DIN Rail Mounting and Removal
Refer to the following figure for mounting and removing a module from the DIN rail.
Mounting
A spring loaded DIN clip is located on the input side bottom. The rounded edge of the output side bottom allows the module to tilt upward so that it may be lifted from the rail when prying the spring clip back with a screwdriver. To attach a module to T-type DIN rail, angle the top of the module towards the rail and place the top groove of the module over the upper lip of the DIN rail. Firmly push the module downward towards the rail until it snaps into place.
Removal
To remove a module from the DIN rail, first separate the input terminal blocks from the bottom side of the module to create a clearance to the DIN mounting area. A screwdriver can be used to pry the pluggable terminals out of their sockets. While holding the module in place from above, insert a screwdriver into the lower path of the bottom of the module to the DIN rail clip and use it as a lever to force the DIN rail spring clip down while pulling the bottom of the module outward until it disengages from the rail. Tilt the module upward to lift it from the rail.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Wire terminals can accommodate 14–26 AWG solid or stranded wire. I/O wiring may be shielded or unshielded type. Terminals are pluggable and can be removed from their sockets by prying outward from the top with a flat-blade screwdriver.
Strip back wire insulation 0.25-inch on each lead and insert the wire ends into the cage clamp connector of the terminal block. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screw by turning it in a clockwise direction to secure the wire (0.5–0.6 Nm torque).
Since common mode voltages can exist on I/O wiring, adequate wire insulation should be used and proper wiring practices followed. As a rule, input wires are normally separated from power and load wiring for safety, as well as low noise pickup.

Power Connections
Six Channel Mechanical Relay Output Module
This module is powered from 12–32VDC (36VDC peak) by connecting power as indicated in the drawing below. This module can be optionally powered (or redundantly powered) via the DIN rail bus when coupled to the DIN rail bus connector (Acromag Model 1005-063) and a bus terminal block (Acromag 1005-220 or 1005-221). This optional method can allow several modules to share a single power supply without wiring to each individually.
IMPORTANT – External Fuse: If the module is powered from a supply capable of delivering more than 2.5A to the module, it is recommended that this current be limited via a high surge tolerant fuse rated for a maximum current of 2.5A or less
(for example, see Bel Fuse MJS or RJS fuse types).

Power Connections…
Six Channel Mechanical Relay Output Module
Power is normally connected to the TB3 power terminals of the module as shown on the previous page. However, this module is equipped to be optionally powered via its DIN rail bus connector provided (Acromag 1005-063), when mated to an optional plug-in terminal block (Acromag 1005-220 or 1005-221). Power input via the bus connector terminal is diode-coupled to the same point as power connected at TB4 power.
Multiple modules may be powered by snapping them together along the DIN rail bus, then using the mating terminal block shown at left (select a Left or Right side connector). While the intent of the bus power connector is to allow several modules to conveniently share a single supply, the bus power connector may also be used to redundantly power modules, allowing a backup supply to maintain power to the module(s) should the main supply at TB3 fail.
This module comes equipped with the bus connector 1005-063 shown below. This connector allows modules to snap together, side-by-side, along the DIN rail and share these connections. To complete connection to power, an optional bus terminal block is needed (Acromag 1005-220 for left-side, or 1005-221 for right-side connections). Refer to the figure on the previous page which shows how to wire power to the optional bus connector using these connectors.

Earth Ground Connections
The module housing is plastic and does not require an earth ground connection. If the module is mounted in a metal housing, an earth ground wire connection to the metal housing’s ground terminal (green screw) is usually required using suitable wire per applicable codes. Circuits wired to the input/power should be earth grounded as reflected in the connection diagrams. This module shunts transient energy to its ground. For this reason, earth ground should be applied closest to the module. See the Electrical Connections Drawings for input and power ground connections. The ground connections noted are recommended for best results and help protect the unit by giving it a low impedance path to earth for shunting destructive transient energy. Avoid inadvertent (extra) connections to earth ground at points other than those indicated, as this could drive ground loops and negatively affect operation.

BusWorks XTA-MRNO-6 Six Channel Mechanical Relay Output Module
Relay Output Connections
Each of the 6 mechanical relay output contacts (1 Form A) of the XTA-MRNO-6 will switch AC or DC loads at up to 250VAC/30VDC and 5A. Output relays of this module are energized using a 4V DC input threshold with a 0-32 VDC input range.
IMPORTANT: Output contact protection is required when switching inductive loads
(see drawing below). DC inductive loads should have a diode placed across the load terminals with the cathode at the positive load terminal as shown. AC inductive loads require a bipolar protection scheme and should use a Metal Oxide Varistor across the load terminals. These devices will shunt the high reverse emf voltages that develop across the inductive load when power to the load is switched off, thus preventing this potentially destructive transient voltage from being conducted across the connection media and helping to extend the life of the XTA-MRNO-6 output contacts.

BUS CONN
The XTA-MRNO-6 is designed as a DIN-rail mounted, interposing mechanical relay board, for driving higher power loads with digital output models of the BusWorks
I/O line. This design utilizes 6 separate buffered relay drivers for controlling 6 normally open, mechanical relays. Buffered inputs withstand DC voltages up to 32V
DC and trigger at 4V thresholds. Power for the input circuitry is driven by a widerange 12-32V, non-isolated, buck converter. LED’s in series with the relay coils indicate the energized (closed) relay state. Output contacts are individually isolated and can switch high voltages up to 250VAC and 30VDC, at high currents up to 5A.
The module includes an integrated bus connector that allows individual modules to snap together along the DIN rail and share a power connection using an optional terminal block. The bus power and power terminal connections are diode coupled to the same point in the circuit, allowing redundant/shared power connection.
Transient voltage suppressors and bypass capacitors help protect input and power terminals from potentially damaging transient energy.

Diagnostics Table
Before attempting repair or replacement, be sure that all installation procedures have been followed and that the unit is wired properly. If the problem still exists after checking power and wiring and reviewing this information, or if other evidence points to another problem with the unit, an effective and convenient fault diagnosis method is to exchange the questionable unit with a known good unit. Acromag’s
Application Engineers can provide further technical assistance if required. Repair services are also available from Acromag.
POSSIBLE CAUSE POSSIBLE FIX
Relays do not energize or channel LEDs do not light…
Input voltage is below 4V threshold.
Power supply voltage is too low.
Internal 7V rail has failed.
Relays have worn out.
You must drive the inputs above 4VDC to energize the relay.
Verify that at least 12VDC is being supplied to the module.
Return module for repair.
Mechanical relays have a finite contact life and are not intended for applications that require frequent, repetitive switching. Relays are a wear item and can be replaced at our factory if you suspect that they are worn out. Return module for repair.
Output is intermittent…
Missing earth ground connection.
Output contacts chatter…
Connect earth ground to Return (terminal).
Input signal is noisy, too low, or too near the 4V threshold.
DC input logic must cross the 4V threshold to energize the output. Inputs have about 100mV of hysteresis, but high input ripple or an input that hovers near the 4V threshold could cause the relay contacts to chatter on/off. Likewise, a missing earth ground connection at the return terminal could be driving noise on the input that affects output chatter.
Service & Repair Assistance
This module contains solid-state components and requires no maintenance, except for periodic cleaning. The Surface Mounted Technology (SMT) board contained within this enclosure is difficult to repair. It is highly recommended that a nonfunctioning module be returned to Acromag for repair, or replacement. Acromag has automated test equipment that thoroughly checks and verifies the performance of each module. Please refer to Acromag’s Service Policy and Warranty Bulletins on our web site, or contact Acromag for complete details on how to obtain repair or replacement.
