Installation & Wiring Guidelines

• Insert the module into an available slot on a compatible TSX Micro base unit.
• Ensure the base unit's backplane can supply the required 220mA at 5V DC.
• Use the removable screw terminal block for field wiring connections.
• Connect each output channel to your AC load (lamp, solenoid, small contactor coil).
• Do not exceed 1 A per channel or 12 A total for the entire module.
• Provide proper external fusing or circuit protection for the main AC supply line.
• Route AC power wires separately from low-voltage signal cables to minimize noise.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What type of loads are triac outputs best suited for?

Triac outputs are ideal for switching AC loads like indicator lamps, small solenoid valves (AC coils), and relay coils. They offer fast, silent switching with no moving parts, unlike mechanical relay outputs.

• Can I use this module to control a 24V DC load?

No, this is an AC output module only (48-240V AC). Using it with DC voltage will cause the triac to latch on permanently, potentially damaging the module and the load. Use a DC output module for DC loads.

• What happens when the 5A internal fuse blows?

The fuse is not user-replaceable; it is integrated into the module's design. If a fuse blows due to a severe overload or short circuit, the individual output channel will stop working, and the entire module must be replaced.

• How do I calculate the total heat generated by this module?

Use the formula: 0.85W + (1W x Number of Active Outputs x Current per Output). For example, with 8 outputs at 0.5A each: 0.85W + (1W x 8 x 0.5) = 4.85W total dissipation. Ensure your panel cooling can handle this.

• Are the output channels isolated from each other?

The channels share a common AC supply connection. They are not individually isolated from each other but are optically isolated from the PLC's internal logic and backplane for safety and noise immunity.
