By packing 16 Form A relay outputs into a single-slot chassis width, the module optimizes rack-space density. It draws nominal operating power directly from the 5 VDC and 24 VDC backplane buses to actuate internal coils. To prevent signal interference, optocouplers provide electrical isolation between the internal RX3i logic circuits and the external high-voltage field wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the IC694MDL940 include internal fuses to protect the output channels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the module does not have internal fuses.
