High performance Controller with logic and priority settings for monitoring toxic, combustible and refrigerant gases with versatile control functionality

The FCS Flexible Control System is a sophisticated, high performance controller that offers multi-channel configurations for monitoring toxic, combustible and refrigerant gases with versatile control functionality for non-hazardous, non-explosion rated, commercial and light industrial applications. The FCS is designed to accept inputs from digital and/or analog transmitters and/or Peripheral Devices (in various combinations),using Modbus® RTU RS-485 or 4-20 mA analog input.

The FCS is available in 4 channel, 8 channel, 32 channel and 128 channel models with either Modbus® RTU RS-485 WAN output or with BACnet® MS/TP RS-485 WAN output for communicating with a Building Automation System (BAS).

All models include, four configurable SPDT dry contact relays with field configurable time delays and trigger levels, a full colour LCD resistive touch screen with LED panel indicating configurable channel alarm status, relay status and fault conditions, intuitive menu system with password protection, enhanced logic control, priorities/zoning capabilities, a USB port for firmware upgrades, data logging and a door-mounted, audible alarm. The FCS has flexible configuration settings for analog outputs and supports 4-20 mA and Modbus® driven VFDs.

Optional value added features include, analog inputs and/or analog outputs, a top mounted strobe, a locking door, a manual shut off switch and a water tight, door-mounted audible alarm.
