Installing the FP-TC-120
The FP-TC-120 mounts on a FieldPoint terminal base (FP-TB-

Hot plug-and-play enables you to install the FP-TC-120 onto a
powered terminal base without disturbing the operation of other
modules or terminal bases. The FP-TC-120 receives operating
power from the terminal base.
To install the FP-TC-120, refer to Figure 1 and follow these steps:
1. Slide the terminal base key to either position X (for any
