140AII33010 Intrinsically Safe Current Input Module
Overview The Quantum 140AII33010 Intrinsically Safe Current Input module interfaces with 
eight intrinsically safe analog inputs which are software-configurable. The module 
accepts 0 ... 20 mA, 0 ... 25 mA, and 4 ... 20 mA inputs. The module allows any mix 
and match of current input ranges that can be configured by the software. The 
module provides power to intrinsically safe transmitters located in hazardous areas. 
Specifications Specifications for the Quantum 140AII33010 Intrinsically Safe Current Input module 
are as follows.
Specifications
