Important
Use only batteries supplied with the flow computer or sold by Emerson Remote Automation
Solutions as spare parts for this flow computer. If you substitute a battery you obtain elsewhere
you will void your certification unless it is the identical part from the same manufacturer as that
supplied with the flow computer from Emerson.
Option Usage
External DC Power
10.5 Vdc to 30 Vdc external supply (Max power at 10 watts)
Supply
1.7 Communications
The flow computer includes three serial communication ports and one Ethernet port. The serial
ports allow communication using DNP3, Modbus, BSAP, and ROC protocols. The Ethernet port is an
RJ-45 connector; the FB2200 supports a maximum of six concurrent TCP connections (sockets)
through this port.

The HMI module includes four LEDs to provide status information. Units with the display include
four infrared (IR) buttons for operator interaction.
To conserve power the HMI module enters sleep mode after a period of inactivity. Sleep mode
disables FBxWifi communication. In FBxConnect, you can configure the number of minutes of
inactivity triggering sleep mode through the LCD Sleep Time parameter. Setting this parameter to
0 disables sleep mode which keeps the HMI module on but uses significantly more power.
Note
If your flow computer does not include the LCD option (shown in Figure 1-4), you still have the
status LEDs and a single IR button for waking up the device (shown in Figure 1-5).

type and environmental conditions but is typically 70 to 100 feet from the front of the flow
computer and 40 to 60 feet from the side and rear of the flow computer.
This capability allows an operator to potentially remain outside the hazardous location and still
communicate with the flow computer. The operator's laptop must have Wi-Fi capability, line-of-
sight access to the HMI module, and must be loaded with FBxConnect configuration software.
Once connected, the operator can view process values, edit configuration parameters, and collect
logs.
Note
The FBxWifi electronics reside inside the HMI module. The HMI module must be awake to use
FBxWifi communications You can wake it up manually by holding a finger against the front cover
glass over the Hold to Wake button (the left-most button) for typically from five to ten seconds.

2.6 Grounding
The flow computer includes a ground stud on the bottom of the battery compartment
Once you have installed the unit, run a ground wire between the ground stud on the
bottom of the battery compartment and a known good earth ground. You route the
ground wire through one of the conduit fittings.
Use stranded copper wire to earth ground and keep the length as short as possible.
Clamp or braze the ground wire to the ground bed conductor (typically a stranded
copper AWG 0000 cable installed vertically or horizontally).
Run the ground wire so that any routing bend in the cable has a minimum radius of
30.48 cm (12 inches) below ground and 20.32 cm (8 inches) above ground.
For more information on grounding or if your installation uses cathodic protection, refer to Site
Considerations for Equipment Installation, Grounding, and Wiring (D301452X012).

Connecting DC Power
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Ensure the area in which you perform this operation is non-hazardous.
Performing this operation in a hazardous area could result in an explosion.
When power comes from an external DC supply, connect using the +DCIN and –DCIN terminals.
Use standard copper wire (#18 AWG minimum). The device supports both 12V and 24V power
supplies. It accepts DC voltage from 10.5 to 30V; the amount of power required varies depending
upon the options used.
Important
If your installation uses DC power for main power, do not wire battery power as a secondary (back
up) power source. Certification only allows a single main power source; wiring both sources will
void your certification.
Note
If your flow computer does not power on, check that the polarity of the DC input voltage wiring
connections match Figure 2‐22. If you accidentally reversed the polarity of the connectors, it
triggers a polyfuse (positive coefficient temperature thermistor) to protect the device from
damage. Once the polarity is corrected, the polyfuse resets automatically to allow for proper
operation.
Installation 35

Important
If you purchased this device with the rechargeable lead acid battery pack, be aware that the lead
acid battery pack must always be stored in a charged state. If you do not intend to install the flow
computer immediately, make provisions to “top-off” the lead acid battery at six-month intervals.
Failure to do so could sharply reduce battery life or result in a dead battery. Note: Battery options for
main power are not allowed in ATEX installations.
When power comes from an internal battery pack, the battery pack plugs into one of two pairs of
connectors.
The device provides a battery cable with two pairs of battery connectors, enabling you to hot-swap
the battery pack in a non-hazardous location. You can use either pair of connectors when you
install the battery.

