S.T.A.R. Delayed Reset Overhead (SDOH) faulted circuit indicators (FCI) are designed to quickly and easily locate faults on bare overhead cable systems. The FCI is designed as a “one-size-fits-all” device for ease of application and stocking. The SDOH is capable of self-adjusting trip rating based on average load current and easily programmable to any one of four delay reset times.

This unit is fully electronic, powered by a long life, Lithium Ion battery that provides the power to indicate the faulted conditions via dual high intensity LEDs. A patented clamping mechanism makes it easy to install on a wide range of cable diameters. Installation can be achieved with a single hotstick.
