WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock
Disconnect the power supply before you make
electrical connections. Contact with components
carrying hazardous voltage can cause electric shock
and may result in severe personal injury or death.
NOTICE
Risk of Property Damage.
Do not apply power to the controller before checking
all wiring connections. Short circuited or improperly
connected wires may result in permanent damage to
the equipment.
Important
Do not exceed controller electrical ratings, this can
result in permanent damage to the controller and void
warranties.
Important
Only use copper conductors. Wire the controller
in accordance with local, national, and regional
regulations
Important
Use the correct electrostatic discharge precautions
throughout installation, setup, and service to avoid
damage to the controller and controller components.

Power supply terminal wiring
Connect the 24 VAC supply power wires from the
transformer to the HOT and COM power terminals as
shown in Figure 13.
Note: The supply power wire colors may differ on
transformers from other manufacturers. Refer to
the transformer manufacturer’s instructions and the
project installation drawings for wiring details.
Important: To reduce noise, interference, and
ground loop problems, connect a 24 VAC supply
power to the controller and to all other network
devices so that transformer phasing is uniform
across network devices. The controller does not
require an earth ground connection. However, when
you need to ground the secondary of the 24 VAC
transformer, make only one ground connection
near the transformer. For more information, see the
following figure.
Figure 13: Transformer grounding
CAUTION
To avoid property damage, check all wiring
connections before you apply power to the system.
If you wire this terminal incorrectly, a short circuit
can occur across the 24 VAC power supply on the
controller. A short circuit can cause a tripped circuit
breaker or a blown fuse. If you use a transformer
with a built-in fuse, you may need to replace the
transformer.
Controller interfacing
To interface with a controller and its inputs and outputs
with Controller Programming Tools (CPT) and the
controller's web server, establish a connection from your
device.
Note: Use the following procedures to set up
a controller on a primary network. For more
information about a secondary network setup, refer
to the product's User Reference Guide.
Connecting to a controller with Wi-Fi
1. On the desktop toolbar on your computer, click
your Wi-Fi network icon.
2. Find the controller's SSID, then connect to the
controller.
FT-04A Quick Start Guide 5

Note: Your controller's default SSID is a
combination of the controller's series letters
and the last four characters of the controller's
MAC address, for example, FT-012A. You can
find the MAC address on the label on the back
of the controller.
3. Enter the default password. For more information,
contact your supplier.
4. To ping the controller, at the command line, enter
ping, followed by the controller's IP address.
Note: For more information on your
controller's default IP address, see Primary
network default IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway.
Primary network default IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway
Table 1: Default IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
for a primary network setup
Item Address
IP address 192.168.4.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.10.1
Interfacing with a controller's web
server
About this task:
To interface with a controller's web server, complete the
following steps:
1. Launch a HTML5 web browser, such as Chrome™,
Firefox®, Microsoft Edge®, or Safari®.
2. In the web browser's address bar, enter your
controller's IP address, then press the Enter key or
Return key.
Interfacing with controller objects using
CPT
Use CPT to program EasyIO controller logic with the
Sedona framework.
1. To download the CPT application, contact Support
for the latest release.
2. Unzip the folder and double-click the cpt.exe file.
Note: If CPT is already installed on your
computer and you want to update it to a new
release, do not click and launch the cpt.exe
file to avoid personal settings data loss.
Instead, unzip the package and drop all the
files into the existing CPT folder to merge and
overwrite outdated files.
3. To connect to a controller, click File, then click
Open App.
4. In the Project Management window, on the
Recent tab, click New.
5. In the App Desc field, enter a name for the
controller.
6. In the Host field, enter the controller's IP address.
Note: The default IP address is 192.168.4.1
Note: For more information about your
controller's IP address, refer to the Controller
series IP address, subnet mask, and data
folder section of the EasyIO CPT User Guide
(LIT-12013978).
7. From the Data Folder list, select the folder for your
controller type.
Note: For FS Series controllers, select
SedonaFG.
Note: For more information about your
controller's data folder, refer to the Controller
series IP address, subnet mask, and data
folder section of the EasyIO CPT User Guide
(LIT-12013978).
8. Click Save.
9. Click Open.
10. In the Authentication dialog, enter your password
in the Password field.
Note: By default, there is no password.
To increase security, when you log on,
complete the steps in Creating a new CPT
admin password for a controller in EasyIO
Hardening Guide (LIT-12013986).

Troubleshooting
Table 3: Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Solution
The transformer shorted.The controller does not
turn on due to one of the
following problems:
• The transformer
trips. Power is at the
transformer primary
and there is no voltage
at the secondary.
• The breaker or fuse
trips. Power is at
transformer primary.
You find 24 V at
secondary and 0 V at
breaker or fuse.
The 24 VAC powered sensor is not
wired with the same polarity as the
controller.
1. Ensure that the polarity of ~24 V COM on the
controller, auxiliary devices, and input and
output devices is the same.
2. Verify that the short circuit is resolved with an
ohm-meter.
3. Reset the breaker or fuse, or replace the
transformer.
Note: If you replace the transformer,
replace it with a model that uses a reset-
table circuit breaker. A circuit breaker
makes it easier to solve wiring problems.
4. To verify the connection, complete the following
steps:
a. Disconnect the secondary of the 24 VAC
transformer.
b. Use an ohm-meter to measure between ~24
V H and G at the controller. Ensure that no
short circuit occurs.
Note: If your installation requires that
you earth ground the transformer sec-
ondary, verify that the earth ground
connection is valid and not shared
between multiple pieces of equipment.
Analog output mode is
invalid. 0 V to 10 V output
is set to 100%, but output
terminals are less than 10 V.
Load impedance is lower than 2k
ohms.
1. Ensure that the voltage control device load
impedance is higher than 2k ohms. For
more information, refer to voltage device
manufacturer specification.
2. Disconnect the connected device and verify that
the value you require is present.
Analog mode for a
configurable output is
invalid. For example, 0 V to
10 V output results in an
unwanted offset of up to 1 V.
The Common Reference is
incorrect.
The COM terminal is not
connected.
1. Connect the COM terminal of the configurable
output to the common of the connected end
device.
2. Measure the output and verify that it matches
the command.
3. Disconnect the connected device and verify the
commanded value is present.
