FloBoss 407 Instruction Manual
The FloBoss has two communication ports built in: a local operator interface port and an EIA-232
serial port. A variety of optional plug-in communication cards are available that allow you to add
another communications channel: EIA-232 serial, EIA-422/485 serial, dial-up modem, radio modem,
or leased-line modem communications.
The FloBoss 407 is packaged in a NEMA 4X windowed enclosure that can mount on a wall or a
pipestand. The enclosure, which protects the electronics from physical damage and harsh environ-
ments, is fabricated of die-cast, low-copper aluminum alloy. It consists of four pieces: the body, the
electronics cover, the keypad cover, and the lower cover. Silicone-rubber gaskets seal the unit when the
covers are closed. All covers are secured by captive screws.
Note that for the Measurement Canada version of the FloBoss 407, the electronics cover, and the lower
cover are secured by special captive screws. These screws have holes through the heads for adding
security wire seals according to Measurement (Industry) Canada requirements.
For the standard version of the FloBoss 407, an optional padlock adapter can be added in the field. This
adapter is installed on the captive screw that secures the electronics cover. With the shank (up to 0.25
inch diameter) of the padlock running through the adapter, the screw is inaccessible and the cover
cannot be opened. Refer to Section 2.3 for adapter installation instructions.
The FloBoss 407 unit can be mounted either on a wall or on a 2-inch pipestand (U-bolt mounting kit is
supplied). For installation information, refer to Section 1.4 and Section 2.3.
Configuration of the FloBoss 407, including installing user programs (special versions may be needed
for the Measurement Canada FloBoss), requires a personal computer and ROCLINK Configuration
Software. See Section 1.3.1 for compatible configuration software and its documentation.
For a more details about the FloBoss 407, refer to Section 2.
