The faceplate of the module contains three electrical connectors

labeled Input", Analog I/O", and Input Power" (reading top to

bottom). The top connector is used for connection to the I/O port. A

cable (M/N 45C5) is provided for this purpose. The second

connector, labeled Analog I/O", is a numbered, 12Ćpoint removable

plug connector with screwĆtype terminal points. Three successive

terminal points are reserved for each channel's connection to

external hardware. The Analog Inputs" terminals are designed for

14Ć22 AWG wire.
The third connector on the faceplate, also a removable plug

connector with screwĆtype terminal points, is used for input power.

The terminal points are labeled. The top two points are used if the

power source is 24 VDC. The bottom two points are used if the power

source is 120 VAC. The Input Power" terminals are designed to use

14 AWG wire. A terminal stud for connecting a grounding conductor

is provided on the bottom of the rightĆhand mounting flange.
The module faceplate also contains two LEDs, a mode switch, and a

fuse holder and fuse. The LED labeled PWR OK" indicates that the

I/O port, the external power source, and the internallyĆgenerated

voltages necessary for operation of the module are present. The

COM OK" LED indicates whether all four channels are successfully

communicating with the host.
The switch labeled Mode" is used to select between Local Head"

and Rail" mode. Note that the position of the switch is read only

once at the time power is turned on to the Reliance device that is

connected to the Analog Rail module. The mode will remain fixed as

long as this device is powered up.
As shipped from the factory, the fuse holder on the bottom of the

faceplate contains a .25A fuse for 120 VAC input power. If input

power will be 24 VDC, you need to replace the fuse with the .75A

fuse included along with the Analog Rail module.
