Installing the FP-CTR-500
The FP-CTR-500 mounts on a FieldPoint terminal base (FP-TB-
x
),
which provides operating power to the module. Installing the
FP-CTR-500 onto a powered terminal base does not disrupt the
operation of the FieldPoint bank.
To install the FP-CTR-500, refer to Figure 1 and complete the
following steps:
1. Slide the terminal base key to either position X, used for any
module, or position 8, used for the FP-CTR-500 module.
2. Align the FP-CTR-500 alignment slots with the guide rails on
the terminal base.
3. Press firmly to seat the FP-CTR-500 on the terminal base.
When the module is firmly seated, the terminal base latch locks
it into place.

(cFP-BP-
x
), which provides operating power to the module.
Installing the cFP-CTR-500 onto a powered backplane does not
disrupt the operation of the FieldPoint bank.
To install the cFP-CTR-500, refer to Figure 2 and complete the
following steps:
1. Align the captive screws on the cFP-CTR-500 with the holes
on the backplane. The alignment keys on the cFP-CTR-500
