Inputs
Each input can be operated from a thermocouple (TC) or resistance
temperature detector (RTD). Do not apply any nonintrinsically safe
signals to this module.
When using an intrinsically safe electrical apparatus according to EN50020,
the European directives and regulations must be followed.
The channels in this module are electrically connected to each other and have
a common plus-line.
IMPORTANT
When interconnecting several lines, you must consider the
total accumulated power and check for intrinsic safety.
