3... INTERFACE MODULES

By adding Interface Modules (Figure 3... -1), the OMP-MODL System Base can be expanded for additional I/O channels, modem, display, PCMCIA memory, and battery operation. A full family of modules is available to meet most signal interface and/or feature requirements.

This section covers the installation, wiring, hardware configuration, and application considerations of the basic OMP-MODL family of Interface Modules. As additional modules are added, the instruction sheets should be added to this section for reference.

Programming and use of added Interface Module channels is done with the HyperNet Program Net and is covered within Chapter 7 and the Master Icon Reference in Appendix A.

HANDLING

As with all electronic systems, static electricity discharge can weaken or cause permanent damage to circuitry. Protective circuitry is integral to the OMP-MODL system including the Interface Modules, however when the Interface Modules are not installed in the System Base, the protective circuitry is not effective. Therefore, when handling Interface Modules, it is recommended that reasonable static control procedures be followed.

♦Before touching the Interface Module, discharge static electricity built up in your body be touching a grounded point such as a water faucet, cover plate screw on a receptacle, metal surface of a grounded appliance or other earth ground.

♦Do not wrap or store the Interface Module in static generating materials such as untreated styrofoam packing `peanuts’ or
