Key Features

1. Size B (12 in) Form Factor: Fits standard UCN I/O chassis Size B slots.

2. Orange Screw Terminals: High‑visibility orange terminals for easy HART transmitter wiring ID.

3. Conformal Coating: Protects against moisture, dust, and chemicals for harsh industrial environments.

4. HART® Communication: Enables digital data (diagnostics, configuration) from smart transmitters.

5. Isolated Channels: Galvanic isolation reduces noise and ground loops.

6. Redundancy Support: Works with standard and redundant MU‑PSTX03 / MC‑PSTX03 IOPs.

Applications

• Process Industries: Chemical, petrochemical, power, oil & gas, pulp & paper.

• System Role: Field termination & HART signal conditioning for smart transmitters in Honeywell DCS.

• Typical Uses:

  • Connecting HART‑enabled pressure, flow, level, temperature transmitters.

  • Transmitting 4–20 mA analog + HART digital to PSTX IOPs.

  • Remote configuration and diagnostics of smart field devices in humid/dusty/chemically exposed areas.

Installation & Wiring

1. ESD Protection: Use anti‑static wristbands and ESD‑safe surfaces.

2. Power Off: De‑energize chassis before insertion/removal.

3. Chassis Installation:

   • Insert FTA into Size B slot in UCN I/O chassis.

   • Secure with mounting screws.

   • Connect 50‑pin ribbon cable to PSTX IOP.

4. Field Wiring:

   • Use shielded twisted‑pair (STP) cable for HART signals.

   • Connect transmitter ± to designated orange terminals.

   • Ground shields at one end only to avoid ground loops.

5. Configuration: Enable HART communication via Experion PKS/TPS software.

Maintenance

• Inspection: Check orange terminal tightness, cable connections, 24 VDC power.

• Cleaning: Use dry, soft cloth; avoid liquid cleaners.

• Troubleshooting:

  • Verify wiring polarity and shield grounding.

  • Check for short circuits or ground faults.

  • Use HART diagnostics to isolate transmitter/channel issues.

Safety Notes

• Disconnect chassis power before installation/maintenance.

• Operate within rated temperature/humidity limits.

• Do not modify or disassemble (voids warranty).

• Comply with site ESD and safety procedures.
