See the FB3000 product data sheet for information about applicable standards for EMI and RFI emissions and susceptibility.

  • Page 29: Grounding

    November 2023 Grounding There are four separate and distinct ground references within the FB3000 architecture. The chassis ground lug (also known as Protective Earth or PE), internal system bus ground, isolated ground, and the 24V loop ground (for modules that support loop power).

    FB3000 RTU Instruction Manual D301851X012 November 2023 Connecting Power Power comes from an external power source. The device supports both 12V and 24V power supplies. It accepts DC voltage from 10.5 to 30V; the amount of power required varies depending upon the options used.

  • Page 38: Power Planning

    If your installation includes multiple chassis, wire power only to the left-most (base) chassis. Note If your FB3000 does not power on, check that the polarity of the DC input voltage wiring connections match 2‐16. If you accidentally reversed the polarity, it triggers an Figure internal fuse and switch to protect the device from damage.
