2 INSTALLATION
2.1 Mounting Orientation
The base of the FOX104 / FOX404 need to be mounted with the proper orientation. Proper orientation
helps to ensure a good connection when SmartStack Modules are installed. Up to four SmartStack
Modules can be installed per FOX104 / FOX404. The FOX104 / FOX404 is installed inside a panel box.

2.2 Mounting Instructions (Back Plane / DIN-Rail)
There are two ways to mount the FOX104 / FOX404 in a panel box. It can either be hard-mounted to the
back plane or mounted on a DIN-Rail strip.
a. Back Plane Mounting
1. Read the Installation Chapter in the hardware manual of the controller you are using prior to
mounting the FOX104 / FOX404. Observe requirements for the panel layout design and
adequate clearances. A checklist is provided for your convenience in the hardware manual. (See
the Additional References section in this document.)
2. Drill holes. (Refer to Figure 2.)
3 Install and tighten washers and nuts. Do not over-tighten.
4. Connect the communications and power cables to the FOX104 / FOX404 ports using the
provided connectors.
5. Install up to four SmartStack Modules on the FOX104 / FOX404.

b. DIN-Rail Mounting
1. Read the Installation Chapter in the hardware manual of the controller you are using prior to
mounting the FOX104 / FOX404. Observe requirements for the panel layout design and
adequate clearances. A checklist is provided for your convenience in the hardware manual. (See
the Additional References section in this document.)
2. Determine length of DIN-Rail needed. (Refer to Figure 2.)
3. Noting the proper location, attach two (2) DIN-Rail mounting clips (included with FOX unit) to the
DIN-Rail by hooking the clips over the top of the Rail and rocking down and snapping over the
bottom of the Rail. (Refer to Figure 3.)
4. Adjust clips as necessary by sliding them along the DIN-Rail to align with the holes in the tabs of
the FOX unit. Using the provided screws, mount the Fox unit to the clips. Tighten screws as
necessary to hold the unit securely. (Refer to Figure 3.)

2.4 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).

7 SAFETY
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.
