Theme A: Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Hazardous Location Certification for Safety
The 1746-IH16 module operates safely in Class 1, Division 2 environments. It supports Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous locations with confidence.
Input Voltage and Power Specifications

This module accepts a DC voltage range between 90 and 146 Volts. It sinks 16 inputs with a nominal current of 2.15mA per point at 125V DC. The total heat dissipation sits at just 5.17 Watts.
Backplane Current and Signal Timing
The module draws only 85 milliamps from the 5V DC backplane. Its signal delay measures just 9 milliseconds for both OFF and ON states. This ensures fast and accurate data transfer for your control logic.
Input Point Activation Logic

You can power all 16 inputs simultaneously at 125V DC. At 146V DC, the module supports 6 or 12 points powered ON at once. This flexibility allows precise configuration for your specific load requirements.
Environmental and Mechanical Tolerances
The unit operates within a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. It withstands operational shock up to 30G and vibration up to 2.5G. These ratings guarantee robust performance in demanding industrial settings.
Certifications and Compliance Details

This module holds C-UL and CSA certifications for North American markets. It offers NEMA standard ICS 2-230-rated noise immunity. You get reliable circuit isolation between inputs and control logic.
