Moore Industries FCT Signal Isolator
FCT
Description
Moore Industries 4-wire FCT can be used as a signal isolator, converter, and/or repeater. Compact, yet highly versatile, the FCT features field-configurable input and output parameters, and universal power input. The FCT is the ideal plant standard. IsolatorThe FCT provides total isolation between the signal from a non-isolated signal transmitter and a receiving device. This eliminates faulty readings in process measurement and control equipment caused by ground loops, electrical interference, or motor noise. ConverterThe FCTs wide range of input and output choices allows it to act as a precise interface between transmitters, transducers, controllers and control systems with dissimilar signals. RepeaterThe FCT can be used to increase (boost) drive capability to a process loop to allow installation of additional instruments on the loop. The FCT also is excellent for splitting a secondary signal from a process loop to a recorder, indicator or other similar device.
The universal mounting clip of the DIN-style FCT allows quick installation on a G-type or Top Hat rail in a control room or in a field-mounted cabinet.
