Assisting the automation industry since 1986 User manual METER SRP-73 Firmware: v.5.21 or higher • Input type: 0/4-20 mA, 0/1-5V, 0/2-10V • Two-colour display • Read the user's manual carefully before starting to use the unit or software. Producer reserves the right to implement changes without prior notice.
User manual - METER SRP-73 Explanation of symbols used in the manual: - This symbol denotes especially important guidelines concerning the installation and operation of the device. Not complying with the guidelines denoted by this symbol may cause an accident, damage or equipment destruction.
The selection of active input is realised by software, and selected input can be changed at any time. Additionally the SRP-73 allows user to select a conversion characteristic of several kinds: linear, square, square root, user defined (max.20 points length) and volume characteristics of a cylindrical tank in the vertical and horizontal position.
