Remote Control Interface
The STAMFORD Remote Control Interface (RCI) is used with a STAMFORD Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) or a STAMFORD Power Factor Controller (PFC3) to control the alternator voltage or power factor (respectively) remotely.
The RCI has two inputs which accept unipolar 4-20Ma or bipolar 0-10 volt signals to control alternator power factor from 0.7 lag to 0.7 lead or alternator voltage up to +/- 10%. The input circuitry is fully floating for maximum application flexibility. Loss of the control signal provides a default Unity Power Factor setting or returns the voltage to the AVR no-load setting.
The RCI allows the power factors of alternators running in parallel to be controlled automatically from a convenient remote location, to suit local site conditions.
The RCI allows the voltage of several alternators to be matched simultaneously with one signal, to allow voltage matching before paralleling.
Key features include:
- Robust and reliable solid-state electronics
- Industry standard interfaces to control equipment
- Selectable power supply from alternator output
Simple connection to the alternator.
