FX Supervisory Controller LON Card
Installation Instructions
Application
The FX Supervisory Controller LON Option Card
provides LONWORKS® Free Topology Transceiver
(FTT)-10A communications capability to the FX
Supervisory Controllers (FX20, FX30E, FX60, FX60E,
and FX70). See Figure 1.
Up to two LON Option Cards may be installed. If one
LON Option Card is installed, it operates as LON1,
regardless of the slot used. If two LON Option Cards
are installed, LON1 is Option Slot 1 and LON2 is
Option Slot 2 (see Figure 3 for locations of option
slots).
For related information on FX Supervisory Controllers
mounting and wiring, refer to the FX Supervisory
Controllers Installation Instructions
(Part No. 24-10174-77).

not install the Option Card in slot 2 with the card
resting on top of the shield tab. Otherwise, an
electrical short or some other issue from misaligned
card header pins may result.

may result in severe personal injury or death.
AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de décharge
électrique Débrancher l'alimentation avant de
réaliser tout branchement électrique. Tout contact
avec des composants conducteurs de tensions
dangereuses risque d'entraîner une décharge
électrique et de provoquer des blessures graves,
voire mortelles
IMPORTANT: Be careful to plug any option card
into its connector properly (pins aligned).
IMPORTANT: Avoid hot plug-in or removal of any
option card from the FX Supervisory Controllers; that
is, do not remove any card with power applied. If the
unit switches to battery operation, wait for all Light
Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to go out.
Mounting

slots on the FX Supervisory Controller, as available.
Follow these instructions:
1. If a station is running, stop the station using the
platform Application Director view.
2. Remove power from the FX Supervisory
Controller.
3. Remove the FX Supervisory Controller cover or
covers. Press in the four tabs on both ends of the
controller and lift off the cover.
Note: If accessory modules are plugged into
the FX Supervisory Controller, you may need to
slide them away from the unit to access the cover
tabs.
