Labels applied to the back of the POD identify each of the
connection points.
Note: Pins 2 and 4 of terminal block TB1 have no internal connection
on the personality board. When used with the terminal block jumpers,
pins 2 and 4 can provide additional 4-20mA connections or supply
power for daisy-chained units.
2.2.5 Foundation Fieldbus Wiring
Foundation Fieldbus connections to the XNX transmitter are
made through a pluggable terminal block on the Foundation
Fieldbus option board, shown in Figure 39. A simulation switch
(SW5)isincludedontheboardtoenable/disablesimulation
mode. Terminals 3-1 through 3-4 are provided to facilitate bus
wiring;thereisnointernalconnectiontootherXNXcircuitry.
Terminal 3-1 is connected internally to 3-2. Similarly, terminal 3-3
is connected internally to 3-4.

2.2.6 Terminal Block Connections
Connections to the transmitter are made via pluggable terminal
blocks secured to the back of the POD. The terminal blocks are

Two terminal block jumpers are included to provide an electrical
connection without connection to the Personality Board. Install
the jumpers between pins 1 and 2 and between pins 3 and 4 to
support multi-node wiring.
Warning: When the transmitter is equipped with the optional Remote Mount
Kit, the remote sensor must be securely mounted in a fixed position. The Remote
Sensor kit is not intednded to be used as a hand-held sensor.
