Overview
The Intelligent Controls Incon 1270-R-E-S is a solid-state programmable position monitor engineered for accurate position sensing and indication in industrial automation and utility applications. This versatile instrument converts synchro transmitter signals into precise position data, making it suitable for load tap changer (LTC) monitoring, rotary position measurement, and custom position-to-display applications where non-linear scaling is required.
Key Features
- Solid-state design for reliable, long-service performance in industrial environments
- Programmable non-linear conversion tables for custom position applications
- Synchro transmitter input compatibility for absolute position sensing
- Local display with optional remote indication capability
- Configurable alarms and status outputs for process control integration
- Compact panel-mount form factor suitable for retrofit installations
