place.

Note: The terminal strips are polarized and must not be placed backwards.

5. CURRENT INPUTS

The eight 4-20mA current inputs are marked as channels 9-16. These inputs are
for current only. The "COM" input is the return for all the current channels. It is
possible to connect any current source, as long as a closed loop is maintained.
