Introduction

The 32 Channel Analog Input Card provides high accuracy analog measurements. This card also
functions as a supervised digital input card when used with the 3099/21-x01 termination modules.
Available model numbers include:
3148 32 Ch Analog Input Card w/ HART, for Single Configuration, 4 - 20 mA
3149 32 Ch Analog Input Card w/ HART, for Redundant Configuration, 4 - 20 mA
3150 32 Ch Analog Input Card, for Single Configuration, +/- 20 mA, 0-20mA, 4 - 20mA
3151 32 Ch Analog Input Card, for Redundant Configuration +/- 20 mA, 4 - 20mA
3152 32 Ch Analog Input Card, Voltage, +/- 10V
3153 32 Ch Supervised Digital Input Card

Immunity to noise is enhanced with a single pole low pass filter.

The requirement to partial stroke a valve can be accomplish by using the partial stroke object
along with a HART feedback signal indicating that the valve did in fact move.
The HART interface is not SIL certified and the communications are compliant with HART
physical layer specifications.
For Supervised Digital Input, further filtering (e.g. removing contact bounce effects of relays) can
be performed in software using the Bool Hold Open Hold Closed (HOHC) object.
I/O bus checking diagnostics, card address tests, and configuration tests are performed each
time the controller accesses the card. All data and control transfers are performed twice, once
using the actual data and then using the inverted data. Both versions of the data are compared
to verify that all I/O bus data bits are functioning properly. The configuration code from the card is

5
compared to the I/O configuration to check that the correct card is installed in the rack. I/O Bus
slot address and control signal contention tests also are performed. Any fault detected sets
status bits in an error detection variable returned to the user application program.
An indicator LED, located near the top of the front panel, indicates the overall health status of the
card. If this LED is on, the card is functioning normally; if it is off, the card is offline. If this LED is
on, but the card is shown in red on the NetArrays IOC screen and cannot be enabled, this
indicates an error in the cards calibration data. In addition, 32 LEDs on the 24 VDC supervised
digital termination module indicate the status of each of the 32 digital input channels.

For long term accuracy, the calibration channels should be monitored to the desired accuracy
tolerance.

Fuse Rating of Power Supply
to the Termination Modules: Not to exceed 40 A.
Effect of Incorrect Field Wiring: Shorted connections produce zero analog input reading.
Shorted supervised digital inputs will produce an ON state
and will annunciate the short in the channel error status
word. Open connections produce incorrect analog input
reading in voltage mode. In current mode, open connections
will produce zero analog input, which is annunciated as out-
of-range in 4-20 mA configurations. Open supervised digital
inputs will produce an OFF state and will annunciate the
open in the channel error status word. Reverse connections
produce (sign) inverted analog input readings in voltage
mode. In current mode, reverse connections will produce
negative analog input reading, which is annunciated as out-
of-range in the error status word.

Cabling
Adhere to the specified insulation strip length of 0.26 inches (6.5 mm) when you connect field
wiring to the terminal modules; an excessive insulation strip length causes an electrical hazard.
Do not exceed the specified torque when you secure the wires into the terminal module;
maximum torque is 2.2 inch-pounds (0.25 N-m).

Standard cables to termination modules are minimum 5 feet in length.

You must disable (offline) an I/O card before you can hot-swap it. After you replace an I/O card,
you must enable it to return it to operation. It must be also disabled (offline), if making online
changes and removing it from a redundant configuration. While NetArrays is operating in Debug
mode, use the I/O Configuration Form to disable or enable I/O cards. To hot swap an I/O card,
first display the card’s icon in the I/O Configuration Form. If the I/O card’s icon is red, you can
remove it. If the I/O card’s icon is yellow or green, select the icon and disable it before you
remove the card. After you replace the I/O card, select the card’s icon and re-enable it. The
color of the icon changes to green to indicate the card is online.

Warning! Dangerous high voltages may be present at the cards’ terminal blocks during
normal operation. When you service these cards, avoid contact with exposed voltages
on the card while you connect the field cabling. The field cabling terminal block
connectors also may have high voltages when disconnected from the card.

Warning! Never remove the card from the chassis with the termination cables
connected and the field power applied. Always disconnect the field power and cables
before removing the card from the chassis. Always insert the card into the chassis with
the cables and field power disconnected.

All terminal blocks are 2-tier and across the bottom of the termination. Pins 1 - 24 are the top
row. Pins 25 - 48 are the bottom row.

