Product Summary

 
     The First Out Indicator (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.  Therefore, eliminating guesswork of which device contact opened first initiating the shutdown of the equipment, this helps to reduce the downtime of production equipment.  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 such as Burner Systems, Printing Presses, HVAC System, Furnaces, etc that utilize this type configuration.  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 might include display of first respondent in a game show and positive lockout of the other contestants.

Key Features

  • 10 Isolated Inputs, to allow monitoring of contacts from different power sources
  • Power Supply can accept 115VAC or 230VAC (switch-selectable)
  • Remote or on-board RESET and PAST FAULT SELECT
  • Customer contacts, Form "C" rated 12 Amps 120 VAC, 12 Amps 24 VDC, are useful for sounding remote alarms, stopping or starting related processes, etc.
  • Easy to read 7 - Segment LED, 0.44" x 0.81" / 11.2mm x 20.6mm, to indicate the "First Out"
  • 11 Replaceable Isolated Output Solid State Relays for remote display of the "First Out" and fault conditions (common ground) These are useful for interfacing with other automation, remote LED or incandescent lamp displays
  • Additional inputs may be added in groups of 10
  • Unit will store and recall previous "First Out"
  • Microprocessor design eliminates false indications due to electrical noise
  • 200K input resistance (50-250V) and 18K (5-50V) assures low circuit loading
  • Quick-Connect terminal blocks for quick removal of external connections
