Assisting the automation industry since 1986 User manual METER SRP-N118 Firmware: up to v. 5.22 • Input type: 0/4-20 mA, 0/1-5V, 0/2-10V • Wall mounting case IP 65 • Read the user's manual carefully before starting to use the unit or software.
User manual - METER SRP-N118 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.
To allow user to change presets without opening the cover, an IR sensor is mounted. Remote controller keyboard is equivalent to the device keyboard (Note, that remote controller is not a part of the SRP-N118 set – it is an additional equipment).
