-OB8EPK, -OB16, -OB16P and -OB16PK.

Compatibility

Installing Your Digital Output Module

The module mounts on a 1794 terminal base.

1. Rotate the keyswitch (1) on the terminal base (2)

clockwise to position 2 as required for this type of

module.

2. Make certain the flexbus connector (3) is pushed

all the way to the left to connect with the

neighboring terminal base/adapter. You cannot

install the module unless the connector is fully

extended.

3. Make sure the pins on the bottom of the module

are straight so they will align properly with the

connector in the terminal base.

4. Position the module (4) with its alignment bar (5)

aligned with the groove (6) on the terminal base.

5. Press firmly and evenly to seat the module in the

terminal base unit. The module is seated when the

latching mechanism (7) is locked into the module.

IMPORTANT

Observe the following additional Zone 2 certification
requirements.

This equipment is not resistant to sunlight or other

sources of UV radiation.

The secondary of a current transformer shall not be

open-circuited when applied in Class I, Zone 2

environments.

Equipment of lesser Enclosure Type Rating must be

installed in an enclosure providing at least IP54

protection when applied in Class I, Zone 2

environments.

This equipment shall be used within its specified

ratings defined by Allen-Bradley.

Provision shall be made to prevent the rated voltage

from being exceeded by transient disturbances of

more than 40% when applied in Class I, Zone 2

environments

The following information applies when
operating this equipment in hazardous locations:

Informations sur l’utilisation de cet équipement en
environnements dangereux :

Products marked “CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D” are
suitable for use in Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D,
Hazardous Locations and nonhazardous locations only.
Each product is supplied with markings on the rating
nameplate indicating the hazardous location
temperature code. When combining products within a
system, the most adverse temperature code (lowest
“T” number) may be used to help determine the overall
temperature code of the system. Combinations of
equipment in your system are subject to investigation
by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction at the time
of installation.

Les produits marqués "CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D" ne
conviennent qu’à une utilisation en environnements de
Classe I Division 2 Groupes A, B, C, D dangereux et non
dangereux. Chaque produit est livré avec des marquages
sur sa plaque d’identification qui indiquent le code de
température pour les environnements dangereux. Lorsque
plusieurs produits sont combinés dans un système, le code
de température le plus défavorable (code de température
le plus faible) peut être utilisé pour déterminer le code de
température global du système. Les combinaisons
d’équipements dans le système sont sujettes à inspection
par les autorités locales qualifiées au moment de
l’installation.

EXPLOSION HAZARD

WARNING

AVERTISSEMENT

ATTENTION

During mounting of all devices, be sure that all debris (metal
chips, wire strands, etc.) is kept from falling into the module.
Debris that falls into the module could cause damage on pow-
er up.

WARNING

If you remove or insert the module while the
backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur.
This could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations. Be sure that power is
removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding..
