Options and Accessories

The FB100 supports the following options and accessories:
▪ Communication modules for either EIA-232 (RS-232), EIA-485
(RS-485), dial-up modem
▪ 6 Input/Output (I/O) termination points
▪ Local Operator Interface (LOI) cable
▪ Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with two-line alpha-numeric viewing
▪ Solar panel mast assembly
▪ Blank plate for the FB103 for use when no DVS is required
Plug-in communication modules allow you to customize the FB100
installation for most communication requirements. Optional
communication cards provide the ability to send and receive data.
The housing accommodates one of the following modules:
▪ EIA-232 (RS-232) or EIA-485 (RS-485) for asynchronous serial
communications
▪ Dial-up modem for communications over a telephone network
The optional Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) enables you to view data
and configuration parameters while on site without using the local
operator interface (LOI) and a PC. The LCD display plugs into the
battery charger board and is visible through the window on the front of
the FB100-Series. The LCD can be rotated 90° in either direction.
The LCD's 2-line display shows one line for a value and the other line
for a 5-character alphanumeric description of the value. The display
operates from the internal 3.3 Volt supply. Through this display, you
can view predetermined information stored in the FB100. You can
define up to 16 items for display. Every three seconds the display
automatically cycles through the configured list of items.
You can install an external solar panel to recharge the backup batteries.
The panel connects to the CHG+ / CHG- inputs on the termination
board. An integral solar panel (2 W or 5 W, available from Remote
Automation Solutions) connects directly to the battery charger board
assembly. Circuitry on the battery charger board monitors and regulates
the charge based on battery voltage, charging voltage, and temperature.
The FB100-Series requires a minimum 8-volt 200 mA solar panel.
The optional input/output (I/O) termination points provide additional
inputs and outputs for expanded monitoring and control applications.
I/O includes analog input (AI), analog output (AO), discrete input (DI),
discrete output (DO), and pulse input (PI). The DO circuitry is optically
coupled to help isolate the processor board from the output device. I/O
can be used to drive a sampler or odorizer, open a valve, or monitor an
additional analog input.
