Installing the Analog Input Module

The module is set for block transfer operation andcalibrated at the factory
for the voltage or current range that you ordered.

CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can degrade performance
or cause permanent damage to the module. Follow the
guidelines on electrostatic discharge located at the beginning of
this chapter before handling the module.

Transfer Mode

You should change the mode of operation to single transfer if your
processor is one of the following:

PLC (now obsolete)
Mini-PLC-2 (cat. no. 1772-LN1, -LN2)

Refer to Chapter 5, “Setting These Switches,” for setting the Transfer
Mode switch to single transfer.

Signal Mode

Without recalibrating, you can change the 1 to 5 VDC or the 0 to 5 VDC
input voltage range to its corresponding 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 20 mA current
range. Refer to Calibration, chapter 5, for the location of the signal mode
switch assembly (Figure 5.1). Set all switches to the same setting as
follows:

If your module is calibrated for one of these two voltage ranges and you
want to change to the corresponding current range: set all switches ON.

If your module is calibrated for one of these two current ranges and you
want to change to the corresponding voltage range: set all switches OFF.

Changing to any other input range requires that you recalibrate your
module to obtain accurate operation.

Now that you have determined the power requirements, location, keying,
wiring, and grounding for the input module, you are ready to install it in
the chassis. Use the following procedure:
