3.3 INITIAL INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Each I/O module installs in the ROC/FloBoss in the same manner. Any I/O module can be installed
into any I/O module socket. To install a module on a ROC/FloBoss that is not in service, perform the
following steps. For an in-service ROC/FloBoss, refer to Section 3.6.
CAUTION
Failure to exercise proper electrostatic discharge precautions (such as wearing a
grounded wrist strap) may reset the processor or damage electronic components,
resulting in interrupted operations.
CAUTION
When preparing a unit for installation into a hazardous area, change components in
an area known to be non-hazardous.
CAUTION
Units used for Measurement Canada installations must not employ I/O modules to
supply flow measurement inputs.
1.
Install I/O module by aligning the pins with the desired I/O module socket and pressing
gently, but firmly straight down.
2.
Tighten the module retaining screw.
3.
Make sure a field wiring terminal block is installed in the socket adjacent to where the I/O
module was installed. If a Lightning Protection Module is to be installed for this I/O
channel, refer to Appendix A.
3.3.1 Calibrating an I/O Module
After an I/O module is installed, configure and calibrate the associated I/O channel as needed by using
the ROCLINK Configuration Software.