Software Configuration
NetArrays Configuration
When used as an Analog Input card, each input channel is assigned a Floating-point variable
which will measure the analog inputs in Voltage. Current measurements are reported to the
NetArrays application in Voltage, via use of a 250 Ohms precision resistor on each channel. For
example, 4 to 20 mA signals will show in NetArrays as 1 to 5 Volts.

When used as a Supervised Digital Input card (3153 model only), each input channel is assigned
Boolean variable which will measure if the channel is on (True) ,off (False), open or shorted.

 3152 Analog Input Card Properties

Redundant Card ID (3149)

A unique Redundant Card ID must be assigned to the cards to identify them as being part of the
same parallel redundant group when the inputs of two or three of these cards are connected in a
parallel redundant configuration to one HART enabled device.

21
The Redundant Card ID number assigned to one group must not be assigned to any other group
of parallel redundant cards.

Float Cal High

The Cal High variable is a floating-point voltage equal to 9.0 volts (±0.09V). It is derived from a
fixed calibration voltage source on the card. This input can be used to test the card’s calibration
and performance. NetArrays assigns a default Tag to this variable when the card is added to the
I/O configuration.

Float Cal Low

The Cal Low variable is a floating-point voltage equal to 0.0 volts (±0.03V). It is derived from the
ground on the card. This input can be used to test the card’s calibration and performance.
NetArrays assigns a default Tag to this variable when the card is added to the I/O configuration.

Integer Card Revision

The card revision is an integer value, which equals to the revision number of the PLD code.
NetArrays assigns a default Tag to this variable when the card is added to the I/O configuration.
Reassign this Tag as required to access this card revision in the project program.

Integer Cal Date

This is an encoded date when the card was calibrated in the format YYDDD where YY is the last
2 digits of the year and DDD is the day within the year.

Integer Cal Serial Number

This is a serial number recorded when the card was calibrated.

Integer Error Detection

The Error Detection input is an Int Variable that can be used to detect an I/O card failure.
NetArrays assigns a default Tag to this variable when the card is added to the I/O configuration.

A Card Timeout Error (Bit 0) will set the Error Latch bit (Bit14), which will remain set until this bit is
cleared to zero by an operator. While the Error Latch is set, the card will be offline and the target
node will not attempt to communicate with it. Note that most cards do not use all the status bits
shown. Any unused bits will always equal zero.

Bit 14 Card Error Latch

This status bit indicates that a Card Timeout Error occurred on the I/O card, and that it
has been taken offline. The card will not be initialized or placed online until this bit is
cleared in the project program or operator intervention.
If this bit is set, it must be cleared to return the card to operation. The correct way to
clear this bit is to select the card’s icon in the I/O configuration Form while NetArrays is
operating in Debug mode and answer “Yes” to the Enable prompt. See I/O Card Status
and Control. (It is also possible to change the value of this variable by forcing an Integer
Bit Variable object, with Bit 14 selected in the object's properties, to zero. Do not clear
the entire Error Detection Integer Variable to zero.)

Bit 10 Fault Test Error

PLD calibration errors are annunciated through this bit.
Bit 9 Backplane Bus Data Error

22
 This status bit indicates that a data error was detected in a data or command transfer to
or from an I/O card.
Bit 8 Data Invalid
This status bit indicates that the I/O card is not ready to send valid data.
Bit 7 Card ID Does Not Match I/O Configuration
This bit indicates that the ID code read from the I/O card does not match the card type
specified in the NetArrays I/O configuration.
Bit 6 Card Specific Error
This bit indicates a PLD hardware timeout error.
Bit 5 Cable Detect Error
This bit indicates either that the cable between the I/O card and the termination block is
not connected, or that the ±15 voltage converter on the card has an error.
Bit 3 Cal High
This bit indicates that calibrated voltage sources Float Cal High is outside tolerance.
Bit 2 Cal Low
This bit indicates that ground voltages Float Cal Low is outside tolerance.
Bit 1 Channel Failure
This bit indicates that the card has a failure on one or more of its channels. Examine the
channel specific error status word to isolate the failed channel(s).
Bit 0 Card Timeout Error
This bit indicates that there was no response from the I/O card. The card is not returning
a ready test signal, is offline, or has been removed from the chassis. This bit sets the
Card Error Latch (Bit 14).

Integer Channel Error Status 00

The Channel Error Status 00 is an Int Variable that returns fault indications for channels 0 through
15. A failure consists of channel fault or out of guard band limits. A 1 indicates a fault is detected
on the channel. NetArrays assigns a default Tag to this variable when the card is added to the
I/O configuration.

