<2. WIRING AND INSTALLATION> WIRING AND INSTALLATION Install the cable glands on FLXA402 before wiring. The cable glands are included inside the product package. Installation site The FLXA402 is weatherproof and can be installed both indoors and outdoors. It should, however, be installed as close as possible to the sensor to avoid long cable runs between the instrument and sensor.
<2. WIRING AND INSTALLATION> Mounting methods See 1.5 Dimensions for information on the hardware for mounting. The FLXA402 has various mounting possibilities.(Figure.2.1) • Panel mounting using optional mounting hardware (/PM or /UM) • Wall mounting using optional mounting hardware (/U or /UM) •...
<2. WIRING AND INSTALLATION> Removing the shield cover The shield cover covers high-voltage power supply terminals and relay modules. CAUTION To ensure your safety, be sure to shut down the power supply before you remove the shield cover. Open the front panel and remove the shield cover. After removing the shield cover, install the cable glands.
<2. WIRING AND INSTALLATION> Installing the cable glands The supplied cable glands are for cables with an outside diameter of 6 to 12 mm (0.24 to 0.47 inches). Unused cable entry holes must be sealed with cable glands including the supplied rubber close up plugs.
Page 22
<2. WIRING AND INSTALLATION> Conduit adapter When protecting the cable with a conduit, use an adapter. (option codes: /CB4, /CD4, /CF4, / CB6/ CD6 /, /CF6) CAUTION There are 8 holes for cable connection. Apply the cable gland of supplied accessories (dark- grayed cable glands) to the holes which no conduit adapters connect to.
Always place the shield cover over the power supply and contact terminals for interference avoidance and safety reasons. CAUTION Turn off power supply to FLXA402 before wiring cables. CAUTION After wiring of power supply or contact output is completed, put on the shield cover. (see section 2.3)
Page 24
2.5.1 Wiring the power supply CAUTION Turn off power supply to FLXA402 before wiring. Power rating must comply with FLXA402 specification. Power voltage must match with the one indicated on the name plate. WARNING ● You must install external power supply switch or circuit breaker for power supply.
Connect FLXA402 to ground. (Class D ground: 100 ohm or less) for interference avoidance and safety reasons. Use ground cables with larger cross - sectional area. Fix the cable on the rear side of FLXA402 outer case or connect the grounding cable to the terminal of the power module inside. See Figure 2.8.
Page 26
Figure2.8 External grounding (rear side), internal grounding NOTE FLXA402 on AC power supply requires the protective grounding. The converter on DC power supply does not require the protective grounding but it does function grounding. It has the same type of case as the converter on AC power supply, therefore you see the symbol of protective grounding .
S4(NC) Contact S4 Normally Close Figure 2.9 Relay module contacts FLXA402 has 4 contact outputs, which allows configuration to adjust to operation. Contact S4 is fail safe contact. See IM-Converter operation Section 4.4. IM 12A01F01-03EN There are 2 cable inlets. Take a suitable one to run wiring with good structure. Be sure to plug unused cable gland with a supplied rubber close up plug.
<2. WIRING AND INSTALLATION> 2.5.3 Wiring network cables FLXA402 provides two types of wired digital network, Ethernet (Modbus TCP/IP) or RS-485 (Modbus RTU). Use shielded cable to avoid deteriorated performance caused by EMI disturbance or radiation effects on electric devices.
Page 29
2-12 <2. WIRING AND INSTALLATION> Ethernet cabling Suffix code-E is specified. (Modbus TCP/IP) Figure 2.12 shows the positions of RJ45. Use STP shield cable of category 5 or greater to the RJ45 connector. You can apply both straight and crossover cable for Ethernet cabling. Modbus TCP/IP (Ethernet) Figure 2.12...
Wiring mA output FLXA402 transmits 4-20 mA analog signals with maximum load of 600 Ω to peripherals including a control system or recorders. IO module has mA output function. Be sure to use shielded cables for output signal cables, and connect shield to terminal 63 (or 89*).

IO code -A4 is selected Figure 2.15 IO module terminal assignment When all wiring is complete, close the FLXA402 front cover, and turn the power on. Check that the screen displays normally. CAUTION To install the front panel, tighten each screw evenly until every four of them is completely fastened.
2-15 <2. WIRING AND INSTALLATION> Sensor wiring The FLXA402 can be used with a wide range of commercially available sensor types, both from Yokogawa and other manufacturers. Terminal screw size is M3, and torque of screw up is 0.6 N•m.

<2. WIRING AND INSTALLATION> NOTE The special grommet is intended to be used to seal the multiple cables from the Yokogawa flow fittings such as FF20. The designated cables are WU20 sensor cables, which are approximately 5 mm (0.2”) in diameter, and K1500FV liquid earth cables, which are approximately 2.5 mm (0.1”) in diameter.
2-21 <2. WIRING AND INSTALLATION> FLXA402 Temp 2.6.3 Wiring the inductive conductivity (ISC) sensor ISC40 sensors are connected to the module as follows: FLXA402 Temp Receive coil shield Sensor shield (internal) Drive coil shield The sensors are supplied with integral cables and each individual wire is marked with the corresponding terminal numbers.
The input module for DO measurement is suitable for different types of DO sensors: i. Galvanic sensors like model DO30G ii. Polarographic sensors like HAMILTON’S Oxyferm and Oxygold The connection is as follows: FLXA402 11 TC + TC - + anode galvanic...
FLXA402 detects the sensor connected and displays an alarm if the sensors are not connected. CAUTION Turn off the power to FLXA402 when pulling off cables from the digital sensors, or connecting the digital sensors to cables which are already wired to FLXA402.
Because WU11 cables are thin, first remove the cable gland’s standard packing and apply the supplied grommet instead. Grommet Remove the standard packing. Sensor FLXA402 acknowledges the connection of sensors, if not, FLXA402 alerts an error. IM 12A01F01-02EN 2nd Edition : Feb. 19, 2019-00...
