Installing the I/O Module
The module can be installed before or after base installation. Make
sure that the mounting base is correctly keyed before installing the
module into the mounting base. In addition, make sure the mounting
base locking screw is positioned horizontal referenced to the base.
1. Using a bladed screwdriver, rotate the keyswitch (2) on the
mounting base clockwise until the number required for the
type of module being installed aligns with the notch in the
base. Refer to page 1-17 for the keyswitch position.
2. Make certain the DIN rail locking screw is in the horizontal
position. (You cannot insert the module if the locking
mechanism is unlocked.)
3. Insert the module straight down into the mounting base and
press to secure. The module will lock into place.

WARNING
When you insert or remove the module while 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.
