    • Connect positive (+24 VDC) of field device to input terminal; common (COM) per 8 inputs to ground.

  4. Wiring (Outputs – Sourcing):

    • Connect load between output terminal and ground (0 VDC).

    • For inductive loads (solenoids, motors): Install flyback diode across load to absorb voltage spikes.

  5. Torque: Tighten terminals to 0.5–0.6 N·m (14–22 AWG copper wire).

  6. Verification: Check connections; power on and confirm LED status.
