Franklin 1250B-0 INCON Position Monitor (0-1 mA)
The Franklin Electric INCON® 1250B-0 Programmable Position Monitor is a specialized instrument engineered to provide highly accurate measurements of absolute local and remote transformer load tap changer (LTC) positions. Designed for seamless integration with synchro transmitters, this unit allows grid operators and facility engineers to balance transformer loads, precisely regulate line voltage, and optimize power consumption. Beyond standard transformer applications, its capacity to convert rotational position into a non-linear indication makes it highly effective for specialized tasks such as hydro dam gate position monitoring.
Key Interfaces and Programming
This monitor is equipped with a distinct 0-1 mA analog output and features a highly visible 5-digit LED display for real-time local monitoring. It efficiently supports up to 100 user-definable position segments and communicates using industry-standard ASCII or MODBUS protocols. Configuration is flexible, offering three distinct programming methodologies to suit different field requirements:
- Numeric menu programming
- Alphanumeric menu programming
- Serial port programming commands
Physical and Mounting Specifications
The 1250B-0 utilizes a compact panel-mount case designed to securely snap-fit into a standard 1/8 DIN rectangular cut-out (44mm). For electrical integration, the device can be wired directly to a synchro transmitter or wired in parallel alongside existing synchro transmitter and receiver pairs, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of legacy and modern infrastructure.
