– Product Identification –
The affected products are 1715 Redundant I/O and AADvance analog and digital termination assemblies
manufactured starting January 1, 2018. Specific termination assembly catalog numbers are:
 1715 Redundant I/O – 1715-TASIF16, 1715-TASIB16D, 1715-TADIF16, 1715-TADIB16D
 AADvance – T9801, T9802, T9803, T9831, T9832, T9833
For 1715 Redundant I/O termination assemblies, the
product identification information may be found on the
product nameplate. The catalog number will be in the
“CAT.” Field. The manufacturing date will be at the
bottom center of the nameplate and will be of the format
YYYY/MM/DD where YYYY is the year, MM is the
month code, and DD is the day of the month.
In the example shown at the left, the catalog number is
1715-TASIF16 and the date code is YYYY/MM/DD.
This product would be subject to this notification for
product manufactured on or after date code 2018/01/01.
For 1715 Redundant I/O product still in its original
carton, the product identification information will be on
the product carton label. The catalog number will be in
the “CAT” field and the date of manufacture will be in
the lower right corner above the “DIR/VER” field will be
of the format YYYY/MM/DD where YYYY is the year,
MM is the month code, and DD is the day of the month.
In the example shown to the left, the catalog number is
1715-TASIF16 and the date of manufacture is
2015/04/30, or April 30, 2015. The catalog number
matches the information in the Product Identification
section above but the date of manufacture is prior to the
affected manufacturing date range. This assembly is
not subject to this notification and is shown as an
example only.

For AADvance product, the product identification
information is available on the terminal assembly
nameplate and fuse cover label. The catalog number is
on the fuse cover label in the lower right corner. The
manufacturing date will be at the bottom center of the
nameplate and will be of the format YYYY/MM/DD
where YYYY is the year, MM is the month code, and
DD is the day of the month.
In the example shown to the left, the catalog number is
T9801 and the manufacturing date is 2011/12/01, or
December 1, 2011. The catalog number matches the
Product Information section above but the date of
manufacture is prior to the affected manufacturing date
range. This assembly is not subject to this notification
and is shown as an example only.
For AADvance product still in its original carton, the
product identification information will be on the product
carton label. The catalog number will be in the “CAT”
field and the date of manufacture will be on the right
side under the dividing line and will be of the format
YYYY/MM/DD where YYYY is the year, MM is the
month code, and DD is the day of the month.
In the example shown to the left, the catalog number is
T9801 and the date of manufacture is 2018/11/26, or
November 11, 2018. The catalog number and
manufacturing date match the information in the
Product Identification section. This assembly is subject
to this notification.
– Description –
A potential anomaly exists with the 1715 Redundant I/O and AADvance analog and digital terminal assembly. On
termination assemblies manufactured starting January 1, 2018, circuit fuses may be open out of the box. Open fuses
should be replaced prior to use.
PRODUCT NOTICE

expanding human possibility™
On some termination assemblies, up to half of the 50mA input circuit fuses may be in an open state from the factory. On digital termination assemblies, this will result in channel errors indicating an open wire status. On analog termination assemblies, this will result in channel errors indicating an under range condition.
Customers receiving termination assemblies within the affected manufacturing date range are advised to test all channel circuits for open fuse conditions. If found, channel fuses must be replaced.
Note – This anomaly does not affect fuses once they have been replaced. Customers with commissioned and running systems who experience open fuses are advised to verify circuit integrity prior to requesting replacement fuses.
– Temporary Workarounds –
No temporary workaround has been identified.
– Correction –
ARC FLASH HAZARD – In a hazardous location, make sure a circuit is de-energized before you remove or replace a fuse. If the circuit is energized it is possible to make an electrical arc and cause an explosion. Failure to follow the instruction can cause injury to persons.
Where an open fuse condition has been identified, the fuse must be replaced. Rockwell Automation will make available at no charge T9901 Replacement Input Fuse 50mA (Pack of 20) kit to address fuses that are open as received from the factory. Each kit contains 20 replacement fuses. Contact your local Rockwell Automation Distributor, Sales Office, or other place of purchase to request replacement fuse kits. Reference this Product Notice PN 2019-09-002 when requesting replacement fuse kits.
Refer to the AADvance Controller Troubleshooting and Maintenance Manual, publication ICSTT-RM406I, Replacing Channel Fuses / Replace an Input Fuse section for detailed instructions for fuse replacement. These instructions apply to both the 1715 Redundant I/O and AADvance versions of this assembly. A subset of these instructions is attached as Appendix B to this notification.
Until further notice, Rockwell Automation will not accept requests for repair or replacement of potentially affected assemblies. When the results of current investigations have completed additional guidance will be provided.

Appendix B
Replace an Input Channel Fuse
Refer to the AADvance Controller Troubleshooting and Maintenance Manual, publication ICSTT-RM406I, Replacing
Channel Fuses / Replace and Input Fuse section for detailed instructions for fuse replacement. These instructions
apply to both the 1715 Redundant I/O and AADvance versions of this assembly.
ARC FLASH HAZARD – In a hazardous location, make sure a circuit is de-energized before you
remove or replace a fuse. If the circuit is energized it is possible to make an electrical arc and cause
an explosion. Failure to follow the instruction can cause injury to persons.
Replace an Input Channel Fuse
1. Open the fuse cover.
2. Find the open fuse and remove it. Rockwell Automation recommends the use of catalog number T9908
fuse removal tool or equivalent long nose pliers. Pull the fuse slowly straight out to prevent damage to the
fuse holder.
