Duplex
Certain systems require that a single process output con-
trol both heating and cooling outputs. A Series F4P con-
troller with a process output in output 1A (F4P _ - F _ A
A - _ _ _ _) can function as two separate outputs.
With a 4 to 20mA output the heating output, for in-
stance, will operate from 12 to 20mA (0 to +100%) and
the cooling outputs will operate from 12 to 4mA (0 to -
100%). In some cases this type of output is required by
the device that the Series F4P controls, such as a three-
way valve that opens one way with a 12 to 20mA signal
and opens the other way with a 4 to 12mA signal. This
feature reduces the overall system cost by using a single
output to act as two outputs.
