the added capability of supporting the Batch Module for
batching control. The extra large (3.90” x 3.90”) auto- • Optional H COMM module for two-way
sensing backlit display features “at-a-glance” visibility communication
that can be viewed at 4-5 times the distance over
traditional transmitters. The highly illuminated display • Optional Batch Module for Batch Control
and large characters reduce the risk of misreading
or misinterpreting the displayed values. The display
shows separate lines for units, main and secondary MEASURING EQUIPMENT

measurements as well as a “dial-type” digital bar graph.

Dry-contact relays are electromechanical switches with
a moving contact armature. They are suitable for many
general purpose applications, AC or DC, including loads
up to 250 V. Install RC Filter kits (3-8050.396) on relays
used to switch motor or inductive loads.
