Conversion Module Installation and Application Considerations

The voltage range of the B820-008 module is 10-60VDC and the 1756-OC8 is 30-60VDC. If the load source voltage is
less than 30VDC range, use the 1756-OB8.
 The B820-008 module output current limits versus 1756-OC8 limits are as follows:
B820-008 1756-OC8 w/ 1492-CABLE003U
a) Current/Point 2A 2A
b) Current/Group 6A - -
c) Current/Module 12A 8A
d) Surge Current/Pt 10A for 10ms 4A for 10ms
 The B820-008 has 4 groups (allowing 4 separate power supplies) and the 1756-OC8 has 2 groups. This module/cable
combination ties Groups 1 & 2 from the B820-008 to Group 0 on the 1756-OC8 and it ties Groups 3 & 4 from the B820-008
to Group 1 on the 1756-OC8. Field wiring modification must be made to accommodate this if multiple supplies were used.
If 4 supplies were used, 2 must be removed.
 The B820-008 provided a single fuse per group. The 1756-OC8 is NOT fused. The 1492-CM800-LD006 provides a
5x20mm fuse per 1756-OC8 Group. Fuse rating for this configuration is 4 Amps.

The 1492-CABLE003U current is limited to 2A per pin.
 Refer to your B820-008 and 1756-OC8 Installation Manual wiring schematics and diagrams. Ensure 1756 output
module ratings are not exceeded. [Reference Doc: 41170-768 (Version 03)]

There are several key application considerations and system specifications (bottom of drawing) when
using these components (conversion module, cable and output module). Read and understand these
considerations before installation. In addition, refer to the current draw requirements of the existing
loads for this configuration to ensure they are within the current ratings of the 1756 output module. WARNING
