RS-485 port. It features a universal 80-260 Vdc/Vac power supply. The MFC-300/T-Dry shares its hardware and form factor with other Licht controllers for transformers, such as the MFC-300/R voltage regulator and the MFC-300/P parallelism controller. All signals that enter and exit the controller are pairwise galvanically isolated, preventing potentially damaging noise and transients from being transferred between sub- circuits or retransmitted to other devices.
These values may be reset with a user command. The MFC-300/T-Dry can feature up to 6 current loop outputs with a 16-bit resolution (one for each RTD measurement), and with scales configurable to 0-1, 0-5, 0-10, 0-20 or 4-20 mA.

RTD. Once the originating fault is resolved (for example, by replacing a damaged RTD), the system returns to normal operation after a 30 second delay. Rev. A1 (30–05–12) MFC-300/T-Dry Technical Manual...
In the Temperature display, the presented values are those measured by the RTDs, com- pensated for each sensor’s intrinsic nonlinearity and cable resistances. The Resistance option presents the physical RTD resistances read by the MFC-300/T-Dry in Ω, (without the cable resistances).
4 Configuration The MFC-300/T-Dry features 4 keys to access its functions. The procedure to configure any parameter is as follows: 1. Press the P key to enter the parameters menu. 2. Enter the currently configured 4 letter password one letter at a time, using the keys to select each letter and P to advance between letters.
5 Programmable parameters The MFC-300/T-Dry was developed to provide the user with the greatest possible flex- iblity, such that all supervision and configuration can be executed on-site through the keyboard or remotely via the RS-485 link. We define all user-configurable parameters as follows.
Description: Full scale for the RTD temperatures. For example, if T = 150 C and Output Scale = 4-20 mA, the displayed temperature will be 0 C for 4.0 mA and 150 C for 20.0 mA. Rev. A1 (30–05–12) MFC-300/T-Dry Technical Manual...
Options: 2 to 100 ms. Description: The DNP3 specification states that frames should not have inter-octet gaps. In accordance, the MFC-300/T-Dry never inserts inter-octet gaps when transmitting data. However, we allow the option to tolerate gaps in incoming transmissions. Frames featuring inter-octet gaps larger than the Maximum Inter-Octet Gap will be quietly dropped.
