2.8 Installation Verification

2.8.1 Network Cabling Installation Verification

After installation is complete and prior to operation, inspect the network cable and its connection to
each field device.

NOTE: Units should be disconnected from power. The network should be disconnected from the host
device.

Check for the following:

1. There should not be:

• Nicks in the insulation - this can cause a short to the grounded shield.
• Cut strands in a stranded conductor - this can cause a poor connection and eventually an open

circuit.

2. Cable armor shorted to the cable shield/drain wire this may not be at ground potential and could

be subject to lightning surges.

3. The Shield/drain wire should only be grounded at one point in the segment to avoid ground loop

problems.

4. The ground/earth connection should be at true ground potential and effective at all times. See No.

5 in Section 2.6.1, Site Preparation.

2.8.2 MX/QX FF Device Installation Verification

Verify the field device is installed as follows:

1. Enter the Setup mode as detailed in Installation and Operation Manual Bulletins LMENIM2306 for

the MX or LMENIM3306 for the QX

2. In the Setup mode, use the black control knob to select YES to the main menu selection VIEW

DIAGNOSTICS?

3. Select YES to the display VIEW HARDWARE STATUS?

4. Select YES to scroll through the menu selections. The LCD will read FF (OK) - NEXT? if installed.

NOTE: If the FF (OK) - NEXT? does not appear, contact Limitorque for assistance.

5. To return to the normal display, use the black knob to select either LOCAL or REMOTE.

2.9 Configuration Confirmation

Field device operation cannot be verified until the complete Fieldbus system is operational. However,
routine checks can be performed to verify many functions.

2.9.1 Checking Connections

Verify that all connections, including data wires, shield ground, digital inputs (optional), digital
outputs (optional), and analog inputs (optional) are in accordance with MX/QX wiring diagrams and
MX/QX FF device diagrams in Section 2.6.
