PRO-PRC
Quad Process Controller
This quad channel process controller is
ideal for numerous industrial applica-
tions with 0-20mA or 4-20mA DC in-
puts. It can be used either on its own, or
inconjunction with another instrument
(such as a transmitter).
One of the key features of this control-
ler is its ability to average the inputs
across 2, 3 or 4 input channels, and use
this averaged value for a display source
or for setpoint activation.
There is also the option to log your data
and store it in the controller's internal
memory, where it can be printed or re-
trieved in Excel-compatible format for
easy analysis.
