SAFETY AND WARNING
As MAS-AO-08-D with front panel potentiometer calibration, must not be exposed to heavy shocks or vibration which may cause SCM to get out of calibration. To avoid Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) to the SCM, which may cause permanent damage, always ground yourself by touching some ground equipment. Before installation or beginning of any troubleshooting procedures the power to all equipment must be switched off and isolated. Units suspected of being faulty must be disconnected and removed first and brought to a properly equipped workshop for testing and repair. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be made by a company person only. Wiring must be carried out by personnel, who have basic electrical knowledge and practical experience. All wiring must confirm to appropriate standards of good practice and local codes and regulations. Wiring must be suitable for voltage, current, and temperature rating of the system. Beware not to over-tighten the terminal screws.

BLOCK DIAGRAM
INSTALLATION
Mounting:
Place the module with the DIN rail guide way on the bottom edge of the DIN rail and then snap it downwards. The housing is mounted on the DIN rail by swiveling it into place. The Horizontal mounting arrangement Shown here, allows good vertical air circulation .It is also recommended to keep the adequate gap between two SCM.
Removal:
Release the snap-on catch using a screwdriver and then detach the module from the bottom edge of the DIN Rail.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Unit Not Turning ON?
If RED LED on the module is ON, then the problem can be bad connection or due to incorrect rating of power fuse blows. If GREEN LED on the module is ON, it indicates the module is in healthy condition.
Unstable/Vague Reading
Check for loose connections.
First verify that all conventional instrumentation norms have been followed for wiring. Make noise away from the module. Check for ripple on power supplies of Input & Output section. Output not matching with the expected value Kindly make sure that the output is really incorrect with respect to input signal before attempting any re-calibration.
Fluctuation in Reading
The reason can be reverse input connections.
