To install the FP-DO-400, refer to Figure 1 and follow these steps:
1. Slide the terminal base key to either position X (used for any
module) or position 4 (used for the FP-DO-400 module).
2. Align the FP-DO-400 alignment slots with the guide rails on
the terminal base.
3. Press firmly to seat the FP-DO-400 on the terminal base. The
terminal base latch locks the FP-DO-400 into place when it is
firmly seated.

Field Wiring
The terminal base provides connections for each of the eight output
channels and an external supply to power field devices. Although
the external supply is not needed for the internal operation of the
FP-DO-400, the outputs source current from this external supply.
You may connect an external supply to power field devices by
connecting to the V and C terminals of the terminal base. Each
channel has one output terminal, V
out
; a common terminal, COM
(internally connected to the C terminal); and a supply terminal,
V
sup
(internally connected to the V terminal). If the total current
supplied by the channels of the FP-DO-400 is more than 5 A, route
the external supply to the V
sup
terminals of individual channels.
Otherwise, the external supply may simply be connected to the V
and C terminals. Figures 2a and 2b show examples of basic wiring
connections.
