Materials and Special Tools Needed
You may require the following materials and tools for
installation:
DIN Rail: type NS35/7.5 (35 x 7.5 mm) and DIN
rail end clips. Length of DIN rail depends on the
number of optional DIN rail mounted options.
If using a 24 VAC power module: UL Listed,
Class 2, 24 VAC transformer, rated at minimum of
8.5 VA to 20 VA, dedicated to powering the
FX20/FX60 and its accessories (cannot power
additional equipment).
Suitable screws and screwdriver for mounting DIN
rail or, if DIN rail is not used, for mounting bases of
FX20/FX60 and any optional accessories.
#2 Phillips screwdriver: used to install and remove
optional communication modules.
small flat-blade screwdriver: used for mounting
and removing the FX20/FX60 from the DIN rail
and for making wiring connections to the RS-485,
LONWORKS, and Input/Output (I/O) connectors.
Safety Precautions
The following information relates to the installation and
startup of the FX20/FX60.
!
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect power supply before making electrical
connections. Contact with components carrying
hazardous voltage can cause electric shock and
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: Use copper conductors only. Make
all wiring connections in accordance with local,
national, and regional regulations. Do not exceed the
FX20/FX60 electrical ratings.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or use the FX20/FX60
in or near environments where corrosive substances
or vapor could be present. Exposure of the
FX20/FX60 to corrosive environments may damage
the device’s internal components, and will void the
warranty.
IMPORTANT: Use this FX20/FX60 only as an
operating control. Where failure or malfunction of the
FX20/FX60 could lead to personal injury or property
damage to the controlled equipment or other
property, additional precautions must be designed in
the control system. Incorporate and maintain other
devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems or
safety or limit controls, intended to warn of or protect
against failure or malfunction of the FX20/FX60.

FX Supervisory Controller Installation Instructions 3
Static Discharge Precautions
Static charges produce voltages high enough to
damage electronic components. The microprocessors
and associated circuitry within a FX20/FX60 are
sensitive to static discharge.
IMPORTANT: Work in a static-free area. Discharge
any static electricity you may have accumulated.
Discharge static electricity by touching a known,
securely grounded object. Do not handle the Printed
Circuit Board (PCB) without proper protection
against static discharge. Use a wrist strap when
handling PCBs. Secure the wrist strap clamp to
earth ground.
Accessories
The FX20/FX60 has a 20-pin, right-angle, Euro-DIN
connector that accepts accessory modules. The
connector provides power and signal lines to any
connected modules. The connector is located on the
end of the FX20/FX60 opposite the option cards.
IMPORTANT: Turn off power to the FX20/FX60
before inserting or unplugging accessory modules.
Wait for the LED activity to stop (all LEDs off).
!
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.
MISE EN GARDE: Risque 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.
Each accessory module has a DIN-mount base, and
typically provides two 20-pin connectors that allow you
to chain multiple accessories (see DIN Rail Mounting
Instructions). Table 1 lists the currently available
modules.

FX Supervisory Controller Installation Instructions 5
Mounting
Mount the FX20/FX60 in a location that allows
clearance for wiring, servicing, and module removal.
For mounting details, see Figure 2 through Figure 5.
Follow these recommendations and precautions
when mounting and installing the unit.
Use this controller for indoor use only. Do not
expose the unit to ambient conditions outside
the range of 0 to 50ºC (32 to 122ºF) and relative
humidity outside the range of non-condensing
5 to 95% (Pollution Degree 1).
For a controller mounted inside an enclosure,
ensure that the enclosure is designed to keep
the unit within its required operating range
(considering a 20-watt dissipation by the
controller). This is especially important if the
controller is mounted inside an enclosure with
other heat producing equipment.
Do not mount the unit:
in an area where excessive moisture,
corrosive fumes, or explosive vapors are
present
where vibration or shock is likely to occur
in a location subject to electrical noise. This
includes the proximity of large electrical
contactors, electrical machinery, welding
equipment, and spark igniters.
Physical Mounting
The following information applies to the physical
mounting of the FX20/FX60.
You do not need to remove the cover before
mounting.
Mount the FX20/FX60 in any orientation.
Mount the unit on a 35-mm wide DIN rail
(recommended). The FX20/FX60 unit base and
its accessories have molded DIN rail slots and
locking clips. Mounting these components on a
DIN rail ensures accurate alignment of
connectors between all modules.
If DIN rail mounting is impractical, use screws in
mounting tabs on the FX20/FX60 and in any
end-connected accessory (power module, NDIO
module). See Figure 2 for tab dimensions.
DIN Rail Mounting Instructions
To mount on DIN rail:
1. Securely install the DIN rail using at least 2
screws near both ends of the rail.
2. Position the FX20/FX60 on the rail, then tilt it to
hook the DIN rail tabs over one edge of the DIN
rail (see Figure 3).
3. Use a screwdriver to pry down the plastic
locking clip, and push the FX20/FX60 down and
in, which forces the locking clip to snap over the
edge of the DIN rail.
4. Mount the accessory modules (NDIO modules
and power module) onto the DIN rail in the
same manner (see Figure 5). See Table 1 for
quantities allowed.
5. Slide the accessory along the DIN rail to
connect its 20-position plug into the
FX20/FX60.
6. Repeat these instructions for all accessories,
until all are mounted on the DIN rail and firmly
connected to each other. For an example, see
Figure 4.
To keep the final assembly together, secure at both
ends with DIN rail end-clips. This also prevents the
assembly from sliding on the DIN rail. See Figure 4.

Removing and Replacing the Cover
The FX20/FX60 cover is removable. You must remove
the FX20/FX60 cover to connect the battery on a new
unit, to replace the battery on an existing unit or to
install any optional communication cards. The cover
snaps onto the base with four plastic tabs (two on
each end). To remove the cover, press in the four tabs
on both ends of the unit and lift off the cover.
Note: If accessory modules are plugged into the
FX20/FX60, you may need to slide them away from
the unit to get to the cover tabs.
To replace the cover, position it so the cutout area for
the communication ports is correct, then push inward
to snap in place.

Expansion Options
The FX20/FX60 provides for field-installable expansion
with two options:
Option Cards: these are installed on connectors
inside the FX20/FX60 base unit. See Option
Cards.
Accessory Modules: these are chained onto the
FX20/FX60’s 20-pin connector. See Accessories.
Option Cards
The FX20/FX60 has 2 options slots for custom option
cards designed for use with the
FX20/FX60. Each slot has a 20-pin connector on the
FX20/FX60 base unit.
!
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.

IMPORTANT: Be careful to plug an option card into
the connector properly with its pins properly aligned.
Option cards typically provide additional
communication capabilities, such as those listed in
Table 2. For a list of supported COM port and slot
assignments for the option cards, see Table 3.
