and common (C).
– Module 2 connects screws 4 and 5 and screws 6 and 7 for ease of wiring
power to the input device.
– Module 2 is not necessary for VHSC functionality.
– Module 2 serves only to ease customer wiring.
– Module 2 does not use a node address or consume power from the

Install the Mounting Base
To install the mounting base on the DIN rail, proceed as follows:
ATTENTION: This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground.
Use zinc plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The
use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can
corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent
grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm
(7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.
1. Position the mounting base vertically above the installed units (adapter, power
supply or existing module).
2. Slide the mounting base down allowing the interlocking side pieces to engage the
adjacent module or adapter.
3. Press firmly to seat the mounting base on the DIN rail. The mounting base snaps
into place.
ATTENTION: Do not discard the end cap. Use this end cap to cover the exposed
interconnections on the last mounting base on the DIN rail. Failure to do so
could result in equipment damage or injury from electric shock.
Install the Module
ATTENTION: When you insert or remove the module 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
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance that can affect module operation.
The module can be installed before or after base installation. Make sure that the mounting
base is correctly keyed before installing the module into the mounting base. In addition,
make sure the mounting base locking screw is positioned horizontal referenced to the base.

until the number required for the type of module being installed aligns with the
notch in the base.
Turn the keyswitch to align the number
with the notch (position 3 is shown).

Hook the RTB end into the
mounting base end, and
rotate until it locks into place.
Install the Removable Terminal Block
A removable terminal block (RTB) is supplied with your wiring base assembly. To remove,
pull up on the RTB handle. This allows the mounting base to be removed and replaced as
necessary without removing any of the wiring. To reinsert the removable terminal block,
proceed as follows:
1. Insert the end opposite the handle into the base unit. This end has a curved
section that engages with the wiring base.
2. Rotate the terminal block into the wiring base until it locks itself in place.
3. If an I/O module is installed, snap the RTB handle into place on the module.
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.

Remove a Mounting Base
To remove a mounting base, you must remove any installed module, and the module
installed in the base to the right. Remove the removable terminal block, if wired.
1. Unlatch the RTB handle on the I/O module.
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. Pull on the RTB handle to remove the removable terminal block.
3. Press on the module lock on the top of the module.
4. Pull on the I/O module to remove from the base.
ATTENTION: When you insert or remove the module 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
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance that can affect module operation.
5. Repeat steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 for the module to the right.
6. Use a small bladed screwdriver to rotate the orange base locking screw to a vertical
position. This releases the locking mechanism.
7. Lift straight up to remove.
