9. Repeat steps 1…6 for each channel. For each unused input

channel, jumper together the plus (+), minus (–), and common
(ANL COM) terminals. For each unused output channel, do not
connect terminals.

Minimize Ground Loops

To keep the ground-loop currents of input circuits to a minimum, we
recommend that you:

• use the same power supply to power both input channels of a

module.

• otherwise, tie together the grounds of separate power supplies.

See Wiring Schematic for Single-ended Current-loop Analog Input
Connections for more
information.

IMPORTANT

Single-ended inputs are less immune to noise than are
differential inputs.

Important: The module does not provide loop power for analog inputs.
Use a power supply that matches the transmitter specifications.
