A. DESCRIPTION: 

The Model CR-103 Averaging Relays are proportioning units 
designed for use in industrial pneumatic control systems 
where the application requires averaging 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 
input pressure signals to obtain one output pressure signal. 
 
For example:  Where two or more transmitters (or controllers) 
are measuring a common variable, the output pressures of the 
transmitters (or controllers) can be averaged according to the 
equation: 
 

Output pressure           
of Averaging Relay 

 
 
Unused ports must be left open to atmospheric pressure.
