3 INSTALLATION
Refer to the hardware manual of the controller you are using for more information. (See the Additional
References section in this document.)
3.1 Connectors
The FOX100 must be placed in the first slot of the controller. For Ethernet capability, the SmartStack
Ethernet Module (ETN1xx) is plugged into the FOX100. (In this case, the ETN needs to occupy the
second slot of the controller.)
Note: The FOX100 has a 10-pin connector, which is reserved for factory use only.

3.2 Fiber Optic Cable Installation
Important considerations for installing the FOX include the following guidelines:
a. To ensure reliable communication between the FOX base and OCS/RCS module, high quality
cables need to be installed. See Table 2 for fiber cable part numbers.
b. The maximum fiber optic cable distance is 10 meters between drops.
c. During installment of the fiber optic cable, all direction changes need to adhere to a Minimum
Bend Radius of one inch (25.44mm).

5 Example Setups
The following graphics depict the use of a FOX100 in a variety of setups.
The FOX100 allows an OCS/RCS to connect up to five Fiber Optic Expansion bases and hubs (i.e.,
FOX104 and FOX404). When the FOX100 / 110 is used with a FOX104 or FOX404, they extend a high-
speed OCS/RCS backplane enabling SmartStack I/O Modules to be mounted several meters from the
OCS/RCS. They also significantly increase the number of SmartStack I/O modules supported by one
OCS/RCS.

6 SAFETY
All applicable codes and standards need to be followed in the installation of this product.
When found on the product, the following symbols specify:
For detailed installation and a handy checklist that covers panel box layout requirements and minimum
clearances, refer to the hardware manual of the controller you are using. (See the Additional
References section in this document.)
• All applicable codes and standards need to be followed in the installation of this product.
• For I/O wiring (discrete), use the following wire type or equivalent: Belden 9918, 18 AWG or
larger.
Adhere to the following safety precautions whenever any type of connection is made to the module.
• Connect the green safety (earth) ground first before making any other connections.
• When connecting to electric circuits or pulse-initiating equipment, open their related breakers. Do
not make connections to live power lines.
• Make connections to the module first; then connect to the circuit to be monitored.
• Route power wires in a safe manner in accordance with good practice and local codes.
• Wear proper personal protective equipment including safety glasses and insulated gloves when
making connections to power circuits.
• Ensure hands, shoes, and floor are dry before making any connection to a power line.
• Make sure the unit is turned OFF before making connection to terminals. Make sure all circuits
are de-energized before making connections.
• Before each use, inspect all cables for breaks or cracks in the insulation. Replace immediately if
defective.
Warning: Consult user documentation. Warning: Electrical Shock Hazard.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock or burns, always connect the safety (or earth)
ground before making any other connections.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or physical injury it is strongly
recommended to fuse the voltage measurement inputs. Be sure to locate fuses as close to the
source as possible.
WARNING: Replace fuse with the same type and rating to provide protection against risk of
fire and shock hazards.
WARNING: In the event of repeated failure, do not replace the fuse again as a repeated failure
indicates a defective condition that will not clear by replacing the fuse.
WARNING: Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction and operation of
this equipment and the hazards involved should install, adjust, operate, or service this
equipment. Read and understand this manual and other applicable manuals in their entirety
before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or
loss of life.
