Caution

2.2 Installing the Field Link

Revised June-2018

Insert the module in the slot on the base unit or expansion rack,

making sure that the module faces the correct direction (see Figure

1-2). Gently slide the module into place until it contacts properly

with the connectors on the backplane.

: If the module stops and does not go any farther, do not force

Note

the module. Remove the module and see if the pins are bent.

If the pins are bent, gently straighten the pints and re-insert

the module. The back of the module must connect fully with

the connectors on the backplane.

Wire the module to the Field Link (refer to Wiring the Modules and

Field Link section in this chapter).

Never connect the sheath surrounding shielded wiring to a signal

ground terminal or to the common terminal of an I/O module. Doing so

makes the module susceptible to static discharge, which can

permanently damage the module. Connect the shielded wiring sheath

only to a suitable earth ground.

Proceed to Installing the Field Link.

This section covers where and how to install the Field Link.

Mount the Field Link in a location that provides convenient access to

the host system network (wireless I/O devices) and the network of

wireless field devices. Find a location where the Field Link has optimal

wireless performance. Ideally, this is 4.6 to 7.6 m (15-25 ft) above the

ground or 2 m (6 ft) above obstructions or major infrastructures. See

Figure 2-1.
