First Out Indicator
Compact
(Microprocessor)
also known as
First Out Annunciator,
First Fault Indicator,
First Fault Annunciator,
etc.
Part # 0301
(NEW)
NOTE: We now offer this in a portable case!
** PLEASE NOTE **
We
are sold out of the standalone Compact FOI (#0301), if interested in
purchasing quantities of this product please
contact us to discuss options. We do however have
portable FOIs available.
A First Out Indicator (FOI) --
also know as First Fault Indicator (FFI) -- is a stand-alone
diagnostic tool for non-technical, industrial applications. It is used to
monitor a number of electrical contacts, limit switches,
push buttons, relays, photo eyes, etc. required to be on for activation of
a device e.g. a series string. Should the device stop functioning, the FOI will display the first
contact that caused the device to stop running. The FOI provides valuable
real-time monitoring to help maintenance personnel resolve intermittent or
random shutdown problems. This helps to reduce machine downtime resulting in
increase production.
The
FOI was designed to alert operators and/or maintenance crews to the first
contact (event) to drop out causing an entire process line to shut down
without warning. This allows companies to reduce downtime and increase
productivity by immediately notifying operators of process faults for
accurate and quick maintenance actions. A process line is defined as
equipment in operation using a control circuit with a series of contacts
and/or switches that cause the entire process to perform an absolute shut
down in the event one contact or switch opens, indicating a failure or a
safety violation.
First Out Indicators are normally found in
industrial applications including but not limited to Burner Systems,
Printing Presses, HVAC Systems, and Furnaces or other utilize process line
configurations. FOI can be used for any application that has an electrical
circuit with a number of contacts required for a permissive run. Other,
non-industrial uses include display of first respondent in a game show and
positive lockout of the other contestants.
