Additional Information
Installation & Maintenance
The GE IS200TCASS1ACB terminal board is designed for easy installation and maintenance. The board should be mounted on a clean, flat surface using the provided mounting hardware. Proper torque values should be observed when tightening terminal screws to ensure reliable connections without damaging the terminals. Regular maintenance includes periodic inspection of connections for tightness, cleaning of terminal blocks, and verification of labeling legibility.
When wiring the terminal board, it is recommended to use stranded wire with appropriate insulation for the application environment. Wire ends should be properly stripped and inspected for stray strands before insertion into terminals. Shielded cables should be used for analog signals, with the shield connected to the dedicated shield terminal. The board should be powered down before making any wiring changes to prevent damage to the control system components.
