Automation Direct FC-R1 Signal Conditioner RTD Input

Automation Direct FC-R1 Signal Conditioner is a single‑channel RTD input transmitter that is loop‑powered and isolated, converting Pt100, Pt1000, or Cu100 RTD signals into a 4–20 mA current output for PLC analog inputs. It supports RTD input types and three‑wire RTD sensors, enabling accurate temperature measurement from Pt100, Pt1000, and Cu100 elements. It operates from a 24 VDC process loop and provides a current output that can be read by standard 4–20 mA input modules, making it well suited for long cable runs and noisy environments. The unit can mount on a 35 mm DIN rail or be panel‑mounted, and uses removable screw‑terminal plugs for input and output wiring. Temperature can be configured for (or read in) Celsius or Fahrenheit. The FC‑R1’s isolated input‑to‑output architecture helps protect controller electronics from electrical noise and surges, a common requirement in industrial temperature sensing. With a 1‑channel RTD input and 4–20 mA output, it is designed to interface RTD sensors to Automation Direct PLCs and other current‑loop driven controllers, enabling reliable temperature monitoring and control across process lines. The part number is FC‑R1, identifying the RTD input signal conditioner used to convert RTD signals to a standardized current loop for downstream instrumentation.
