Electrical Connections on the FCM

CAUTION

DO NOT connect or disconnect any cables from the rear of the FCM

while the FCM is connected to mains power.

The electrical connections on the FCM are shown in Figure 30. The FCM is connected to the

mains power via a 12 V mains power supply adaptor. It is then switched on using an ON/OFF

switch. When the FCM is connected to the mains power adaptor and switched on, the ON

LED will be lit green.

Figure 30 Electrical Connections on the FCM

The cable from the liquid presence sensor on the sample shuttle connects into the SENSOR

port on the FCM.

The fluid control module is connected by USB cable to the powered USB hub, which is in turn

connected to the PC running OilExpress 4 software.

NOTE: DO NOT connect the USB cable, or the powered USB hub, to the USB expansion card

installed in the PC for the (optional) Ultrasonic Liquid Level Sensor bar.
