Installation Instructions
Blow-molding Module
(catalog number 1746-BLM)
Before you begin
Use this document as a guide to installing and powering-up your Blow-molding
Module. We assume that you are already familiar with the SLC 500
™
family of Small
Logic Controllers and associated I/O modules.
Tools that you need
•
1/8” slotted screwdriver
Handling the Module
Take these precautions to guard against ESD damage:
ATTENTION
!
Electrostatic discharge can damage the module. Follow these
guidelines:
•
touch a grounded object to discharge potential static
•
wear an approved grounding wriststrap
•
do not touch circuit components inside the module
•
if available, use a static-safe work station
•
when not in use, store the module in its anti-static bag.
WARNING
!
Do not insert or remove this module while backplane power is
on. An electrical arc may occur that can cause an explosion in
a hazardous environment and/or cause damage to the module
or degrade its performance.
