MS-IOM1710-0
Part No. 24-10144-9, Rev. G
Release 5.0
Issued January 4, 2010
Supersedes October 6, 2008
Applications
The Input/Output Module (IOM) 1710 is a member of
the Metasys® system Field Equipment Controller
(FEC) family. The IOM controller provides increased
capacity to larger FEC applications when used on the
Sensor Actuator (SA) Bus. The IOM controller can also
be used on the Field Controller (FC) Bus to connect
additional physical points to the system.
IMPORTANT: In Metasys system smoke control
applications, use only the IOM1710 models that are
UL Listed, UUKL 864 Listed, Smoke Control
Equipment. See Repair Information
UUKL 864 Listed IOM1710 models. For Metasys
system smoke control applications, you must refer to
the Metasys System UL 864 UUKL Ninth Edition
Smoke Control System Technical Bulletin
(LIT-12011252) for detailed requirements and
procedures for installing and operating UUKL 864
Listed Metasys system devices. Failure to meet the
requirements or follow the procedures in the
Metasys System UL 864 UUKL Ninth Edition Smoke
Control System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011252)
can void the UUKL 864 listing for Smoke Control
Equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when this equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference
at his/her own expense.
Canada
This Class (A) digital apparatus meets all the
requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la Classe (A) respecte
toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel
brouilleur du Canada.
Installation
Observe the following guidelines when installing the
IOM controller:
• Transport the IOM controller in the original
container to minimize vibration and shock damage
to the IOM.
• Do not drop the IOM controller or subject it to
physical shock.
Materials and Special Tools Needed
Y ou need either of the following items to install the IOM
controller:
• three fasteners appropriate for the mounting
surface (#8 screws or M4 screws)
• one 20.3 cm (8 in.) or longer piece of DIN rail and
appropriate hardware for mounting the DIN rail
Mounting
Follow these guidelines when mounting an IOM
controller:
• Ensure that the mounting surface can support the
IOM controller and any user-supplied enclosure.
• Mount the IOM controller in the proper orientation.
See the Wall Mount Applications
Mount Applications section.
• Mount the IOM controller on an even surface
whenever possible.
• Use shims or washers to mount the unit securely
on the mounting surface.
• Mount the IOM controller in areas free of corrosive
vapors and observe the environmental limitations
listed in the Technical Specifications
and DIN Rail
section.

are prone to vibration, such as duct work, or in
areas where electromagnetic emissions from other
devices or wiring can interfere with IOM controller
communication.
• Allow sufficient space for cable and wire
connections (minimum of 51 mm [2 in.] in each
direction).
On panel or enclosure mount applications, observe
these guidelines:
• Do not install the IOM controller in an airtight
enclosure.
• Mount the IOM controller so that the enclosure wall
or the transformer does not obstruct ventilation of
or radiate heat into the IOM controller housing.

Wall Mount Applications
Use the holes in the mounting clips for wall mount
applications.
To mount the IOM controller on a wall or other vertical
surface:
1. Ensure that the bottom mounting clip(s) are pulled
outward and snapped firmly into the extended
position and that the top clip is securely installed
(Figure 2).

2. Mark the location of the wall mount holes using the
dimensions in Figure 2, or hold the IOM controller
up to the wall as a template and mark the locations.
Note: Mount the IOM controller horizontally for
proper airflow.

3. Drill holes in the wall at the locations marked in
Step 2 and insert wall anchors (if necessary).
4. Position the IOM controller and insert the screws
through the holes in the mounting clips, and
carefully tighten all the screws.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the mounting
screws. Overtightening the screws may damage the
mounting clips or IOM housing.

To mount the IOM controller on a DIN rail:
1. Securely mount the section of DIN rail horizontally
and centered in the required space.
2. Carefully pull down (outward) the bottom mounting
clip(s) until they lock in place (Figure 2).
Note: The top mounting clip is not used on DIN
rail applications. You may remove the clip.
To wire the IOM controller:
1. Terminate wiring per engineering drawings.
2. If the IOM is connected to the FC Bus of a Network
Automation Engine (NAE) or Network Control
Engine (NCE), wire the FC Bus in a daisy chain
(Figure 5).
s
3. Hang the IOM controller on the DIN rails using the
DIN rail hooks on the back of the IOM controller.
4. Secure the IOM controller on the DIN rail by
pressing the bottom mounting clips up until they
snap into place.
To remove the IOM controller from the DIN rail, snap
the bottom DIN clips to the outboard position and
carefully lift the IOM controller off the DIN rail.

Wiring
IMPORTANT: Do not connect 24 VAC supply
power to the IOM controller before finishing wiring
and checking all wiring connections. Short circuits or
improperly connected wires may result in permanent
damage to the equipment.
IMPORTANT: User copper conductors only. Make
all wiring in accordance with local, national, and
regional regulations. The IOM controller is a
low-voltage (<30 VAC) device. Do not exceed the
IOM controller electrical ratings.
to the IOM controller. Static elec tric discharge can
damage the IOM controller and void any warranties.
Refer to the MS/TP Communications Bus Technical
Bulletin (LIT-12011034) for more information on
Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP) devices.
IMPORTANT: Prevent any static electric discharge

which is used to power the MS-BTCVT (Figure 7).
Note: If the IOM controller is at one end of the SA
Bus daisy chain, set the End-of-Line (EOL) switch
to ON.
