Foxboro FMB231 Communication Output Module

Certain TAAs, listed in “Available TAA Modules”, support the replacement of multiple

100 Series FBMs. For example, TAA01 is used to replace FBM01 or FBM43. Thus, it

can accept the Termination Cable Assemblies from any of these FBMs attached to its

front.

For convenience, a label is mounted on the top of these TAAs to indicate which 100

Series FBM the TAA is substituting. Figure 2 shows an example of this label, which

has entries for FBM01 or FBM43 with checkboxes for each FBM. Installers mark the

appropriate checkbox to indicate which FBM is being replaced with this TAA, and

which Termination Cable Assembly should be used with this TAA. We recommend

that installers use permanent markers such as a Sharpie® pen (or equivalent) when

marking the checkboxes.
