sensor. The instrument is suitable for carrier rail,
panel and surface mounting.
Functional principle

ment can power connected sensors and pro-
cess their measurement signals. The requested
measured variable is shown on the display and
also outputted to the integrated current output
for further processing. The measurement signal
can thus be transferred to a remote indication or
a superordinate control system. Two level relays
for control of pumps or other devices are also
integrated.
