Wiring the Power Supply Module
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Ensure the area in which you perform this operation is
non-hazardous. Performing this operation in a hazardous area could result in
an explosion.
The FB3000 supports both 12V and 24V power supplies. It accepts DC voltage from 10.5 to 30V; the amount of power required varies depending upon the options used. Input power powers the RTU; loop power can power attached field devices. Input power and loop power do not need to have the same voltage.
External Power Connections
- Input power from the external power supply (power for RTU)
- Loop power from the external power supply (power for field devices)
Removing/Replacing the Chassis
The FB3000 supports two chassis versions: 3CHO8C and 3CHO8A. This procedure is the same regardless of chassis type.
DANGER
Switch the process this RTU controls over to whatever manual/backup system
you have.
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Ensure the area in which you perform this operation is non-
hazardous. Performing this operation in a hazardous area could result in an
explosion.