Integer Channel Error Status 01

The Fault Status 01 is an Int Variable that returns fault indications for channels 16 through 31. A
failure consists of channel fault or out of guard band limits. A 1 indicates a fault is detected on
the channel. NetArrays assigns a default Tag to this variable when the card is added to the I/O
configuration.

23
Analog Input Channel Properties

Channel
Each channel may be configured as a Float input or Disabled. If "Float" is selected, the channel
returns a floating-point voltage.

If "Disabled" is selected, the channel is disabled. You can disable any unused channel to avoid
scanning unconnected inputs.

I/O Tag
Each Float input channel is accessed by a Float Variable object. NetArrays assigns a Tag to
each channel when the card is added to the I/O configuration. Reconfigure the I/O Tag as
required to match the Module Form Variable object that is used to access the channel input.
Note! All unused un-terminated I/O points must be disabled in IO Configuration.

Filter
If required, a triple-cascaded recursive filter is available for each channel. A filter weight must be
assigned to enable the filter for the channel. Enter a weight factor of 10 through 2000. The
filtering effect increases as the weight value increases. The filtering for each cascade can be
expressed as:

Where: Xn is the input to the filter

Yn is the output from the filter
Yn-1 is a weighted portion of the previous output

Selecting a filter parameter of “None” disables recursive filtering of the channel’s input.

Threshold
If the threshold value is exceeded, the filter will reset to the new input value. The units are in mV
if the inputs are configured in Float.

SOE Low
In RTP3000S, RTP3000D, RTP3000T and RTP3000Q as well as RTP3100S and RTP3100D, the
SOE Low parameter specifies the low SOE trip point for the channel’s input. If the input falls
below this value, an SOE event record is stored in a special buffer within the Chassis Processor.
These records may then be logged by the RTPADA utility in an archival file. If both the SOE Low
and SOE High parameters are set to 0.0, SOE processing is disabled for the channel. The
RTP3000M and RTP3100M do not provide SOE.

24
SOE High
In RTP3000S, RTP3000D, RTP3000T and RTP3000Q as well as RTP3100S and RTP3100D, the
SOE High parameter specifies the high SOE trip point for the channel’s input. If the input rises
above this value, an SOE event record is stored in a special buffer within the Chassis Processor.
These records may then be logged by the RTPADA utility in an archival file. If both the SOE Low
and SOE High parameters are set to 0.0, SOE processing is disabled for the channel. The
RTP3000M and RTP3100M do not provide SOE.

HART (3148 and 3149)

This column specifies the tag of a float variable that returns the measurement of the HART
variable which has been commanded to be read. NetArrays assigns a Tag to each entry in this
column when the card is added to the I/O configuration. Reconfigure the I/O Tag as required.

Command (3148 and 3149)

The Card supports following HART Universal Commands:
Command 0 : Disable Channel
Command 1 : Read Primary Variable
Command 3 : Read Dynamic Variable defined in Variable Property

Variable (3148 and 3149)

This is HART variable code which is used for reading of the specific variable from the HART
compatible device. When command 3 is used, this variable reads Primary Dynamic Variable if
code is set to 0, Secondary Dynamic Variable if code is set to 1, Tertiary Dynamic Variable if
code is set to 2 or Quaternary Dynamic Variable if code is set to 3.

Status Tag (3148 and 3149)

This column specifies the Tag of a Integer Variable that returns HART compatible Device status
Integer. NetArrays assigns a Tag to each entry in this column when the card is added to the I/O
configuration. Reconfigure the I/O Tag as required to match the Module Form Variable object that
is used to access the Status input.
Bit 6: Command is invalid
Bit 5: Command is not implemented
Bit 4: Device Retry Error
Bit 3: No Connection
Bit 2: Board Error
Bit 1: Device Communication Error
Bit 0: Remote Device Error Status

Enable Comm Tag (3148 and 3149)

This column specifies the Tag of a Boolean Variable that is connected with PST object Test
Running Status Output. If this variable value is true the HART card starts polling for data, which
are used as HART Input in PST object.

Guard Band Low

This parameter defines the lowest input voltage that can be read without a channel being
reported in error in the Integer Channel Error Status word. This value can be either the direct
voltage input or the voltage impressed across the input current to voltage resistor. The default
value of –10.1 is the lowest value allowed. Set the value to define the correct under-voltage
threshold for the input channel.

