Isolated terminal (optional
shield drain connection)
SA PWR on SA Bus:
15 VDC power lead
connection.
Note:
The SA PWR terminal on an IOM
expansion module does not supply 15
VDC. The SA bus supervisor supplies 15
VDC to devices on the SA bus requiring
power.
FC Bus: 0.6 mm (22 AWG) stranded, 3-wire
twisted, shielded cable required.
SA Bus: 0.6 mm (22 AWG) stranded, 4-wire

Note:
On the SA Bus, the + and - wire
are one twisted pair, and the COM
and SA PWR are the second twisted
pair of wires.
