Contacts now accessible over long distances

The Omniterm FCT (Transmitter [C2472A]) & Omniterm FCR (Receiver [C2473]) modules provide the ability to send a digital contact signal up to 4km over a single optical fibre. When the contact on the FCT Transmitter module is closed, the relay output on the FCR Receiver module is energised. LEDs are provided to indicate the state of the input and output contacts and the presence of instrument power.

USES :
• Safety Interlock Systems
• Critical Failsafe Alarms
• High Integrity Alarm Annunciator Front End
• Ideal for Areas of High Electrical Interference

FEATURES :
• Send digital contacts over Fibre Optic Cable
• Transmission distances of up to 4km
• High Reliability Design
• Ideal for monitoring of Critical Alarms
• Can be used with Omni16C Alarm Annunciators in IEC61508 SIL applications
• PFD suitable for SIL2 Applications
• Potential Free Contact inputs
• Form C Contact output
• 10-30Vdc Supply
• Longer distances (9 and 16km) are available as option using 1300nm and/or single mode cable.

Fail Safety is a key feature of this design and care has been taken to ensure the highest level of reliability. The FCT and FCR modules have a pfd suitable for SIL2 (Safety Integrity Level 2) applications . Forming part of Omniflex's extensive OMNITERM range of industrial instrumentation, the OMNITERM FCT and FCR are designed to be DIN rail or surface mounted and are an economical 22.5mm wide.

Advantages of using Fibre optic cable over conventional copper or coaxial cables include :
• High data rate and wide bandwidth
• Immunity to EMI/RFI and lightning damage
• No ground loops
• Low attenuation (data loss)
• Longer distances
• Secure Communications
• Low System Cost
• Longer Life Expectancy than Copper or Coaxial Cable
• Cable of the Future
