GE-Emerson IC670CHS103 Field Control Hot Insertion I/O Terminal Block

The GE-Emerson IC670CHS103 Field Control Hot Insertion I/O Terminal Block is a generic wiring base that provides module mounting, backplane communications, and terminals for user connections. Two modules can be installed on one terminal block. Modules screw onto the terminal block for vibration resistance. Modules can be removed without disturbing field wiring.

The terminal block has two 20-pin male connectors for I/O wiring. The connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Any tin-plated contact in the AMP D-3000 series can be used with the connector. A crimping tool is not provided

The safety ground wire should be AWG #14, not more than 4in long.

This terminal block permits hot insertion/removal of modules without affecting the Bus Interface Unit or other modules in the I/O station. Hot insertion/removal can only be performed in non-hazardous locations.
