 DESIGN
TAC Xenta 491/492 consists of a terminal
and circuit board mounted together (fig-
ure 1). All terminations of field wires are
made to the terminal part only. Thus, the
electronics may be removed for service
without affecting the terminal connections.

Analog Outputs
There are eight Analog Outputs to control
actuators and the connection to control-
lers. No external power supply is required. Figure 1

Furthermore, TAC Xenta 492 is equipped

with eight switches to manually override LED indicators lights up if there is a hardware fault. The
