General directions: • The F050-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.
Within the United States all field wiring must conform to the National Electric Code, NFPA 70, Article 501-4(b). All field wiring enters the F050-A through the bottom of the enclosure and connects to the circuit assembly inside the enclosure. Wiring is routed through cable glands. Please make sure to order the F050-A with the correct drilling pattern and thread (metal) or hole (plastic) sizes.

When both external and internal power supplies are available, the internal power supply is interrupted and will act as a backup supply.
4.6.1 TERMINALS 1-2: SENSOR INPUT The F050-A requires a (0)4-20mA sensor signal which will be processed 4 times a second with a 16 bits accuracy. The input is not isolated. The screen of the signal wire can be connected to the common ground terminal. See paragraph 4.5.3.
TERMINAL 4-5: POWER SUPPLY - TYPE PX (DEFAULT) AND PD (OPTION) To power the F050-A an internal battery can be used (type PB) and / or an external DC power supply of 8-30V DC (type PX) or 16-30V DC (type PD). Connect the "-" to terminal 4 and the "+" to terminal 5.
4.7.2 TERMINALS 5-7: SENSOR INPUT The F050-A requires a (0)4-20mA sensor signal which will be processed 4 times a second with a 16 bit accuracy. The input is not isolated. The screen of the signal wire can be connected to the common ground terminal. See paragraph 4.5.3.
The F0-Series can be supplied as suitable for Safe Area or Hazardous Area. Suitability for Intrinsic Safety is indicated in the model code by Type XI (e.g. F050-A-XI). If Type XI is not indicated your device is not suitable for Intrinsically Safe applications!
