cause near end crosstalk at the system end of the
loop wiring cable. Loops using FBM internal power
source do not require Baluns.

The Cable Balun module contains multiple Baluns.
One Balun segment is interconnected in each loop
powered from an external power supply per the
diagram above. There is one Cable Balun module.

LOOP POWER SUPPLY PROTECTION
Each channel is galvanically group isolated,
current limited, and voltage regulated.
All inputs are limited by their design to less than
30 mA with a single module installed (60 MA
when redundant modules are installed). If the
current limit circuit shorts out, the current is
limited to about 85 mA.
MAXIMUM LOOP RESISTANCE
280 Ω (not including the field device)(3)
FBM INPUT IMPEDANCE
280 Ω minimum
FBM INTERNAL POWER FOR FIELD DEVICE
24 V dc ±10% common power supply for all
channels. Loop load limited to one device per
channel.
ISOLATION
The channels are not galvanically isolated from
each other, but are galvanically isolated (both
optical and transformer isolation) as a group from
ground and module logic. Inputs use an internal
FBM isolated power supply for field power. The
module withstands, without damage, a potential
of 600 V ac applied for one minute between the
group isolated channels and earth (ground).
CAUTION
This does not imply that these channels are
intended for permanent connection to
voltages of these levels. Exceeding the limits
for input voltages, as stated elsewhere in this
specification, violates electrical safety codes
and may expose users to electric shock
