Features:
- IC600BF908 sources eight field outputs from 24 VDC power.
- Two isolated groups distribute four output points each.
- Individual fuses and LEDs protect and indicate every output.
IC600BF908 provides eight discrete source outputs for a Series Six installation, dividing the points into two groups with separate high and neutral connections.
Each Darlington output driver is optically coupled to the controller side, and every point has a dedicated fuse and state indicator on the faceplate.
The module switches user-supplied 19–40 VDC power, supports up to 2 A steady-state current per point, and changes state within 1 ms under the documented conditions.
Apter Power can quote and source the General Electric IC600BF908 24 VDC Source Output Module, provide the applicable manufacturer documentation, and assist with group-power wiring and replacement planning.

Series Six rack and load compatibility
- Rack location: IC600BF908 can operate in a Series Six I/O rack or an I/O slot of a Model 60 CPU rack.
- Reference allocation: The rack backplane switches assign eight consecutive output references.
- Load arrangement: Outputs 1–4 and 5–8 form separate groups, each with its own high and neutral connections.
- Field conductors: Each terminal accepts one No. 12 AWG wire or two No. 14 AWG wires.
DC-output environmental and load limits
- Operating temperature: The specified ambient range is 0 to 60 °C at the outside of the rack.
- Storage temperature: The manufacturer lists −20 to +80 °C.
- Relative humidity: IC600BF908 is rated for 5 to 95% non-condensing humidity.
- Temperature derating: Maximum total ON-state current is 16 A from 0–40 °C and 8 A at 60 °C.
Output and fuse-state monitoring
- Point LEDs: Eight indicators show whether each corresponding output is commanded ON or OFF.
- Fuse LEDs: A dedicated blown-fuse indicator identifies an open fuse for each output circuit.
- Program references: Faceplate states can be compared with the eight consecutive output references during commissioning.
- Marking area: The lens provides space to record the function or destination associated with each output.
Field isolation and circuit protection
- Optical coupling: The output-driver path electrically separates user field devices from Series Six logic.
- Individual fusing: Every output circuit uses its own 3 A normal-blow AGC fuse.
- Power grouping: Two separate four-point supplies limit a field-power problem to the affected group.
- Electrical limits: The documented maximums include 2 A steady-state current, 7 A inrush current, and a 2.25 V ON-state drop.
