Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical
equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls
(Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://www.literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes some important differences between solid
state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because
of the wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment
must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages
resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the
many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc.
cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams.

Environment and Enclosure
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial
environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in
IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 meters without
derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment
according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate
precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to
conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open type equipment. It must be
mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those
specific environmental conditions that will be present and
appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from
accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure must be
accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this
publication may contain additional information regarding specific
enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain
product safety certifications.
See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as
applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by
different types of enclosure. Also, see the appropriate sections in
this publication, as well as Industrial Automation Wiring and
Grounding Guidelines, Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1, for
additional installation requirements pertaining to this equipment.
POINT I/O is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use
zinc plated, yellow-chromated steel DIN rail to assure proper
grounding. Using other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or
plastic) which can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors can result
in improper or intermittent platform grounding.

ATTENTION
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can
cause internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these
guidelines when you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging
when not in use.

The 1734-EPAC ac expansion power supply passes 120/240V ac field power
to the I/O modules to the right of it. This unit extends the backplane bus
power for up to 17 I/O modules to the right of the supply, and creates a new
field-voltage partition segment for driving field devices. The number of I/O
modules supported by this power supply depend on the current required for
each module and the DIN-rail mounting position. Do not exceed the current
draw as shown in the specifications.
The ac expansion power supply also separates field power from I/O modules
to the left of the unit, effectively providing functional and logical partitioning
for:
POINT I/O 120/240V ac Expansion Power Supply 5
• separating field power between input and output modules.
• grouping modules to perform a specific task or function.

ATTENTION
WARNING
You can use multiple ac expansion power supplies with POINT I/O adapters
to assemble a full system. For instance, if you are using the 1734-ADN
adapter, you may use an ac expansion power supply to add additional modules
in 4 to 17 module increments. For example, if you had a 36 module system
with a 1734 POINT I/O adapter, you would have two 1734-EPAC ac
expansion power supplies to provide more PointBus current for modules to
the right of the supply.
You can only use the 1734-EPAC ac expansion power supplies with the
1734 POINT I/O adapters, such as the 1734-ADN, 1734-ADNX,
1734-APB, 1734-ACNR, and 1734-AENT adapters.
Do not use with the 1734-PDN module or with POINTBlock modules.
Install the ac Expansion Power Supply
To install the power supply on the DIN rail, proceed as follows.
1. Position the power supply vertically above the DIN rail.
2. Engage the interlocking side pieces with the unit on the left.
3. Press down firmly to install the power supply on the DIN rail.
The locking mechanism will lock the power supply to the DIN rail.
Remove an ac Expansion Power Supply from the DIN Rail
1. To remove ac expansion power supply from the DIN rail, pull up on
the RTB removal handle to remove the terminal block.
When you insert or remove the power supply while backplane
power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to
contacts on both the power supply and its mating connector.
Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect
power supply operation.

WARNING
When you connect or disconnect the removable terminal block (RTB)
with field-side power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This could
cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that
power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
2. Remove the module to the right of the power supply from its base
unit.
3. Use a small-bladed screwdriver to rotate the DIN-rail locking screw to
a vertical position.
This releases the locking mechanism.
4. Lift straight up to remove.
Replace an ac Expansion Power Supply
1. Remove the module to the right of the ac expansion power supply
from its base unit.
2. Position the ac expansion power supply vertically above the DIN rail.
3. Slide the power supply down allowing the interlocking side pieces to
engage the adjacent modules (both left and right sides).
4. Press firmly to seat the power supply on the DIN rail.
The power supply locking mechanism will snap into place.
5. Reinsert the module into the base to the right of the power supply.
