1.6 STARTUP AND OPERATION
Before starting the FloBoss 407, perform the following checks to ensure the unit is properly installed.
♦
Make sure the enclosure has a good earth ground connected to the earth ground bus inside the
enclosure.
♦
Seat and secure all I/O modules in their sockets.
♦
Check the field wiring for proper installation.
♦
Make sure the input power is fused at the power source.
♦
Make sure the input power has the correct polarity.
♦
Make sure the input power is at least 12.5 volts (unless Switch S1 on the termination board of
newer FloBoss units—see Section 2—is depressed during power-up).
CAUTION
Check the input power polarity before turning on the power. Incorrect polarity can
damage the ROC/FloBoss.
CAUTION
When installing units in a hazardous area, ensure components selected are labeled
for use in such areas.
1.6.1 Startup
Observe cautions above, and then apply power to the FloBoss 407. After the FloBoss completes start-
up diagnostics of Random Access Memory (RAM) and other internal checks, the STATUS LED on the
processor board turns on. This LED should turn on, and stay on, to show that the FloBoss 407
completed a valid reset sequence. If the LED indicator does not come on, refer to the Troubleshooting
and Repair paragraphs in Section 2 of this manual for possible causes.
1.6.2 Operation
Once startup is successful, it is necessary to configure the FloBoss 407 to meet the requirements of the
application. The manual that comes with the configuration software
describes in detail the procedures
for configuring the FloBoss and calibrating the I/O. Once the FloBoss is configured and calibrated, it
can be placed into operation.
CAUTION
Configuration of the FloBoss must be performed only in an area known to be non-
hazardous.
