250 VAC or 30 VDC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Can the A03B-0819-C161 module be hot-swapped while the base rack is energized?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No, power to the rack unit and external field power circuits must be completely switched off before removing or installing the module to protect edge connector contacts from electrical arcing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen mounting and wiring the A03B-0819-C161 module in field enclosures, follow these core installation
