CONFIGURE INPUTS MENU
The FCO770 has 12 electrical inputs as standard. There is a purchase option to increase this
to 24 inputs. The inputs are programmable in banks of four. The first four inputs default to
basic remote control functions but may be reprogrammed as required.
START/RESET
• Options:
o Front Panel: The front panel start/reset buttons are enabled and the external
start/reset inputs are disabled. Start and Reset signals may also be provided by
Fbus Communications or a barcode reader.
o Remote Control: The front panel start and reset buttons are disabled and external
start/reset inputs must be used. The default configuration assigns inputs 1-4 for
basic functions, using input 1 for reset and input 2 for start. Start and Reset signals
may also be provided by Fbus Communications or a barcode reader.
o Disabled: Start or Reset is not allowed from the front panel buttons or the remote
control inputs. Start and Reset signals can only be provided by Fbus
Communications or a barcode reader.
o Both: The front panel start/reset buttons are enabled at the same time as the
remote control start/reset inputs. Start and Reset signals may also be provided by
Fbus Communications or a barcode reader.
VENT SENSOR
• When a vent valve with a position sensor is used, the FCO770 can monitor the sensor
to ensure that the valve has operated before running a test.
• Options:
o No: The sensor is not monitored.
o Yes: When the vent output is activated the instrument will wait for an external
signal. If a signal is not received within 0.4s a fault is reported. The default
configuration assigns inputs 1-4 for basic functions, using input 4 for the vent
sensor.
JIG SENSOR
• The FCO770 can monitor a switch (or other sensor) that is incorporated into a jig
clamp to only allow the test item to be pressurised when the jig is closed.
• Options:
o No: The jig sensor is not monitored.
o Yes. After the FCO770 activates the jig output it will wait for a signal before
continuing. The default configuration assigns inputs 1-4 for basic functions, using
input 3 for the jig sensor.
JIG DELAY
• After the jig pilot is operated there is a programmable time delay before the test starts
to allow jig mechanisms to actuate. If the jig sensor is used then the delay starts after
the contact is sensed.
• Options: Number from 0.00 to 9.99 seconds.
