Interpreting the Model
Code Number
Model Code
Breakdown • The model code number can be found on a label that is attached to
the top panel of the HI 2160RC

2160RC
PLUS
). The dash alphanumeric designations indicate the
capabilities of the rate controller. For example: A model HI
2160RC-PM-A1-B1 is a Panel Mount controller with 4-20 milli-
amp control output and RS-232 to RS-422 converter. (See Fig. 1-2)
