Installing the cFP-PWM-520

The cFP-PWM-520 mounts on a Compact FieldPoint backplane

(cFP-BP-x or cFP-180x), which provides operating power to the

module. Installing the cFP-PWM-520 onto a powered backplane

does not disrupt the operation of the bank.

To install the cFP-PWM-520, refer to Figure2 and complete the

following steps:

1. Align the captive screws on the cFP-PWM-520 with the screw

holes on the backplane. The alignment keys on the

cFP-PWM-520 prevent backward insertion.

2. Press firmly to seat the cFP-PWM-520 on the backplane.

3. Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver with a shank of at least

64mm (2.5 in.) length, tighten the captive screws to 1.1 N ⋅m

(10 lb⋅in.) of torque. The nylon coating on the screws prevents

them from loosening.
