Inspecting Your Module

You can prevent many potential problems by simply inspecting your
analog module:

1. Ensure that all wire connections are correct and secure and that no

wires are missing or broken.

Before enabling a channel (through your ladder program),
ensure that you have not connected a voltage source to a
channel configured for a current input (and vice versa).
