Remove the Module
To remove a 1734-FPD or 1734-FPDK module, you must first remove any I/O module
installed in the base to the right. To remove the 1734-FPD or 1734-FPDK module from
the DIN rail, proceed as follows:
1. Pull up on the RTB removal handle to remove the terminal block.
2. Use a small-bladed screwdriver to rotate the DIN rail locking screw to a vertical
position. This releases the locking mechanism.
3. Lift straight up to remove.
Replace the Module
To install a replacement module in an existing system, proceed as follows:
1. Position the module vertically above the DIN rail.
2. Slide the module down to engage the interlocking sides pieces to the adjacent
modules on both the left and right sides.
3. Press down firmly to install the module on the DIN rail. The module locking
mechanism snaps into place.
WARNING: When you connect or disconnect the removable terminal
block (RTB) with field-side power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This can
cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding
