3 ADAM-4000 Series User Manual
Chapter 1 Introduction
Panel/DIN Rail mounting
ADAM modules can be mounted on any panels, brackets, or DIN rails. They can also
be stacked together. The RS-485 network, together with screw-terminal plug connec-
tors, allows for system expansion, reconfiguration, and repair without disturbing field
wiring.
Protection against the environment
Since all the configurations are controlled by software, the protection provided by the
packaging is very important. The plastic outer shell enhances resistance against cor-
rosive materials, moisture and vibrations. ADAM modules’ low power requirements
help them to operate in temperatures from 0 to 70ºC, and in humidity from 0 to 95%
(non-condensing). They are compactly built using automated SMT technology.
Therefore, they can be implemented in water-tight and explosion-proof industrial
enclosures.
