Instrument Wiring

Before the instrument is opened to connect power and signal, FCI recommends that the following ESD precautions be observed:

Use a wrist band or heel strap with a 1 megaohm resistor connected to ground. If the instrument is in the shop setting, there should be
a static conductive mat on the work table or floor with a 1 megaohm resistor connected to ground. Connect the instrument to ground.
Apply antistatic agents such as Static free made by Chemtronics (or equivalent) to hand tools to be used on the instrument. Keep
high static producing items away from the instrument.

The above precautions are minimum requirements. The complete use of ESD precautions can be found in the U.S. Dept of defense
handbook 263.

Warning: Only Qualified personnel are to wire or test this instrument. The operator assumes all responsibility for safe
practices while wiring and trouble shooting.
FCI recommends installing and input power disconnect switch and fuse near the instrument to interrupt power during
installation and maintenance. Operator must have power disconnected before wiring.

Input Power
The ST75/ST75V is available with both VDC and VAC input power configurations. Customers selecting VDC input power will
have a VDC input board only. Similarly, the VAC power board is supplied only with VAC powered units. In addition, both boards are
marked for either AC or DC power. Only connect the power specified on the wiring module as shown on Figures E and F respec-
tively. Both VAC and VDC inputs require a Gnd wire to be connected. Input power terminal blocks are rated for 14-26 AWG.

To wire the instrument, ensure that the power is off. Pull the power and signal output wires through the port, using care not to
damage wires. FCI recommends using crimp lugs on the output wires to ensure proper connection with the terminal strip. Connect
the output wires as shown on figures E and F. Note that when the 4-20mA outputs are used simultaneously, a single return lead is
used.

Analog Output
4-20mA: The instrument is provided with a standard set up, of two 4-20mA outputs. Output 1 configured for flow and Output 2
configured for temperature. Terminal blocks rated for 14-28 AWG., 500 ohm max load per output.
