Materials and Special Tools Needed

The following supplies and tools are typically required
for installation:

• LP-FXPM263-0 universal AC power supply
module, 90-263 VAC input, 15 VDC 30 W output,
DIN-mount capable, with grounding wire.

• Alternatively, an LP-FXPMxx-0 wall-mount AC
adapter, which can power the controller only. You
must cut off the adapter’s barrel plug end, and then
wire leads into the controller’s end connector. A
multimeter is needed to check polarity.

• DIN rail, type NS35/7.5 (35 mm x 7.5 mm) and DIN
rail end-clips (stop clips), unless using panel
mounting method with screws through mounting
tabs.

• Suitable tools and fasteners for mounting unit and
accessories.

• #2 Phillips screwdriver: used to install and remove
an optional option card.

• Small flat-blade screwdriver: used for making
wiring connections to removable screw terminal
plugs.

• (Optional) One or two 12 V Sealed Lead-Acid
(SLA) rechargeable backup batteries, with wire
harness for connecting to the 2-position connector
on the unit. Should be sized as required by the
system. See External 12 V Backup Battery

IMPORTANT: Use copper conductors only. Make
all wiring in accordance with local, national, and
regional regulations. Do not exceed the FX70
Supervisory Controller’s electrical ratings.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical
shock, install in a controlled environment relatively
free of contaminants.

IMPORTANT: Use this FX70 Supervisory
Controller only as an operating control. Where
failure or malfunction of the FX70 could lead to
personal injury or property damage to the controlled
equipment or other property, additional precautions
must be designed into the control system.
Incorporate and maintain other devices, such as
supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit
controls, intended to warn of or protect against
failure or malfunction of the FX70.

Static Discharge Precautions

Static charges produce voltages high enough to
damage electronic components. The microprocessors
and associated circuitry within the FX70 are sensitive
to static discharge.

IMPORTANT: Work in a static-free area. Discharge
any static electricity you may have accumulated.
Discharge static electricity by touching a known,
securely grounded object. Do not handle the Printed
Circuit Board (PCB) without proper protection
against static discharge. Use a wrist strap when
handling PCBs. Secure the wrist strap clamp to
earth ground.

Battery Precautions

IMPORTANT: The Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH)
battery used in this device may present a risk of fire
or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble,
heat above 122°F (50°C), or incinerate. Replace
battery pack with type LP-KITFX7BA T-0 only. Use of
another battery may present a risk of fire or
explosion.

IMPORTANT: Dispose of used battery promptly.
Keep away from children. Do not disassemble and
do not dispose of in fire.

IMPORTANT: Replace external backup battery
with Listed Power Source Battery Only.

Mounting

Mount the controller in a location that allows clearance
for wiring, servicing, and module removal.

Note: This product is intended for indoor use only.
The unit should not be exposed to ambient conditions
outside of the range of 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C), or
relative humidity outside the range of 10 to 90% at
77°F (25°C), noncondensing.

Note: Avoid mounting the controller in a manner that
would make it difficult to operate th e di sconnect device.

Note: Before mounting the controller, install any
option card(s).

Environmental Requirements

Note the following requirements for the controller
mounting location:

• If mounting inside an enclosure, that enclosure
should be designed to keep the unit within its
required operating range considering a 20-watt
dissipation by the controller, plus dissipation from
any other devices installed in the same enclosure.
Maintaining the proper operating ambient
conditions is especially important if the controller is
mounted inside an enclosure with other heat
producing equipment.

Do not mount the unit:

Physical Mounting

The following information applies when you physically
mount the unit.

• Y ou can mount the control ler in any orientation. It is
not necessary to remove the cover before
mounting.

• Mounting on a 35 mm (1.37 in.) wide DIN rail is
recommended. The FX70 unit base has a molded
DIN rail slot and locking clip, as does the
LP-FXPM263-0 power supply module and any
Input/Output (I/O) expansion modules. Mounting
on a DIN rail ensures accurate alignment of
connectors between all modules.

• If DIN rail mounting is impractical, you can use
screws in mounting tabs on the LP-FXPM263-0
module and the FX70, as well as any
end-connected accessory. See Tab Mounting
Dimensions.

DIN Rail Mounting Instructions

Figure 2 and the following procedure provides
step-by-step DIN rail mounting instructions for the
controller.

Note: Mount the LP-FXPM263-0 power supply first,
then the controller, then any directly attached I/O
expansion module.

To mount on DIN rail:

1. Securely install the DIN rail with at least two
screws, near the two rail ends.

2. Position the LP-FXPM263-0 power supply module
on the rail, tilting to hook DIN rail tabs over one
edge of the DIN rail (Figure 2).

3. Use a screwdriver to pry down the plastic locking
clip, and push down and in on the module, to force
the locking clip to snap over the other edge of the
DIN rail.

4. Mount the controller onto the DIN rail in the same
way, such that its left 6-position end connector
faces the LP-FXPM263-0 power supply.

5. Slide the two devices together along the DIN rail to
connect their 6-position connectors.

• in an area with excessive moisture, corrosive
fumes, or explosive vapors.

• where vibration or shock is likely to occur.

• in a location subject to electrical noise. This
includes the proximity of large electrical
contractors, electrical machinery, welding
equipment, spark igniters, and variable frequency
drives.

6. If installing any I/O expansion modules, repeat this
for each one, until all are mounted on the DIN rail
and firmly connected into one assembly.

7. To keep the final assembly together , secure at both
ends with DIN rail end-clips provided by the DIN
rail vendor. This procedure also prevents the
assembly from sliding on the DIN rail. See
Figure 2.

Figure 5: Removing FX70 Cover

You must remove the controller’s cover to connect the
battery (new unit), and/or to install any option cards, or
replace the NiMH battery. The cover snaps onto the
base with four plastic end tabs—two on each end.

IMPORTANT: A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) ribbon
cable connects the cover to the main board. Be
careful when lifting the cover off. If the controller is
on a flat work surface, you can leave the cable
connected, with the cover next to the unit. See
Figure 5.

Note: If accessory modules are plugged into the
controller, you may need to slide them away from the
unit to get to the end cover tabs.

• To remove the cover, press in the tabs on both
ends of the unit, and carefully lift it off (see the
Important statement in this section). If necessary,
unplug the LED cable from the cover, at the
connector on the back of the cover (see Figure 4).

• T o replace the cover , make sure that the LED cable
is connected and not folded outside the base.
Orient the cover so the cutout area for comm ports
is correct, then push inwards to snap in place.

Board Layout

Figure 6 shows the location of connectors, option slots,
and other features of the main board in the FX70. For
side views of communications ports and other featur es,
see Figure 8.

The FX70 ships with both option card slots 1 and 2
open. The Double Data Rate 2 Random Access
