Selection Suggestions and Precautions
Selection Suggestions:
- Confirm that the system uses FBM203 / FBM203b/c/d RTD input modules.
- Verify the required cable length (this model is the 5.0 m version).
- Check whether the termination assembly is baseplate-mounted or panel-mounted.
- Use genuine Foxboro cables to maintain system reliability and signal accuracy.
Precautions:
- Do not bend the cable beyond the recommended minimum bend radius.
- Ensure proper shielding and grounding to minimize electrical noise on RTD signals.
- Avoid routing near high-voltage or high-current cables.
- Inspect connectors for damage before installation.
- Follow Foxboro I/A Series installation guidelines for cable routing and strain relief.
- When replacing, match the exact part number and length to the original installation.
