FC-33 DC Selectable Signal Conditioner

$130.00

UL file E200031

Overview

The FC-33 is a DIN-rail or side-mount, selectable input/output
signal conditioner with 1500 VDC isolation between input and
output, and 1500 VDC isolation between 24-volt power and input/
output. The field configurable input/output types allow a wide
ranging capability for 0-5V, 0-10V, 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA signals.

The FC-33 has built-in self-calibration, but also has OFFSET (zero)
and SPAN (full scale) adjustments of the output signal. The OFFSET
has an adjustment range of 0 to 25% of full scale input and the
SPAN has an adjustment of 80% to 102%.

Level LED: The LED is a powerful tool when setting up the signal
conditioner. During normal operation the LED will blink at a propor­tional rate to the selected input signal level. When performing field
calibration the LED is used for indication of the internal calibration
process.

CAL-Pushbutton: This pushbutton, along with various switch
settings, allows you to calibrate the OFFSET and/or SPAN for your
application or to restore factory default calibration.

Application

The FC-33, field configurable isolated input/output signal
conditioner, is useful in eliminating ground loops and inter­facing sensors to PLC analog input modules. The FC-33 has
3-way isolation; this feature solves many types of configura­tion problems. For example, the signal conditioner can be
configured for a sinking input and a sourcing output. It also
allows signal translation from current input to voltage output
or voltage input to current output.

This feature would be useful in a system design with a limited
type and number of channels – for example: eight channels of
0-10 VDC, seven of which are used, and one 4-20 mA input
transmitter.

FC-11 4-20mA Isolated Signal Conditioner

$97.00

Specifications

UL file E200031

Overview

The FC-11 is a DIN-rail or side-mount, 4-20 mA Input/Output
loop powered signal conditioner with 1500 VDC isolation
between input and output.

The FC-11 has a user-selectable factory calibration. The output
can also be calibrated with OFFSET (zero) and SPAN (full scale)
adjustments. The OFFSET has an adjustment range of 0 to 25%
of full scale input and the SPAN has an adjustment of 80% to
102%.

Application

The FC-11 isolated input/output signal conditioner is useful in
eliminating ground loops and sinking/sourcing issues when inter­facing to PLC analog input modules. The FC-11 design feature
solves many types of configuration problems. For example, the
signal conditioner can solve the problem of connecting a sinking
input transmitter to a sinking analog input module.
