GENERAL ASSEMBLY
DESCRIPTION
 
The Trusted
TM
20 Channel Isolated AI/DI FTA (Field Termination Assembly)
T8834 is designed to act as the main interface between a field device 
generating a 4-20mA signal and the Isolated Analogue Input Module T8433. 
When used with a Trusted
TM
T8433 TMR Isolated Analogue Input module
each of the inputs is powered from the field or FTA as required, and 
individually isolated. 
The FTA allows the field loop to be wired in a variety of configurations. The 
field device may be connected with either three or four wire power from the 
FTA, or the device may be powered locally with the module input circuit 
powered from the device. The device may source current to the loop, or sink 
it to the loop or to the local power supply. Four terminals are provided to 
allow this versatility. 
 
The module input circuit is powered by current passed through a zener 
diode. The field input loop is fed through a 100R precision resistor to provide 
a voltage measurement in the module. Each field device is isolated from the 
other devices and from ground. 
The cable linking the 20 channels on the input module to the FTA is 
terminated at a 96-way socket. A row of eighty screw terminations is used 
for the field loops, with another forty terminations providing local isolated 
power connections. 
The FTA is designed to be mounted on either of the TS32 or TS35 DIN rails 
in the horizontal or vertical positions as required.
