1. Overview

The T9803 is a 16‑channel, TMR‑isolated digital input termination assembly (TA) for the AADvance T9000 safety system. It provides field wiring interface for up to three T9401 / T9402 digital input modules, supporting 24 VDC discrete safety signals in ESD, F&G, BMS and critical process safety applications.
T9803 is the triple‑redundant, fully isolated counterpart to T9801 (simplex/common) and T9802 (dual/isolated), designed for maximum fault tolerance in SIL 3 safety loops.

2. Key Features

  • 16 digital input channels, TMR, fully isolated per channel

  • Connects to 1, 2, or 3 × T9401 / T9402 DI modules (TMR mode)

  • Channel‑to‑channel & field‑to‑backplane isolation (reinforced)

  • Per‑channel hot‑swappable fuses (500 mA, no module removal)

  • Input voltage: 18–32 VDC (nominal 24 VDC)

  • SIL 3 capable (IEC 61508, TÜV certified system)

  • TMR fault tolerance: single‑channel/module faults do not trip safety function

  • Field fault detection: open, short, overvoltage, ground fault

  • LED status per channel (front‑panel visible)

  • Conformal coated for harsh environments

  • Mounts to T9300 I/O base (3‑way) or T9100 chassis

  • Hot‑swap compatible (online replacement without system shutdown)
