To begin using the FMS, users must install the unit, wire and connect the power, and set the IP
address. Any accessories for the FMS should also be connected at this time (e.g., keypad
connection, Modbus connections, Expansion Cards, etc.)
2.1. Installation
The Falcon FMS comes in a 19 inch (.48m) rack mount enclosure. Install the FMS in the rack.
Use the proper anchoring method to mount the unit securely. Supply either 24VDC (standard)
or 48VDC (optional) to the unit.
Units have different model numbers. Before applying power to the unit, verify the
model number and power rating located on the back of the unit. The voltage
indicator is the last number on the unit model number. The FMS will either be a
24VDC or a 48VDC.
2.2. Falcon FMS Wiring
RLE Technologies recommends an 18AWG stranded copper wire for connection from each
monitored point to a terminal block (TB) connection on the FMS. RLE recommends no more
than 500 feet (152.4m) of wire at this specification. If longer runs are needed, please contact
RLE Technologies for application guidance. Shielded twisted pair wiring is recommended for
analog signal transmitters being wired outside of conduit runs and dropped ceiling
applications.
2.2.1 Power Supply and Ground Connections
Connect an 18AWG ground wire from the ground terminal to a suitable earth ground.
If you are installing a 24VDC model FMS, plug the wall adapter into P1 and a UPS outlet as
shown below. The wall adapter has a 5 foot (1.524m) power cord. RLE Technologies