Restriction
The solar panel and lead acid battery combination cannot be used with ATEX/IECEx applications.
When power comes from a solar panel/lead acid battery combination, connect using the BATT+
and BATT– terminals and standard copper wire (#18 AWG minimum).
Important
Only use batteries supplied with the flow computer or sold by Emerson as spare parts for this
flow computer. If you substitute a battery you obtain elsewhere you will void your certification
unless it is the identical part from the same manufacturer as that supplied with the flow
computer from Emerson.
If you purchase a solar panel/external solar regulator combination other than the Emerson-
approved option, it must meet the specifications listed in Tables 2-6 and 2-7.
If you are using your own external solar controller/30W solar panel not purchased through
Emersion, you can use this section as an example of a typical installation. You should also consult
the manufacturer’s instructions for your solar panel/solar regulator.
In either situation, you must use the battery, cables, and fuses supplied by Emerson for your
connections to the solar controller/solar panel.
Note
When making connections to the junction box or the solar regulator, you will need a suitable cable
gland/grommet to prevent water ingress to the junction box.
See Figure 2-39 for wiring instructions if you ordered the internal solar regulator.

Point the solar panel surface due south (in the northern hemisphere) or due north (in the
southern hemisphere) at an angle determined by the latitude of the site. Table 2-8 shows the
angle (from horizontal) at which you should install the solar panel to maximize annual energy
output. At most latitudes, you can improve performance by reducing the angle during the
summer and increasing the angle during the winter. If no seasonal adjustments in panel
direction are needed, then adjust the position for the worst-case December-February angle.
Solar insolation is the amount of solar energy in hours received each day by an optimally
tilted panel during the worst month of the year. An insolation rating of one hour means that
the site, on average, would receive one hour of solar energy at the panel's rated power level
(1000W/m2 per day). This rating varies from less than one hour in northern Canada to more
than six hours in the Sahara Desert.

Radio Wiring
I/O in the FB2200 flow computer comes from the integrated multivariable sensor and RTD
connector, the CPU board, as well as the optional mixed I/O modules.
Note
When using a digital output to drive an inductive load (such as a relay coil), place a suppression
diode across the load. This protects the DO from the reverse Electro-Motive Force (EMF) spike
generated when the inductive load is switched off.
Notes About Power for an External Device Connected to a Flow Computer I/O Point:
If the external device does not include its own integrated power supply, you must provide your own
external supply (30Vdc maximum) for that device.
If your FB2200 flow computer includes the optional 8-channel Expansion I/O Module, you may be
able to use the 24V loop power terminals to power the external device. In this case, the maximum
load current cannot exceed 500 mA.

generated when the inductive load is switched off.
When configured as digital outputs, the channels have the following characteristics:
Note
Digital outputs are rated to 500mA maximum. In a small number of applications, however, the load
on the DO could have an effect on the uncertainty of the analog inputs and outputs. The typical
increase in uncertainty is around 0.05% and only occurs when all of the following are true:
Either of the two analog channels in the base I/O is used as an AI (in voltage mode) or as an AO
and
Either of the two digital channels in the base I/O is used as a DO and
The total current load on these two DOs is greater than 300mA
Analog inputs in current mode and the I/O channels in the expansion I/O boards are not affected.

Establishing Communications
Communicating using the HMI Module
This section describes day-to-day operation of the flow computer including how to turn it on and
off and how to communicate with it.
2. Terminal block TB2 (pins 1,3,5,7) includes connections for DC power (DCIN+, DCIN-) and
battery/ solar power (BATT+, BATT-). The internal battery (which is also used with solar
power) has its own internal connectors.
Plug in TB2 (pins 1,3,5,7) to activate DC or battery/solar power. If your device uses an
internal battery and it is not connected, connect it as discussed in 2.8.3 Connecting
Battery Power.
Unplug TB2 (pins 1,3,5,7) to deactivate DC or battery/solar power.
This turns on (or shuts OFF) power from either an external power supply or the battery
pack/solar panel.
Note
When you turn power on, the backlight on the HMI module lights, momentarily turns off and then
remains lit while the INPUT LED blinks. After approximately one minute the initialization process
finishes and the HMI starts to display live data.
2. Decide which communication protocol you will use. This could be DNP3, ROC, Modbus, or
BSAP. See these documents for more information:

