Features:
- 36-inch panel-mounted IOTA carrier
- 24 VDC supply rail rated up to 40 A
- Thirty-two M5 grounding positions along the carrier
FC-MCAR-02 provides the mechanical base that aligns multiple Safety Manager IOTA positions across a control-panel installation.
The carrier also distributes the 24 VDC supply path and protective-ground connection points needed by the mounted hardware.
Its panel-mounted construction requires full-length enclosure support and deliberate cable routing rather than DIN-rail placement.
The Honeywell FC-MCAR-02 36-inch Panel-Mounted IOTA Carrier is listed as Active / Available from OEM. FC-MCAR-02 quotation requests and available Honeywell manufacturer documentation can be reviewed through Apter Power.

What the FC-MCAR-02 Combines on One Base
- Mechanical frame: The 36-inch carrier combines a cable-carrier assembly, metal profile, and two plastic cover plates.
- Ground distribution: Its ground rail provides 32 screw positions for the mounted IOTA assemblies.
- Power distribution: Separate +24 V and 0 V rails provide the common supply path along the carrier.
- Surface mounting: Four mounting holes secure the carrier to a flat, rigid installation surface.
Securing Two IOTA-R24 Assemblies
- Carrier capacity: One FC-MCAR-02 is arranged to carry two IOTA-R24 assemblies.
- Ground fastening: Each IOTA-R24 is secured through ten ground-screw positions on the carrier.
- Power fastening: Two additional connections bring 24 V and COM from the carrier rails to each assembly.
- Replacement control: Record the installed position and field-cable mapping before removal so the two assemblies are not interchanged.
Arranging IOTA-NR24 Units on FC-MCAR-02
- Supported count: The carrier can accommodate up to three IOTA-NR24 units.
- Ground points: Each IOTA-NR24 uses eight ground-screw positions on the carrier ground rail.
- Power points: Two power connections per unit link 24 V and COM to the shared rails.
- Population check: Confirm unit count, spacing, and cable routing before adding or replacing an IOTA-NR24.
Extending Power Between FC-MCAR-02 Carriers
- Adjacent carriers: The power rails of two FC-MCAR-02 carriers can be coupled to extend the distribution path.
- Coupling hardware: The documented connection uses two M5 screws through the 5 mm rail holes.
- Polarity control: Keep +24 V and 0 V rails correctly paired and verify continuity before energizing the connected carriers.
- Grounding boundary: Power-rail coupling does not replace the protective grounding connections required for each carrier and mounted assembly.
