Three physical sizes
The standard FTAs have three physical sizes as illustrated in the following figure. The Galvanically
Isolated FTAs are one size only, B-size.

The HLAI/STI FTA accepts high level analog inputs. Some FTA models also
interface with Smart Transmitter devices. All inputs are isolated from ground and
each other.
The 24 Vdc DI FTA accepts contact inputs. All inputs are isolated from each
other.
The AO FTA provides isolated 4-20 mA outputs to proportioning loads such as
valves.
Provides 4-20 mA outputs, and incorporates circuitry to allow HART field devices
to be connected to the FTA without using external filters. These FTAs also
provide a connector for an external HART multiplexer.
The 24 Vdc DO FTA provides isolated digital outputs to loads such as solenoid
valves or lamps.
