This quad channel process controller is 

ideal for numerous industrial applica-

tions with 0–20mA or 4–20mA DC in-

puts. It can be used either on its own, or 

inconjunction with another instrument 

(such as a transmitter).

One of the key features of this control-

ler is its ability to average the inputs 

across 2, 3 or 4 input channels, and use 

this averaged value for a display source 

or for setpoint activation.

There is also the option to log your data 

and store it in the controller's internal 

memory, where it can be printed or re-

trieved in Excel-compatible format for 

easy analysis.
