Attention
For installations that require CE-mark compliance, the DC power source must be a CE-mark approved power supply.
In addition, the DC cable between the approved DC power source must be no more than 3.0 meters (9.8 feet) from the
Gen3
FDAP

3.11.2 Ethernet wiring

FDAP Gen3 has one Ethernet input for optional connection to a wired network or a wireless access point. If the
FDAP Gen3 is connected to a wired Ethernet, you should run the Ethernet cabling from the control system
through the conduit to the FDAP Gen3 site. You have to install the FDAP Gen3 based on the Ethernet
connection. If Ethernet cable is connected, it acts as an FDAP (access point) and if the Ethernet cable
connection is removed it acts as a line powered FR (routing device). Ethernet interconnection is limited to
installations outside Class I Division 1,
Zone 0/1 locations. An 8 - position Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) terminal block allows twisted pair
Ethernet cable to be connected to the FDAP Gen3 without stripping the wires or crimping on modular RJ-45
plugs. The drain wire from the CAT5E cable shield should be connected to the internal grounding point on the
conduit hub. The cable should be solid core to ensure good signal quality and performance of up to 100 m.
Terminating the Ethernet cable
To terminate the Ethernet cable, perform the following steps.
1. Strip the outer jacket of the CAT5e cable and connect the shield drain wire to the internal grounding lug on
the conduit hub. Do not strip the individual twisted pair wires.
2. Connect the twisted pair wires to the IDC following the color chart marked next to the IDC. Note that the
color chart on the FDAP Gen3 Power and I/O board assumes that the cable conforms to EIA/TIA 568B
color code which is the predominant color code for CAT5e cable. Refer to "Table 3: Ethernet IDC block
pin-out" for the necessary adjustment if the older EIA/TIA 568B color coded cable is used. Most of the
CAT5E cables conform to TIA/EIA 568B.