25
Guard Band High
This parameter defines the highest input voltage that can be read without a channel being
reported in error in the Integer Channel Error Status word. This value can be either the direct
voltage input or the voltage impressed across the input current to voltage resistor. The default
value of +10.1 is the highest value allowed. Set the value to define the correct over-voltage
threshold for the input channel.

Software Setup using the RTP HART Multiplexer
and Valvelink™
Prerequisites:

RTP HART Multiplexer (RTPHMX.EXE):

This application is installed on the computer when installing RTP Netsuite. The PC running the
RTP HART Multiplexer software will require at least one com port. This PC will be the computer
with RTP NetSuite installed and will be connected to the Node with a HART capable RTP I/O
Card in its hardware configuration. If communications fails between the PC and the HART valve
controller the Valvelink software will report the failure.

Emerson Process Management Valvelink™:

This software is used to communicate with the HART valve controller. This software must be
obtained and installed separately by the customer.

RTP HART Multiplexer Software Setup

By left clicking on the File pull down menu the user can save a configuration or reload an existing
configuration file.

By left clicking on the Execute pull down menu the user can choose to Run or Stop the loaded
configuration.

The Valvelink™ software will not communicate with the HART Card controller unless the RTP
Multiplexer is in Run mode

Left click in the field that you wish to configure.

Serial Port: Choose COM2 here unless it is in use by another device. COM1 should be reserved
for the Valvelink™ software.

Baud Rate: The two serial com ports must be set to the same baud rate in the computers Device
Manager and this setting must match that baud rate as well.

Device: In this field select the controller that has the RTP HART Communications Card in the
Hardware configuration.

Configure Multiplexers: Double-Left clicking on this field will open the Multiplexer Configuration
pop-up window shown below. Serial Port, Baud Rate, and Device must be defined before the
Multiplexer Configuration pop-up window will become available.

33
Multiplexer: The Multiplexer address. Available options are 0 - 15.

Subnode: The Multiplexer subnode.

For the 32-Channel cards, Subnodes are grouped together in order to account
for all 32 channels. The even Subnodes represent channels 0 -15. The odd
Subnodes represent channels 16 - 31.
For example, if the 3240, 32-Channel HART Enabled AI card, is in Chassis 2,
Slot 5, Subnode 0 would be used for channels 0 - 15 and Subnode 1 would be
used for channels 16 - 31.

Loop: Represents the channels on the HART capable RTP I/O Card.
For the 32-Channel cards, even Subnodes represent channels 0 -15. The odd
Subnodes represent channels 16 - 31.
For example, Subnode 0 Loop 4 represents RTP I/O card Channel 4.
Subnode 1 Loop 4 represents RTP I/O card Channel 20.

Chassis 1: Chassis number of primary card. Available options are 0 -15.

Card 1: Primary card slot number in chassis. Available options are 0 - 18.

Chassis 2: Chassis number of redundant card. Available options are 0 -15.

Card 2: Redundant card slot number in chassis. Available options are 0 - 18.

In the above example the primary card is in slot 3 of chassis number 0 and optional redundant
card is in slot 3 of chassis number 1. The card is found in the hardware configuration of the
NetArrays program and the HART valve controller is wired to Channels 0 to 15.

Note: The RTP HART Multiplexer must be configured correctly and be in Run mode before
Continuing onto the following steps.

RTP HART Multiplexer (RTPHMX.EXE):

This application is installed on the computer when installing RTP Netsuite. The PC running the
RTP HART Multiplexer software will require at least one com port. This PC will be the computer
with RTP NetSuite installed and will be connected to the Node with a HART capable RTP I/O
Card in its hardware configuration.

Cornerstone:
This software is used to communicate with the HART instruments. This software must be
obtained and installed separately by the customer.

To interface with the RTP HART Multiplexer, you will need to have the Cornerstone
communication library for MTL4840 / MTL8512, licensed for as many instruments as you need to
track concurrently. As well as Module Libraries for all the brand/model instruments you wish to
track.

RTP HART Multiplexer Software Setup

By left clicking on the File pull down menu the user can save a configuration or reload an existing
configuration file.

By left clicking on the Execute pull down menu the user can choose to Run or Stop the loaded
configuration.

The Cornerstone software will not communicate with the HART Card controller unless the RTP
Multiplexer is in Run mode

Left click in the field that you wish to configure.

Serial Port: This comm. port should be connected to configured comm. port in Cornerstone
software. Note, this field is not restricted to the ports listed and is editable, should you need to
use ports other than those listed.

