Installation and Maintenance: GE IC693MDL340
Pre-installation Preparations:
Before installing the IC693MDL340, ensure the GE 90-30 Series rack is properly grounded and powered off. Verify that the input voltage (24V DC) matches the module’s requirements and that field wiring complies with GE’s specifications. Clean the rack slot and align the module with the guides, pushing it firmly into place until the retention clips engage. Connect the input wires to the terminal block, ensuring proper polarity and torque (1.2–1.5 N·m), and secure the wiring to prevent strain on the terminals.
