• Spring-cage push-in wiring terminals, no screwdriver required for fast field cable connection
• Test point reserved on each channel terminal for multimeter signal measurement without wire disassembly
• Integrated cable strain relief clamp to avoid wire pulling damage terminal contacts
• Plastic housing with channel number silk-screen printing, convenient field wiring identification
• Daisy-chain power bus terminal for centralized 24V DC safety power distribution

Structural Characteristics

Working Principle

Installation Requirements

1. Mount on 35 mm standard DIN rail inside control cabinet, install within 0.5 m distance of matched FS-SDO-0824 module
2. Internal ribbon cable supplied by Honeywell original factory, cannot replace with ordinary flat cable
3. Field cable stripping length controlled at 6 mm, fully inserted into spring terminal without exposed copper wire
4. Separate safety signal wiring and non-safety analog wiring with minimum 20 mm spacing inside cabinet
5. Cabinet grounding bus connected to FTA metal mounting clip for anti-static shielding
6. Leave 20 mm vertical space above and below terminal block for heat dissipation and wiring operation

Use & Maintenance Precautions

• Do not connect wire cross-section larger than 1.5 mm² to spring terminals, will cause loose contact
• Regularly check terminal spring elasticity every 6 months; aging springs lead to poor contact heating
• If self-recovery fuse repeatedly trips, inspect field cable short circuit or load overload fault first
• Do not disassemble internal plastic partition between channels, cross-channel short circuit risk will occur
• Avoid chemical solvent contact with plastic housing; solvent will cause plastic cracking and deformation
• Keep cabinet internal clean, dust accumulation on terminals leads to leakage current and signal deviation
