MILLOVOLT OR MILLIAMP INSTRUMENT SPECIFICATION SHEET INSTRUCTIONS

Prefix number designates line number on corresponding specification sheet.
1. To be used for single item. Use secondary sheet for multiple listing.
2. Check as many as apply.
3. Check one. Note that sheet may be used to specify galvanometric type of
instrument.
4. Nominal size refers to approximate front of case dimensions: width x height.
5. It is assumed that the instrument has its own case or shelf suitable for single
mounting unless multicase is checked. Shelf or separable case for multiple
case mounting instrument is not included in this sheet unless listed as an
accesory.
6. Enclosure Class refers to composite instrument. If electrical contacts are in the
case, they meet this rating inherently or by reason of the enclosure. Use NEMA
identification system or ISA system presented in RP8.1.
7. Specify electrical power to entire instrument.
8. For multiple instrument list ranges on second sheet, but specify other items
here.
9. Ranges 1 and 2 refer to multichannel instruments. The first listed is assumed
to be the controller input (if any).
10. For multiple items list number of point on second sheet. Point Select permits
bypassing any or all points by a switching mechanism.
11. For multiple items show number of switches on second sheet under No. of
Point.
12. Specify if applicable.
13. See explanation of terminology given on spec. sheet. Specific ranges of control
modes can be listed under other if required.
14. For multiple items specify on second sheet.
15. If standard automanual swithching is not known or not adequate, specify
particular requirements, such as BUMPLESS, PROCEDURELESS,
4POSITION, or as required.
16. Remote set point adjustement assumes full adjustment range. Specify limits
if required.
19. Check if thermocouple input applies.

20. Specify any input other than thermocouple. Calibration refers to curve used
and does not imply that element is specifically calibrated for this instrument.
21. Form may be SPST, SPDT, DPDT, etc. Rating is electrical rating of switch in
amps.
22. Check if alarm is actuated by measured variable or by deviation from controller
set point. Give contact action if single throw form. Specify calibrated or blind
alarm index setter.
25. Accesories for multiple items may be covered by notes second sheet.
26. May be filled in after selection is made.
SECONDARY SHEET for listing multiple instruments. List all instruments of the
same type, specified on Primary Sheet, with variations as shown. Notes refers
to notes listed by number at the bottom of the sheet. Or use secondary Sheet to
list and identify the multiple points of a single multipoint instrument.