Baud Rate: The two serial com ports must be set to the same baud rate in the computers Device
Manager and this setting must match that baud rate as well.

Device: In this field select the controller that has the RTP HART Communications Card in the
Hardware configuration.

41
Configure Multiplexers: Double-Left clicking on this field will open the Multiplexer Configuration
pop-up window shown below. Serial Port, Baud Rate, and Device must be defined before the
Multiplexer Configuration pop-up window will become available.

Multiplexer: The Multiplexer address. Available options are 0 - 15.

Subnode: The Multiplexer subnode.

For the 32-Channel cards, Subnodes are grouped together in order to account
for all 32 channels. The even Subnodes represent channels 0 -15. The odd
Subnodes represent channels 16 - 31.
For example, if the 3240, 32-Channel HART Enabled AI card, is in Chassis 2,
Slot 5, Subnode 0 would be used for channels 0 - 15 and Subnode 1 would be
used for channels 16 - 31.

Loop: Represents the channels on the HART capable RTP I/O Card.
For the 32-Channel cards, even Subnodes represent channels 0 -15. The odd
Subnodes represent channels 16 - 31.
For example, Subnode 0 Loop 4 represents RTP I/O card Channel 4.
Subnode 1 Loop 4 represents RTP I/O card Channel 20.

Chassis 1: Chassis number of primary card. Available options are 0 -15.

Card 1: Primary card slot number in chassis. Available options are 0 - 18.

Chassis 2: Chassis number of redundant card. Available options are 0 -15.

Card 2: Redundant card slot number in chassis. Available options are 0 - 18.

42
In the above example the primary card is in slot 3 of chassis number 0 and optional redundant
card is in slot 3 of chassis number 1. The card is found in the hardware configuration of the
NetArrays program and the HART valve controller is wired to Channels 0 to 15.

The HART Card that appears first in the I/O configuration must be the first card listed in the
redundant pair of the Multiplexer Configuration.

Note: The RTP HART Multiplexer must be configured correctly and be in Run mode before
Continuing onto the following steps.

Cornerstone Software Setup

To set up the Cornerstone software to connect to the RTP HART Multiplexer follow the steps
below.
From the Setup menu select Communications Libraries…

In the Setup Communications Library dialog, select MTL4840 / MTL8512 ComLib , and click
Setup…

From MTL ComLib window select the Setup Communications dialog.

43
On this screen leave Auto Configure unchecked.
In the pulldown for Search for Instruments on Loops: select “Single analog – address 0 only”

Click Add… to configure a new HART network.

Enter a network name to identify your HART network, select Communications Port for that
network, and speed. Leave Master Operation at the default of Primary. Click Add when
done.

44
Optional – Configure custom node names. Click Nodes…
In the Setup Nodes dialog click Add…

In the Add Node dialog enter a Node Name and select a Network.
The Node Address is the Multiplexer number used in the RTP HART Multiplexer configuration.

Note about node addresses: Cornerstone allows addresses 1-31, however you may only use
addresses 1-16 in order to communicate with the RTP HART Multiplexer.

Click Add to add node. The dialog will remain open to let you add more nodes with different
names/address, click close when done adding nodes.

Click OK/Close on all dialogs once done configuring the Communication Library.
For any changes to the Communication Library configuration, Cornerstone will ask to restart the
networks. That can be done by using the Network->Restart… menu or exiting and restarting
Cornerstone.

On restart, Cornerstone will scan the configured networks.

Note – this could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the number
of instruments.

45
In order to use any instruments, Cornerstone will need to add the instruments to its database. To
do that it will have to “Learn” and then “Reconcile”.
From the Network menu select Learn.

In the Enhanced Network Learn dialog select any new network you wish to scan. You can select
multiple networks here by using shift/ctrl clicking. If you didn’t configure any Nodes, in the
optional Nodes dialog above, and nothing is visible in the list, you may check the All Nodes option
for Cornerstone to scan all possible Node addresses.
If you wish to track configuration changes in the Cornerstone database you will also need to
check the Reconcile Database option.

Click Learn to begin the network/instrument discovery process.

46
During the learning process Cornerstone will iterate through all the selected Nodes, identifying all
available sub-nodes. After that, it will cycle through each Node, Sub-Node, and Loop.

Once learn is completed, then it will Reconcile all the instruments found with its database.

Once complete it will output the reconcile report.

Setup complete. You may now monitor/calibrate instruments within Cornerstone by selecting one
from the Active Instrument list and connecting.

