PC-Programmable Frequency

Transmitter and Display

The FDY

This is the user’s manual for the Moore Industries’ FDY 
PC-Programmable Frequency Transmitter and 
Display.  Incredibly versatile, the FDY programs in less 
than a minute to accept varying frequency signals from 
AC or DC fl ow measurement devices such as 
turbine meters and magnetic pick-up coils. 

The FDY monitors the signal, outputting the selected 
variable (frequency, period, high pulse width, low pulse 
width or contact closure) both to its display and to a
4-20mA signal that is linear and input-scaleable.  The 
FDY features a large integral display that shows 
real-time process status.
