FEATURES

› Transmits up to eight contact closures over one optical fiber

› Eight channel Point-to-Point architecture

› Optically isolated inputs rated at 1500 V to ground

› Designed to meet full compliance with the environmental

requirements (ambient operating temperature, mechanical

shock, vibration, humidity with condensation, high-line/low-

line voltage conditions and transient voltage protection) of

NEMA TS-1/TS-2 and the Caltrans Specification for Traffic

Signal Control Equipment.

› Microprocessor-based logic eliminates random contact

closure status in electrically noisy environments.

› Ambient operating temperature range: -40˚ C to +75˚ C for

deployment in virtually any unconditioned out-of-plant or

roadside environment

› Status indicating LEDs provide rapid indication of critical

operating parameters

› Hot-swappable rack modules

› Interchangeable between stand-alone or rack mount use –

ComFit

› May be DIN-rail mounted by the addition of ComNet DIN-Rail

adaptor plate (Model DINBKT1 or DINBKT4, sold separately)

› Lifetime Warranty

APPLICATIONS

› Remote control of mission-critical vital trackside relaying or

roadside signaling equipment

› Remote operation of lane, gate, or door operators

or controllers

› Building HVAC, industrial control, and SCADA networks

› Non-latching fire and intrusion alarm systems

› Non-latching triggered alarm & PIR (Passive Infrared)

detection systems

› Latching Relay output applications

The ComNet

™

FDC8ISOT 8-Channel Contact Closure Transmitter unit provides up to

eight independent normally-open (NO) dry contact closures over one multimode or

single-mode optical fiber, when used in conjunction with the companion ComNet model

FDC8NLR Non-Latching Receiver or FDC8R Latching Receiver units. Each of the contact

closure inputs are optically isolated at 1500V to ground, for those applications where

high stray or transient voltages may exist. Microprocessor-based logic in the FDC8ISOT

Transmitter detects a customer-furnished switch or contact closure, and encodes the

closure into robust data packets that are mapped and transmitted to the FDC8NLR

Receiver. Packets received with excessive bit errors will not result in random changes in

the receiver relay contact resting or actuated states, making this system ideal for mission-

critical remote switching applications. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation

and operation, and no optical or electrical adjustments are ever required.
