Overview

FC100 Fiber Optic Converter

The FC100 is typically used with the SG000 Strike Guard Lightning Detector as part of the CS110 and LW110 lightning warning systems. The SG000 outputs its data signal via fiber-optic cable, and the FC100 is installed at the end of the fiber-optic cable and before the data logger. The FC100 converts a fiber-optic data signal into an RS-232 signal for a lightning-proof connection between the sensor and the data logger.

The FC100 can also be used as an RS-232 link between two serial devices (data logger to PC) separated by less than 100 m (328 ft). The FC100 is a DCE device so a null modem cable will be needed between it and a data logger.

Key Advantages

Lightning Protection
Long-term, trouble-free protection for your data logger
