GE IC697MDL740 Discrete Output Module

Operation of the 24/48 Volt DC 2 AMP Output Module

Output Characteristics:The 24/48 Volt DC 2 Amp Output Module is compatible with a wide variety of load devices, such as:Solenoids and motor starters
Indicators,The rating of 2 amps per point applies to the long–term capacity of each point.  Because of overall heat dissipation within the module,
the maximum current capacity for each group of four outputs is limited to 4 amperes.Each output on this module is capable of transiently
conducting a surge current that is much greater than its long–term current rating. 
The rate at which such surges can be repeated depends on the current rating of the device and the duty cycle (percent of time the device is ON). 
For typical incandescent devices operating at a 50% duty cycle, the following repetition rates apply.

Fault Mode Selection:The module can be configured from the programmer
so that output points assume one of two states in response to certain operating or default conditions.
Maintain existing output state.Turn outputs OFF.This is explained in more detail in the programming manual.

Fusing:Each group of 4 outputs is fused with a 10-Amp slowacting fuse (see Note below). 
Replace with either of the following slow-acting types:Bussman MDA-10
Littelfuse 326010
