Field Installation Guidelines
- Mount the module on a compatible TS32 or TS35 x 7.5 DIN rail and secure it according to the enclosure and rail manufacturer's instructions.
- Verify that the Control Processor(s) can supply 5 VDC within the specified +/-5% tolerance and support the module's maximum 500 mA current demand.
- Confirm RS485/RS422 signal polarity, terminal assignments, and the selected communication format against the applicable Honeywell wiring documentation.
- Route communication cables separately from high-voltage power conductors and high-noise switching circuits where practical.
- Apply cable shielding and grounding according to the system grounding design. Avoid creating unintended ground loops.
- Verify network termination and biasing requirements against the connected equipment documentation before commissioning.
- Confirm the installed module revision and system compatibility before applying power.
