End Of Line (EOL) termination
The FC410 EOL termination DIP switch is default set to EOL active. To change termination setting see Setting the EOL
termination DIP switches (Page 8).
M12 version
The sensor is provided with a preformed cable terminated with M12 style stainless steel weather-proof plugs.
The cable screen is physically and electrically terminated within the body of the plug.
Take care when handling the cable and passing it through cable ducting that the plug is not subjected to excessive tension
(pulling) as the internal connections may be disengaged.
Note
Never pull the cable by the plug - only by the cable itself.
1. Connect the sensor using the supplied 4-wire cable with M12 connectors.
Note
Grounding
The sensor cable screen is mechanically connected to the grounding terminal (PE), only when the M12 plug is correctly
tightened.
