Important User Information
Solid-state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical
equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid-state Controls
(Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/) describes some important differences between solid-
state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of
the wide variety of uses for solid-state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment
must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages
resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the
many variables and requirements that are associated with any particular installation, Rockwell
Automation, Inc. cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples
and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation, Inc. with respect to use of information, circuits,
equipment, or software described in this manual.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission of

POINT I/O Cold Junction Compensation Wiring Base Assembly
Environment and Enclosure
ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial
environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in EN/IEC 60664-1),
at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.
This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments and may not
provide adequate protection to radio communication services in such environments.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment for indoor use. It must be
mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific
environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to
prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The enclosure
must have suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread
of flame, complying with a flame spread rating of 5V A or be approved for the
application if nonmetallic.The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by
the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain more
information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply
with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
• Industrial AutomationWiring and Grounding Guidelines,
publication 1770-4.1, for additional installation requirements.
• NEMA Standard 250 and EN/IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the
degrees of protection provided by enclosures.
ATTENTION: Read this document and the documents listed in the Additional
Resources section about installation, configuration, and operation of this
equipment before you install, configure, operate, or maintain this product. Users
are required to familiarize themselves with installation and wiring instructions in
addition to requirements of all applicable codes, laws, and standards.
Installation, adjustments, putting into service, use, assembly, disassembly, and
maintenance are required to be carried out by suitably trained personnel in
accordance with applicable code of practice. In case ofmalfunction or damage,no
attempts at repair should be made. The module should be returned to the
manufacturer for repair. Do not dismantle the module.

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
Special Conditions for Safe Use
ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can
cause internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines
when you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.
ATTENTION:
• This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc
plated chromate-passivated steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding.The use
of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can corrode,
oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent
grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm
(7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately. Be sure to ground the DIN rail
properly. Refer to Industrial AutomationWiring and Grounding Guidelines,
publication 1770-4.1, for more information.
• Do not remove or replace an Adapter Module while power is applied.
Interruption of the backplane can result in unintentional operation or
machine motion.
• Do not discard the end cap. Use this end cap to cover the exposed
interconnections on the last mounting base on the DIN rail. Failure to do so
could result in equipment damage or injury from electric shock.
• If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
At the end of its life, this equipment should be collected separately from any
unsorted municipal waste.

Before You Begin
The wiring base consists of a base (1) and a removable terminal block (Catalog
Number 1734-RTBCJC) (4). The 1734-TBCJC wiring base uses screw-
clamp termination.
Use this diagram to identify the external features of the module.
POINT I/O™ Cold Junction Compensation Wiring Base Assembly
ATTENTION:
• This equipment is certified for use only within the surrounding air temperature
range of -20…+55 °C (-4…+131 °F). The equipment must not be used
outside of this range.
• Use only a soft dry anti-static cloth to wipe down equipment. Do not use any
cleaning agents.

POINT I/O Cold Junction CompensationWiring Base Assembly
Install the Wiring Base
1. Position the wiring base vertically above the installed units (adapter,
power supply, or existing module).
2. Slide the wiring base down allowing the interlocking side pieces to
engage the adjacent module or adapter.
3. Press firmly to seat the mounting base on the DIN rail. The mounting
base snaps into place.
4. To remove the wiring base from the DIN rail, remove the module, and
use a small bladed screwdriver to rotate the base locking screw to a
vertical position. This releases the locking mechanism. Then lift straight
up to remove.
Install the Removable Terminal Block
A Removable Terminal Block (RTB) is supplied with your wiring base assembly.
To remove, pull up on the RTB handle. This allows the mounting base to be
removed and replaced as necessary without removing any of the wirings. To
reinsert the Removable Terminal Block, proceed as follows.
1. Insert the end opposite the handle into the base unit.
This end has a curved section that engages with the wiring base.
2. Rotate the terminal block into the wiring base until it locks itself
in place.
WARNING: When you connect or disconnect the RemovableTerminal Block (RTB)
with field-side power applied, an electrical arc can occur.This can cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

3. If an I/O module is installed, snap the RTB handle into place on
the module.
WARNING: For 1734-RTBS and 1734-RTB3S, to latch and unlatch the wire, insert
a bladed screwdriver (catalog number 1492-N90 – 3 mm diameter blade) into
the opening at approximately 73° (blade surface is parallel with top surface of the
opening) and push up gently.

Remove a Mounting Base
To remove a wiring base, you must remove any module installed in the base and
any installed module to the right of the base. Remove the removable terminal
block (if wired).
1. Snap open the RTB removal handle, or remove the removable
terminal block.
2. Squeeze the module locking mechanism and pull up to remove
the module(s).
3. Turn the wiring base locking screw to a vertical position to unlock the
base from the DIN rail.
4. Slide the wiring base up to release it from its mating units.
Refer to the user manual for keying information, specifications, and information
on how to configure your module.
WARNING: For 1734-TOPS and 1734-TOP3S, to latch and unlatch the wire, insert
a bladed screwdriver (catalog number 1492-N90 – 3 mm diameter) into the
opening at approximately 97° (blade surface is parallel with top surface of the
opening) and press in (do not push up or down).
