Upgrading the FieldPoint Firmware
You may need to upgrade the FieldPoint firmware when you add 
new I/O modules to the FieldPoint system. For information on 
determining which firmware you need and how to upgrade your 
firmware, go to

Isolation and Safety Guidelines
Caution
Read the following information before 
attempting to connect the [c]FP-RTD-122 to any circuits 
that may contain hazardous voltages.
This section describes the isolation of the [c]FP-RTD-122 and its 
compliance with international safety standards. The field wiring 
connections are isolated from the backplane and the inter-module 
communication bus. The isolation is provided by the module, 
which has optical and galvanic isolation barriers designed and 
tested to protect against transient fault voltages of up to 2,300 V
rms
.
Follow these guidelines to ensure a safe total system:
The [c]FP-RTD-122 has a safety isolation barrier between the 
I/O channels and the inter-module communication bus. There 
is no isolation between channels unless otherwise noted. If any 
of the channels on a module are wired at a hazardous potential, 
make sure that all other devices or circuits connected to that 
module are properly insulated from human contact.
Do not share the external supply voltages (the V and C 
terminals) with other devices (including other FieldPoint 
devices), unless those devices are isolated from human contact.
For Compact FieldPoint, you must connect the protective earth 
(PE) ground terminal on the cFP-BP-x backplane to the system 
safety ground. The backplane PE ground terminal has the 
following symbol stamped beside it: 
. Connect the 
backplane PE ground terminal to the system safety ground 
using 14 AWG (1.6 mm) wire with a ring lug. Use the 5/16 in. 
panhead screw shipped with the backplane to secure the ring 
lug to the backplane PE ground terminal.
As with any hazardous voltage wiring, make sure that all 
wiring and connections meet applicable electrical codes and 
commonsense practices. Mount terminal bases and backplanes 
in an area, position, or cabinet that prevents accidental or 
unauthorized access to wiring that carries hazardous voltages.
