Automation is provided on underground units through the Distribution automation relay and for overhead applications with the Radio Faulted Circuit Indicator. (RFCI). The RFCI mounted on an overhead circuit sends a radio signal to a receiver which is connected to your SCADA.

• Transmitter Integral to FCI
• Low Battery Remote Reporting
• Communication Flexibility

Radio Type FCI’s are used as remote indicators to
report fault status to a central location via SCADA
or Cellular Networks. FCI Transmitters are installed on
overhead lines. When fault current is detected the FCI
transmits a signal to the local FCI receiver located nearby.
The received signal initiates a network broadcast reporting
fault overcurrent detection at the installed site. FCI Navigator Radio Type FCI’s can be configured in a
variety of ways to address phase reporting or three way
group circuit reporting.

UG Fault Indicator
Distribution Automation Relay

• UG SCADA fault reporting
• RTU Interface
• Low Power Consumption
• Economical

The Distribution Automation Relay is designed to
provide a 100 ms pulse or latched contact output to
a remote terminal unit (RTU) on a SCADA system
when an underground LED type FCI is flashing. The
light is transmitted from the FCI to the D/A relay
assembly via a fiber optic cable ( up to 30 feet)
which enables the relay for indication to the RTU.
When the FCI resets the D/A relay changes status
to indicate no fault. This reliable solid state compact
design can be added to existing systems
economically at any time.
