ICS Triplex T8842 Trusted Versatile FTA

The Trusted® Versatile Field Termination Assembly (VFTA) T8842 serves as the primary interface between field devices related to fire and gas hazard detection and suppression and the Trusted Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) Zone Interface Module T8448. It also acts as the interface for the Trusted TMR Valve Monitor Module T8449, facilitating the alternation of digital outputs to solenoid valves with valve position analogue inputs.

Each channel of the VFTA is configurable, accommodating various field devices, including those generating both analogue and digital input signals, as well as output devices requiring a digital signal of up to 28 Vdc.

Features

• 40 channels per VFTA, each configurable as inputs or outputs.
• Industrial standard field device connections (2 or 3 wire).
• Standard DIN rail compatibility.
• Easy installation and connection.
• Simple configuration using plug-in fuses and built-in resistors.
• Operating voltage range of 18 Vdc to 28 Vdc.
• Field power supply organized in five groups of eight channels.
• Option to supply power from a controllable output for each group.
• Fused field power supply per channel.
