Description
The OMEGA OM2-8608 Backplane is a convenient mounting
system for up to eight signal conditioners, alarms and/or
controls. The backplane measures 7.5" x 16.5" and can be
mounted into a variety of standard 19" relay rack enclosures.
All connections are easily made with a screwdriver. The
screw terminal blocks will accept AWG wire sizes 22 to 16.
The OM2-8608 board is available with either an AC line or a
DC input power supply. The AC line model is available with
either 100, 115, 220, 230 or 240 Volt 50/60 Hz input. The DC
option is available for 10 to 36 Volts DC input or 24 to 72 Volts
DC. For noise suppression, power supply input and output
common mode choke filters are on the DC models and a
common mode choke filter is on the output of the AC model.
