It does not establish that either coupler is included with SB401-50. Confirm the quoted bill of materials and the contents of the specific order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ2: How can I determine whether a single or dual FCU configuration is installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Check the system drawings, FCU hardware arrangement, and installed coupler modules. The supplied instructions specify EC401 or EC402 in Slot 7 with Slot 8 empty for a single configuration, and installation in Slots 7 and 8 for the stated two-slot arrangement. Verify the applicable system manual before making changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ3: Can I use the listed 24 V DC, 5.5 A figure to size the SB401-50 power supply?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not without confirming which assembly the figure applies to. The supplied weight includes eight I\/O modules, suggesting that some listed data may describe a larger assembly. Use the target equipment nameplate and official documentation to determine the actual supply requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ4: What details are most useful when diagnosing an ESB communication fault?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Record the FCU model, EC401\/EC402 model and slot positions, node identification, relevant alarm messages, and any recent wiring or module changes.
