2 Operating Manual FE260
I Safety information
!
Before mounting, installing or putting the FE260 into operation, this
operating manual must be carefully read to avoid damage, hazards and
problems.
Mounting and installation should only be carried out by specialist personnel.
!
The "AC" versions of the Function Expansion Unit FE260 are supplied with
mains voltage at 230 V. Avoid touching live parts, because this can be
highly dangerous.
Switch off the mains voltage before starting installation or wire connection
work and before opening the housing.
Only switch the mains voltage on again after all the work has been
completed and the housing has been firmly closed.
!
Also, follow all the safety instructions in Chapter 3.

4 Operating Manual FE260
1 Brief description
The Function Expansion Unit FE260 is used for expanding the functions of a volume corrector in the LIS-200
range, such as for example the EK260 from software version 2.02.
In the current level of expansion it fulfils the following tasks:
• Intrinsically safe power supply for the volume corrector.
• Ex isolation for the digital outputs (pulse / signalling outputs).
• Ex isolation of the internal data interface.
• Remote data transmission on request, can also be retrofitted.
For the "AC" versions the power supply is provided as 230 V or 115 V alternating voltage (mains voltage)
and for the "DC" version it is provided as 10 to 30 V direct voltage.
Fig. 1: Block diagram of the FE260,"AC" versions.
FE260 Operating Manual 5
Fig. 2: Block diagram of FE260, "DC" version.
Two signalling lamps fitted to the cover indicate the following states:
• “Power”: The device is ready for operation.
• “Online”: Data transmission is running via the installed or connected modem. Data is being
transmitted between the connected volume corrector and the readout station or control
station over a telecommunications network.
At the start of a remote data transmission "Online" flashes with the ringing tones which
the modem receives.
In case of a GSM/GPRS modem:
- slow flashing → modem is registered to GSM network
- fast flashing → data transmission in progress
Attention: The function of the yellow "Online" LED differs depending on the GSM / GPRS
/ UMTS modem installed in the FE260! For details see section 4.5.

2 Mounting
The holes for wall mounting become accessible after opening the housing cover of the FE260. The 4 screws
for fastening the cover can be tighten by a flat head (blade 8 x 1,2 mm) or Phillips head screwdriver size 2.
The dimensions, drilling template and diameter of the mounting holes can be taken from Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.
Fig. 3: View from above onto the opened device (here: the "DC" version).

a = Plastic gland M16 for mains supply 230VAC
b = Blind plug for M12 gland for telephone cable
c = EMC metal glands M20 for data cables to EK2x0
d = SMA antenna socket (for GSM/GPRS antenna)
e = Earth connection
For versions of the FE260 without a GSM/GPRS modem, the hole on position “d” is sealed by a filler plug
and on position “b” a plastic gland M12 is mounted.
!
As “associated electrical equipment”, the FE260 cannot be installed in Zone 1. (See [DIN]
EN 60079-10 and [DIN) EN 60079-14.)
For versions of the FE260 with a GSM/GPRS modem, the supplied antenna must be mounted, e.g. on the
wall. A mounting bracket is provided in the supplied items for this.

3 Installation
!
The terminals of the FE260 are freely accessible on opening the housing. To avoid
damage to the device, it must be ensured that no electrostatic discharge (ESD) from
persons via the FE260 can occur.
To prevent this, the installer should discharge himself by touching an earthed metallic
object directly before connecting a cable.
!
After installation replace all unused cable glands by the enclosed closed-sealing-inserts to
ensure that the housing is sealed. If you don´t use the M16 plastic gland, replace it by the
also enclosed M16 blind plug. That´s the only way to ensure the tightness of the housing!
3.1 Power supply to the FE260
3.1.1 "AC" versions (for alternating voltage 230 V or 115 V)
!
The "AC" versions of the Function Expansion Unit FE260 are supplied with mains voltage
at 230 V or 115 V. Avoid touching live parts, because this can be highly dangerous.
Switch off the mains voltage before starting installation or wire connection work and
before opening the housing.
Only switch the mains voltage on again after all the work has been completed and the
housing has been firmly closed.
Mains alternating voltage should be connected to the terminal block labelled "230V" or "115V" and the earth
conductor should be connected to "PE".
!
Depending on the version, the FE260 is suitable for power supply of 230 V or 115 V
alternating voltage. In order to avoid damaging the device, only connect the voltage
labelled on the terminals.
3.1.2 "DC" version (for direct voltage of 10 to 30 V)
The "DC" version of the FE260 is suitable for a direct-voltage power supply in the range from 10 to 30 V. It
can be operated, for example, with nominal voltages of 12 V or 24 V.
The "DC" version (not the "AC" versions) have the possibility of monitoring the supply voltage on the terminal
"10...30V". In this respect, the terminal "DE3" must be connected to the terminal of the same name on the
volume corrector. (→ 0
Terminal layout, page 11).
The monitoring can be set for nominal voltages of 12 V and 24 V. For further details: see Chapter 4.1.
3.2 Screening and earthing
The cables for connection to the intrinsically safe electrical circuits (blue terminal block) and to the outputs
A1 to A4 have a screen which must be earthed at both ends to prevent interference due to high frequency
electromagnetic fields.. The screen must be connected all round, complete and flat. The FE260, similar to
the volume corrector (e.g. EK260 or EK280) to be connected, has special metallic EMC cable glands for this.
