    4.4.1. GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES • In the F190-A , different types of bonding and earthing are used. The common (ground) is mostly used for termination of the wire shields and the Protective Earth (PE) is used for electrical safety. • The F190-A that came with a power module type PM; 110V-230V AC or type PD/PF with an option OR (the relays can handle 110V-230V AC) shall be connected to the Protective Earth (PE) stud which is installed in the metal back panel.
  • Page 24: Aluminum Enclosure - Field Mounted

    Do not use the terminal 00 to connect the protective earth wire, the 00 and the common ground terminals are internally connected. Be careful, to prevent damage to equipment when you connect different power supplies (sensor, PLC, etc.). Inside the Fluidwell display, the common grounds are internally connected to each other.