3. Provide the SCADA host with information about the various parameters it needs to extract
from the application running in the flow computer. Typically, the SCADA host software
includes a utility that allows you to identify this information so it can be incorporated into the
database at the SCADA host.
4. Using whatever human-machine interface (HMI) tools exist for the SCADA host, create
graphical displays or reports that include the parameters from the application required for
successful operator interaction (setpoints, flow variables and so on).

To conserve power, the HMI module enters sleep mode after a period of inactivity. Sleep mode
disables FBxWifi communication. In FBxConnect, you can configure the number of minutes of
inactivity triggering sleep mode through the LCD Sleep Time parameter. Setting this

19. Rotate the electronics assembly up against the battery compartment and tighten the captive
fastening screws with a torque value of 2 to 4 in-lbs (0.2 to 0.5 N m) to close the
compartment.
20. Close the enclosure.
Important
If the unit is ever powered down without the SRAM battery installed, SRAM data is lost. Always
back up your data before you remove the SRAM battery if you know that main power will also
be off.
Replacement SRAM backup batteries must be either Rayovac® Model BR2335 or Panasonic®
Model BR2330.
DANGER
Ensure the flow computer is in a non-hazardous area. Never open the enclosure in a hazardous
area.
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been removed or the area
is known to be non-hazardous.
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Substitution of any components may impair suitability for Class I, Division
2.
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Do not replace batteries unless power has been switched off or the area is
known to be non-hazardous. Batteries must only be changed in an area known to be non-
hazardous.
3. Grasp the coin cell battery and with your fingernail in the groove of the top of the battery,
slide it out of its slot.
4. Insert the new coin cell battery in the slot. The negative side (shiny side with no writing on it)
must be facing outwards (towards where the CPU enclosure cover would be).
CAUTION
When inserting the SRAM coin cell battery, push the battery gently into its slot until it
stops. The battery should slide in easily. Do not use excessive force.
You must know a valid username/password combination for the flow computer to complete this
process.
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Ensure the area in which you perform this operation is non-hazardous.
Performing this operation in a hazardous area could result in an explosion.
Important
A power loss occurring during a firmware update to a unit with a dead SRAM coin cell battery
can corrupt SRAM memory and place the flow computer in a continuous boot cycle, requiring
you to return the device to the factory for repairs. To avoid this, be sure to replace the SRAM
coin cell battery when its power is low. To check this in FBxConnect, click Services > System
Power and look at the SRAM Battery Status field on the display.
When upgrading system firmware version 01.xx.xx.xx to version 2.05.xx.xx or newer, allow up to
10 minutes to complete the upgrade and do not power cycle the unit.
1. Launch Field Tools and use FBxConnect to connect to the flow computer.
2. Select the Services tab, then click Firmware Update.
3. Click Configuration Save to save the flow computer’s configuration.
4. Click History Collection to save the historical data contained in the flow computer.
5. Click Firmware Update.
6. In the Firmware Update dialog box, click Browse and navigate to the zip file containing your
new system firmware. The grid updates with details of the firmware version currently in the
device, and the firmware version in the zip file.
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been removed or the area
is known to be non-hazardous.
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Substitution of any components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 1
or Class I, Division 2.
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Do not replace batteries unless power has been switched off or the area is
known to be non-hazardous. Batteries must only be changed in an area known to be non-
hazardous.

Make provisions to ensure, in the event of transient disturbances, that the rated voltage does
not exceed 140 percent of the peak rated voltage.
Lead acid battery and solar power options are not for use in ATEX applications.
Impact tests on the display were conducted based on Group II values for the low risk of
mechanical danger, in accordance with Table 13 of both EN 60079-0:2012+A11:2013 and IEC
60079-0 6th Edition. Install flow computers with displays in areas where the risk of impact is
low.
For Zone 2 installations, ensure that the flow computer is installed and used in such a way to
prevent the danger of electrostatic charges.
