  • Page 20 Enclosure mounting Figure 4-1: Junction box access requirements Junction boxes require a 180° opening. Prepare the mounting bracket using the outline drawing as a template for the mounting hole locations. Use the machine screws to attach the mounting feet to the back of the enclosure. Align mounting feet vertically to ensure proper access.
  • Page 21 Enclosure mounting Figure 4-2: Junction box wiring notes Maintain cable pair twists as close to the terminal block as possible. Do not allow shield drain wires or foil from individual cables to short. Use heat shrink and dress wire ends as necessary. Strip the insulation and shield as close to the terminal block as possible.

  • Page 97 Specifications 10.3.1 Input Power LED The Input Power LED indicates the status of the power converters that distribute various voltages within the A6560R Processor card. A steady green color indicates that all power converters are within the proper voltage ranges, while a steady or blinking red condition indicates a power fault somewhere inside the A6560R Processor card.
  • Page 98 Specifications Table 10-5: Transient status conditions (continued) LED Color Status Priority Comments Solid Green Normal operation. 10.3.4 System Status LED The System Status LED indicates the status of the overall system. It indicates the active status condition with the highest priority of all boards in the system. For example, if the Test Function generator on the A6560R Processor card is uncalibrated and the first MSIG module has a power fault, the LED will show a solid red color to indicate the MSIG module power fault, which is a “Failure”...

  • Page 102 11.1.1 Test Signal Generator (TSG) calibration All CPU boards provided by Emerson are shipped with a calibrated TSG circuit. If the CPU board is purchased as part of a system, the entire system is calibrated using the TSG circuit. Recalibrate the function generator every three years with a NIST traceable volt meter.
  • Page 103 System calibration DSP recalibration should be performed: • annually. • whenever an A6510 Signal Input module is replaced. • whenever an A6560R CPU module is replaced. • if the calibration table has a status of “Unknown”. Product Support personnel can guide a technician through DSP calibration over the phone. MHM-97125-PBF-EN, R0...
