F4-XPM Expansion Modules Installation Guide
Application
The F4-XPM series expansion I/O modules can serve
in one of two capacities depending on where they are
installed in the system. When installed on the Sensor/
Actuator (SA) Bus of an equipment controller, an XPM
expands the input and output interfaces that can be
used with that equipment controller. When installed on
the Field Controller (FC) Bus of a FX-SNC, an XPM can be
used as I/O point multiplexors to support monitoring and
control from a FX-SNC. The point multiplexor can also
be useful for sharing points between other equipment
controllers on the FC Bus using peer-to-peer connectivity.
XPMs operate on an RS-485 BACnet MS/TP Bus and are
BACnet Testing Laboratory (BTL) listed and certified to the
BACnet Smart Actuator (B-SA) profile.
Communications Protocols
The XPM expansion modules can communicate using
BACnet MS/TP, or wireless Zigbee® using a ZFR/ZFR Pro
Wireless Field Bus Router (on the FC Bus only). By default,
the XPM expansion modules communicate using the
BACnet MS/TP protocol. The BACnet protocol is a standard
for ANSI, ASHRAE, and the International Standards
Organization (ISO) for building controls. To configure
these expansion modules in a wireless application
installation, see Configuring wireless communications.
Note: Using Controller Configuration Tool (CCT)
10.1 and later, FX equipment Controllers can be
configured to communicate using either the BACnet
MS/TP or the N2 field bus networking protocol.
The operation of an XPM on the SA Bus of an
equipment controller is not affected by the selection
of the BACnet MS/TP or the N2 protocol in the host
controller.

Mounting
Observe the following guidelines when mounting an
expansion module:
• Ensure the mounting surface can support the
expansion module, DIN rail, and any user-supplied
enclosure.
• Mount the expansion module horizontally on 35 mm
DIN rail whenever possible.
• Mount the expansion module in the proper mounting
position.
• Mount the expansion module on a hard, even surface
whenever possible in wall-mount applications.
• Use shims or washers to mount the expansion module
securely and evenly on the mounting surface.
• Mount the expansion module in an area free of
corrosive vapors and observe the Ambient Conditions
requirements in Table 12.
• Provide for sufficient space around the expansion
module for cable and wire connections for easy cover
removal and good ventilation through the expansion
module (50 mm [2 in.] minimum on the top, bottom,
and front of the expansion module).
• Do not mount the expansion module on surfaces prone
to vibration, such as duct work.
• Do not mount the expansion module in areas where
electromagnetic emissions from other devices or wiring
can interfere with expansion module communication.
On panel or enclosure mount applications, observe the
following additional guidelines:
• Mount the expansion module so that the enclosure
walls do not obstruct cover removal or ventilation
through the expansion module.
• Mount the expansion module so that the power
transformer and other devices do not radiate excessive
heat to the expansion module.
• Do not install the expansion module in an airtight
enclosure.

DIN rail mount applications
About this task:
To mount a XPM expansion module horizontally on a
35 mm DIN rail (recommended method), complete the
following steps:
1. Securely mount a 20 cm (8 in.) or longer section
of 35 mm DIN rail horizontal and centered in
the desired space so that the expansion module
mounts in the horizontal position.
2. Pull the two bottom mounting clips outward from
the expansion module to the extended position
(Figure 3).
3. Hang the expansion module on the DIN rail by
the hooks at the top of the (DIN rail) channel on
the back of the expansion module (Figure 4), and
position the expansion module snugly against the
DIN rail.
4. Push the bottom mounting clips inward (up) to
secure the expansion module on the DIN rail.
5. To remove the expansion module from the DIN rail,
pull the bottom mounting clips out to the extended
position and carefully lift the expansion module off
the DIN rail.
Wall mount applications
About this task:
To mount a XPM expansion module directly on a wall or
other flat vertical surface, complete the following steps:
1. Pull the two bottom mounting clips outward and
ensure they are locked in the extended position.
2. Determine the proper mounting position the
expansion module will be installed. Mark the
mounting hole locations on the wall using the
dimensions for the expansion module listed in
Mounting features and dimensions. Alternatively,
hold the expansion module up to the wall or
surface in a proper mount position and mark the
hole locations through the mounting clips.
3. Drill holes in the wall or surface at the marked
locations, and insert appropriate wall anchors in the
holes (if necessary).
4. Hold the expansion module in place, and insert
the screws through the mounting clips and into
the holes (or anchors). Carefully tighten all of the
screws.
Important: Do not over-tighten the mounting
screws. Over-tightening the screws may
damage the mounting clips.

CAUTION
Risk of Property Damage:
Do not apply power to the system before checking
all wiring connections. Short circuited or improperly
connected wires may result in permanent damage to
the equipment.
ATTENTION
Mise En Garde: Risque de dégâts matériels:
Ne pas mettre le système sous tension avant
d'avoir vérifié tous les raccords de câblage. Des
fils formant un court-circuit ou connectés de façon
incorrecte risquent d'endommager irrémédiablement
l'équipement.
Important: Do not exceed the expansion module
electrical ratings. Exceeding the electrical ratings
can result in permanent damage to the expansion
module and void any warranty.
Important: Use copper conductors only. Make
all wiring in accordance with local, national, and
regional regulations.
Important: Electrostatic discharge can damage
expansion module components. Use proper
electrostatic discharge precautions during
installation, setup, and servicing to avoid damaging
the expansion module.

Terminal wiring guidelines, functions,
ratings, and requirements
This section provides further guidelines on input and
output wiring, maximum cable length versus load current,
and SA Bus and supply power wiring.
Input and Output wiring guidelines
I/O terminal block functions, ratings and requirements
provides information and guidelines about the functions,
ratings, and requirements for the controller input and
output terminals, and Table 3 also references guidelines
for determining proper wire sizes and cable lengths.
In addition to the wiring guidelines in I/O terminal block
functions, ratings and requirements, observe these
guidelines when wiring expansion modules inputs and
outputs:
• Run all low-voltage wiring and cables separate from
high-voltage wiring.
• All input and output cables, regardless of wire size or
number of wires, should consist of stranded, insulated,
and twisted copper wires.
• Shielded cable is not required for input or output
cables.
• Shielded cable is recommended for input and output
cables that are exposed to high electromagnetic or
radio frequency noise.
• Inputs/outputs with cables less than 30 m (100 ft)
typically do not require an offset in the software setup.
Cable runs over 30 m (100 ft) may require an offset in
the input/output software setup.
