Becoming Familiar with the 2920 FTT
The 2920 FTT is housed within an explosion-proof enclosure. The cover is provided to permit
access to the 2920 FTT’s electronics (i.e., circuit boards). O-Ring seals are provided to prevent
moisture from entering the termination or electronics compartments.
The 2920 FTT housing provides an external grounding lug and 3/4-inch NPT conduit entries.
The conduit entries permit access to the 2920 FTT wiring connections.
Grounding the Equipment
Warning! The 2920 FTT must be grounded before communication and power connections
are made.
An external grounding lug is provided on the 2920 FTT. A connection from the ground lug to
earth ground must be made before any other wiring connections are made.
Note For proper operation of the 2920 FTT, a ground strap must be attached to the FTT.
Grounding through mounting kits or pipe coupling is not adequate.
