Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
The 16 digital inputs and 9 outputs enable sophisticated protection logic and targeted trips, reducing nuisance alarms and protecting critical loads; the business impact is improved protection fidelity and lower maintenance costs in generator installations used for standby or prime power applications. A wide power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, operating at 50/60 Hz, provides compatibility across diverse plant electrical environments, simplifying sourcing and reducing panel redesigns during upgrades. The Modbus/RTU over RS-485 interface enables straightforward SCADA integration, supporting remote diagnostics and enhanced event recording to improve asset visibility. Ethernet RJ-45 support and the optional IRIG-B time synchronization enable unified monitoring across distributed systems, streamlining operator workflows and reducing mean time to repair. Removable terminals and projection mounting accelerate installation, training, and field servicing, delivering faster commissioning and easier retrofits in existing panels. Conformal coated circuit boards improve reliability in harsh environments, minimizing corrosion risks and extending product life in challenging industrial settings.
