Applications

Electric Heating Elements

— Instant indication of heater status.

Power Supplies

— Signals over-current before equipment fails.

Machine Operation

— Instant status of motors, lamps and other loads.

Telecom Sites

— Monitors battery output.

Features

Compact, One-piece Design

— Fits in easily amongst motor starters and power supplies in crowded control panels.

Input Isolation

— Safer than shunt/relay combinations.

Output Installation

— Isolated output greatly simplifies wiring.

Tough

— Designed to handle harsh industrial environments.

Adaptive Hysteresis

— Hysteresis is 5% of setpoint, allowing closer control than fixed hysteresis switches.

Reliable

— Solid state design.

Built-in Mounting Feet

— Simple, two-screw installation allows for secure mounting.
