This is very important where property loss or human life is involved. It is important that you perform satisfactory overall system design and it is agreed between you and Acromag, that this is your responsibility.
Models isolate current or voltage input signals and can mate with grounded or non-grounded sensors. They drive separately isolated outputs that drive current or voltage at each output channel with support for 0-20mA, 4-20mA, or ±10V, ±5V, 0-10V, and 0-5V output ranges. Acromag, Inc.

DIN rail clip and use it as a lever to force the DIN rail spring clip down while pulling the bottom of the module outward until it disengages from the rail. Then simply lift it from the rail. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0880 - 5 - https://www.acromag.com...
Important – End Stops: For hazardous location installations (Class I, Division 2 or ATEX / IECEx Zone 2), it should utilize two end stops (like Acromag 1027‐222) to help secure modules to the DIN rail (not shown).

For sensitive applications with high-speed acquisition at the load, high frequency noise may be reduced significantly by placing a 0.1uF capacitor directly across the load, and as close to the load as possible. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0880 - 9 - https://www.acromag.com...
The unit is powered from 6-32V DC (36V DC peak) by connecting power as shown below. This transmitter can be optionally powered (or redundantly powered) via the DIN rail bus when coupled to an optional DIN rail bus connector (Acromag Model 1005-063) with a bus terminal block (Acromag 1005-220 or 1005-221). This optional power connection method can allow several modules to share a single power supply without wiring power to each power terminal block individually.
Important – End Stops: If this module uses the optionally powered (or redundantly powered) via the DIN rail bus for hazardous location installations (Class I, Division 2 or ATEX Zone 2) it should use two end stops (like Acromag 1027-222) to secure the terminal block and module (not shown).

An optional external sensor is required to monitor AC current signals for input to TB1 of the SP336 (see Acromag Model 5020-350). This toroidal sensor generates 0 to 11.17mA DC to drive the DC current input of this module with AC input current through its primary (see Table 1 of next page for scaling the AC current by number of primary turns).

This sensor is isolated and requires no calibration or adjustment. When used with a SP336 module, it also facilitates AC current input isolation from the ADC voltage input, as well as redundant input isolation with respect to each output of this transmitter.
