FAQ
Q: Can the AO890 module operate independently?
A: No, it must be paired with TU890 (Ex applications) or TU891 (non-Ex applications) MTUs for proper functionality.
Q: What is the overload protection limit?
A: Each channel is current-limited to 22 mA, ensuring short-circuit protection without damaging connected devices.
Q: Is HART communication supported?
A: No, this module does not support HART or SOE features.
