1. Introduction
The tM-AD5C is an analog input module that includes 5 differential analog input
channels and provides a programmable input range on all analog inputs (+/- 20 mA, 0 ~
20 mA, 4 ~ 20 mA). The sampling rate of the tM-AD5C is adjustable and is available in
either fast or normal mode and It also provides 4 KV ESD protection as well as 2500
Vrms intra-module isolation.

3. Block/ Wiring Diagram
• Use 26-12 AWG wire for signal
connections.
• Strip the wire to a length of 7±0.5mm.
• Use a crimp terminal for wiring.
• Avoid high-voltage cables and power
equipment as much as possible.
• For RS-485 communication, use
insulated and twisted pair 24 AWG
wire, e.g. Belden 9841.
