Install the Module Chapter 4
In the following two examples, the negative terminal of the sensor power supply 
and that of the 1734 terminal base COMMON must be at the same potential. 
Use of an external power supply limits diagnostics and increases susceptibility to 
noise.
Follow the Guidelines for Wiring Safety Analog Inputs
 on page 65.

You are responsible for making sure that the sensor is receiving appropriate 
power. Safety sensors that are not properly powered may not deliver accurate 
signals to the analog input module.
