Remote Display

All CT Series units can use a Remote Display
(purchased separately) for the user to interface with
the unit for setup and configuration.

The Remote Display can be useful for making
adjustments if the unit is mounted in a hard to reach
location, as well as an interface to make adjustments
and monitor operation during testing. The Remote
Display is also available with Bluetooth®

for

wireless use with compatible CT Series units.
