General Considerations

Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure to reduce the
effects of electrical interference. RTD inputs are susceptible to electrical noises
due to the small amplitudes of their signal.

Group your modules to minimize adverse effects from radiated electrical noise
and heat. Consider the following conditions when selecting a slot for the RTD
module. Position the module in a slot:

away from power lines, load lines and other sources of electrical noise such
as hard-contact switches, relays, and AC motor drives

away from modules which generate significant radiated heat, such as the
32-point I/O modules

Module Installation and
Removal

When installing the module in a chassis, it is not necessary to remove the
terminal block from the module. However, if the terminal block is removed,
use the write-on label located on the side of the terminal block, as shown
below, to identify the module location and type.
