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.
