The all-new DP41-B raises the bar even higher with accuracy of up to +/-0.005% of reading, and up to 166 readings per second.

The versatile Omega DP41-B handles a broad spectrum of DC voltage and current ranges, nine thermocouple types, multiple RTDs, and signals from strain gauge transducers such as load cells and pressure transducers, as well as potentiometric inputs.

It also features ten point linearisation of input signals, programmable by the user for custom applications.

Built-in excitation to power virtually any sensor or transmitter, and four isolated open-collector outputs for control or alarms are standard.

The big, bright, six-digit patented LED display can be programmed to change colour between red, amber and green at any set point.

The digits are 58% bigger than the typical display.

Output options include: isolated programmable analogue voltage or current and four relays.

With the serial communications option, the user can select from a pushbutton menu between RS232, RS485 and either a straightforward ASCII protocol or Modbus.

With Omega's award-winning Ethernet/Internet option, the new DP41-B connects directly to an Ethernet network and transmits data in standard TCP/IP.

It is possible to monitor and control a process through a web browser from anywhere on the Internet.
