SAFETY INFORMATION. 4.1 Mechanical installation of the FP4 device FP4 is a panel-mounted device. It can be mounted into panels at least 1 mm thick. (+1) (+0.7) Before installation, a 138 mm X 68 mm rectangular opening must be cut out in the panel .
FP4, FP4W The device cannot be exposed to direct heat generated by other equipment. When assembled, the operating device cannot be affected by interference from other components (contacts, power relays, inverters). 4.2 Mechanical installation of the FP4W device FP4W is a wall-mounted device. Device dimensions without cable glands: 213 mm x 185 mm x 102 mm (width x height x depth).
INFORMATION. Power supply and all signal wires are connected to plug-in screw terminals, situated at the rear panel of the device (FP4) or spring terminals at the bottom of the device (FP4W). Maximum wires cross-section area is 1.5 mm . Both wire and cord cables can be used.
The rear panel of the FP4 device should not be draw out more than necessary to connect jumpers. In the upper part of the FP4 housing there is a label showing the correct way of configuration of the jumpers inside the device and electrical connections. In the lower right corner of the label there is a place in which current configuration of the device can be marked.
FP4, FP4W 5.2 Wiring transducers to analogue inputs The device has two analogue inputs, which can work in one of the selected modes: 0/4-20mA (active/passive transducers), R/RTD type input, U type input.
