The Flomatic FDHC-100 is a high performance
Digital positioner intended to control AC actuators,
providing 450 points of resolution with quarter turn
actuators ranging from 2 sec to 120 sec and rated for
25% duty or more. The FDHC-100 has many automatic
advanced features that will enhance any actuator while
making it easy to install and set up.
The simple three button control is used to configure all
parameters the unit needs for a wide variety of
applications, and allows the
open
and
closed
positions
to be easily set for direct or reversing acting without
any rewiring. The unit can be configured for various
command types (4-20mA, 1-5V, 0-5V, 0-10V, or a
digital command) and its default operation upon loss of
command.
Various option modules are easily plugged into the unit,
providing other features such as a position feedback
signal (current or voltage), auxiliary switches, fault relay
contact, or digital communications. A wide range of data is accessible through a digital communications
module, providing additional control or information.
The unit is of single solid construction and is easily mounted with two screws. The FDHC-100 is
interchangeable with the AMC and LRC standard size controllers, and can be used to upgrade
performance for those applications.
FEATURES
•
Positions to ±0.1° with quarter-turn actuators ranging from 2 sec to 120 sec (with or without a
brake).
•
Adaptive Control feature continuously adjusts for load and actuator conditions and eliminates
calibration procedures and auto-cal operations.
•
Three button control provides easy setup and eliminates the need for instrumentation.
•
Polarity Detection feature allows direct or reverse acting operation without re-wiring.
•
Electronic Brake feature can eliminate need for a mechanical brake in many applications, and
extends mechanical brake life when used.
•
Stall Detection feature protects actuator motor from a stall condition.
•
Automatic Duty Cycle Control feature prevents shutdown of a process due to a thermal overload of
the actuator motor, and allows actuators rated for 25% duty or more to be safely used.
•
Operating temperature range of 0 to 60°C
