ControlLogix Voltage/Current Input Module 13 Before installing the RTB, make certain: • field-side wiring of the RTB has been completed. • the RTB housing is snapped into place on the RTB. • the RTB housing door is closed. • the locking tab at the top of the module is unlocked. 1.
14 ControlLogix Voltage/Current Input Module Check the Indicators The indicators show CAL status (green) and a bi-colored LED for module "OK" (red/green). ANALOG INPUT 20962-M During power up, an indicator test is done and the following occurs: • The "OK" indicator turns red for 1 second and then turns to flashing green if it has passed the self-test.
ControlLogix Voltage/Current Input Module 15 Remove the Removable Terminal Block from the Module Shock hazard exists. If the RTB is removed from WARNING the module while the field-side power is applied, the module will be electrically live. Do not touch the RTB’s terminals.
