Process indicator offers two in one
A high performance dual-channel process indicator/alarm controller can measure and display two process variables simultaneously.
The model u500PT is a high performance dual-channel process indicator/alarm controller, which can measure and display two process variables simultaneously A typical application, is to use this instrument with a Terwin 2000 series extrusion pressure/temperature transducer which incorporates an integral thermocouple

Pressure transducers take care of temperature
The Terwin 2000 series pressure/temperature transducers have been designed to meet the most exacting requirements in modern day extrusion technology.
Channel 1 can be configured for process or temperature inputs and the second channel for strain gauge applications.
When used with extrusion melt pressure transducers that employ six-wire 80% negative shunt calibration, the u500PT provides a simple automatic self-calibration feature for both zero and 80% of the applicable pressure range.
The u500PT is provided with two alarm relays as standard and these may be directed to channels one or two as required.
Both relays may be configured as low or high with direct or inverse action and two LED indicators provide relay status.
Additionally, delays in the relays action may be introduced (up to 20s) and the relays may be latched with manual reset through the front key pads.
Optional outputs include Modbus/RTU RS485 serial communications and user configurable analogue outputs of 0-5V, 0-10V, 0-20mA or 4-20mA DC.
Also, an optional 24V DC output is available for use with transmitters.
This instrument has CE certification for safety, EMI susceptibility, EMI emissions, harmonics and voltage fluctuations.