Important Note about Node, Sub-Node, and Loop #s. Any address # 16 seen in Cornerstone,
corresponds to # 0 in the RTP HART Multiplexer. Addresses 1-15 correspond equally between
Cornerstone and RTP, only.

47
NodeLoop 16-16 in Cornerstone is Sub-Node 0, Loop 0 in RTP HART Multiplexer.

48
Copying the current scan data of the HART Multiplexer to the clipboard.
With the Multiplexer running, Select Menu->Edit then Copy.

The information can be pasted into a text or spreadsheet document.

(EU) to comply with the requirements of the CE Mark and its referenced standards. The
procedures in this section apply also to other environments where provisions of the EU’s EMC
and Low Voltage Directives are either required or desirable.
RTP Corporation has successfully tested and reviewed its products to the stringent requirements
of the European Union’s EMC Directives (2004/108/EC) and Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC).
In order for the equipment to meet the requirements of these directives, the equipment
must be installed and operated in accordance with these instructions.
These tests and reviews are in accordance to EN 61131-2:2007 as listed in the next section.
Information on the tests performed and the standards involved is available from RTP Corporation.
To comply with the requirements of the CE Mark and its referenced standards, the system
integrator, installer, and end user must store, integrate, install, and operate this equipment in
accordance with the following guidelines.
1. Compliance with all product specific instructions (including but not limited to storage
instructions, installation instructions, operating instructions, maintenance instructions,
disposal instructions, and specifications) is required.
2. RTP equipment is rated for use in Installation Category (Overvoltage Category) II and
Pollution Degree 2 environments in accordance with standard IEC 664.
3. To assure that an Operator is not exposed to electrical hazards, all equipment capable of
electrical hazards must be housed in a grounded enclosure (equipment cabinet/rack) that
limits access to the equipment only to Service Personnel. Limited access may include
enclosure doors and side panels, which are locked or require a tool to open. To assure
compliance with the EMC requirements, the equipment must be housed in an enclosure
(equipment cabinet/rack) that provides EMC shielding. Compliance testing was
performed in a shielded equipment rack provided by Hoffman Concept® Wall Mounted
Enclosure model number CSD242420. To assure compliance, the equipment must be
installed in this style cabinet, or one with similar or greater RF attenuation characteristics.
The cabinet should be outfitted with continuous copper finger gasketing and copper foil
along all seams and joints.
4. The Service Personnel must be trained to operate the equipment and must be aware of
the potential of electrical hazards of the equipment and of the field I/O signals connected
to the equipment.
5. Hazardous voltage warning labels must be applied to the enclosure doors adjacent to the
locking mechanisms to warn the Service Personnel that hazardous voltages are
contained within the enclosure, if modules carrying 120 V and above are used.
6. Hazardous voltage warning labels also must be applied to the termination modules
(which carry 120 V and above), adjacent to the external connectors, to warn the Service
Personnel that hazardous voltages are present at the module's terminal blocks.
7. To assure compliance with the EMC requirements, the equipment must have all
communications, power, and field signal cabling exiting the enclosure enclosed in metal
conduits or shielded wireways. These conduits must provide EMI/RFI shielding and must
be terminated at the enclosure shell. There must be no uncovered openings in the
cabinet. Connections between the cabinet and conduit must be made with conduit
connectors making good (low impedance) electrical contact to the enclosure. Input
mains power to the enclosure and mains power fed to switching digital output I/O cards
and modules must be filtered by AC mains filters with attenuation characteristics of

50
 Corcom VR series filters or with similar filters with equal or greater attenuation
characteristics.
8. DC input mains power to the enclosure and mains power must be filtered by a DC mains
filters with attenuation characteristics of Corcom 6EH1 series filters or with similar filters
with equal or greater attenuation characteristics.
9. Insulation strip length of 0.26 inches (6.5 mm) is required on all field wirings to the I/O
card termination modules.
10. The disposal of any electronic products must be in accordance with local regulations (e.g.
Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste electrical
and electronic equipment). Some RTP Corporation products contain materials that may
be detrimental to the environment. These materials may include, but are not limited to
lead (in solder) and lithium (in batteries).
11. Prior to storage or shipping, the equipment must be packaged in accordance with the
following guidelines:
● Inventory all items and inspect all components for damage.
● Verify that all fasteners are properly tightened and that the chassis I/O module
retaining bar is properly installed.
● Wrap the chassis assembly in plastic bubble wrap.
