OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FP-DO-400

8-Channel, 5 to 30 V Discrete 
Output Module

These operating instructions describe the installation, features, and 
characteristics of the FP-DO-400. For details on configuring and 
accessing the FP-DO-400 over a network, refer to the user manual 
for the particular FieldPoint network module you are using with 
the FP-DO-400.

Features

The FP-DO-400 is a FieldPoint discrete output module with the 
following features:

Eight discrete output channels

Sourcing outputs supply 2 A per channel, 9 A

2

 per module

Compatible with voltages from 5 to 30 VDC

On/Off LED indicators

Hot plug and play operation

3,000 V input to output isolation

Double insulated for 250 V safe working voltage

–40 to +70 °C operation

Installation

The FP-DO-400 mounts on a FieldPoint terminal base (FP-TB-xx
unit. The hot plug and play operation of the FP-DO-400 allows you 
to install it onto a powered terminal base without disturbing the 
operation of other modules or terminal bases. The FP-DO-400 
receives operating power from the terminal base.
