The main display uses organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology and the status bar uses light emitting
diodes (LED). It also has a galvanically separated 4-20 mA current loop, Modbus (serial communication
protocol) and two configurable switched contacts.
For protection in explosive areas the FALCO’s Main Unit electronics are fitted in a
n ExD enclosure and the PID
Sensor Head utilises intrinsically safe electronics.
The FALCO has two modules:
•
The
Main Unit
(flameproof enclosure)
•
The
PID Sensor Head
(intrinsically safe)
The externally located intrinsically safe PID Sensor Head allows servicing and calibration in a hazardous
environment without having to isolate the power supply.
