FPC-8057 User’s Manual
2.2.1 Power Requirements
The FPC-8057 can be powered by DC power only. The 
specified voltage range is +21 to 25 Volts DC. This 
insures compatibility with most controller DC systems. The 
power conditioning circuitry inside the unit is accomplished 
by a switching power supply. The peak starting current can 
be as high as 700mA. 
Power
If the display does not come on within 2 seconds of
power up, remove power. An internal fuse will prevent 
damage if the polarity of the DC power is incorrect. Check 
wiring to insure proper connections and try to power up 
again. 
Fusing
Requirements
 
An Internal fuse will prevent damage for over voltage 
condition however it isn’t guaranteed. 
DC voltage sources should provide proper isolation from 
main AC power and similar hazards. 
Caution 
High Voltage 
 
A Hard-wired EMERGENCY STOP should be fitted in 
any system using a FPC-8057 to comply with ICS 
Safety Recommendations. 
 
Do not power the FPC-8057 and inductive DC loads, or 
input circuitry to the controller, with the same power 
supply. Note: The 24 VDC output from some controllers 
may not have enough current to power the FPC-8057
