FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS CONFIGURABILITY The DMC3S multifunctional panel features a modular construction with removable boards. The panel can be customised for a variety of types of riser; the type of riser can be selected in the Set \ Base menu. The firmware selected on the panel defines the measured values of amperometric channel C2, while the measurements on voltmetric channel V4 must be selected from UE and V2 in the Set \ Base menu.
The electrical specifications (auxiliary power, specifications of digital inputs and output relays) are identical to those of the I/O circuits on board the panel. Connection to the DMC3S panel is via fibre optics with LC connectors. One or two DMRIS0 modules can be connected.
