Features Detail XLite Ordering

 Unparalleled Sensor Support 9210-0000-2B XLite, basic
XLite provides unparalleled sensor support through expansive I/O 9210-SL2-2B XLite with SatLink
capabilities & built-in program libraries. Xlite supports a wide variety
9210-0000-3B XLite with 4 additional ports
of measurement types: single voltage, differential voltage, resistance,
4-20mA, frequency, counter, binary, binary alarm, grey-code binary, smart 9210-ENC-B XLite within rugged enclosure
serial (RS-232 and RS-485), SDI-12,etc. 9210-SL2-ENC-B XLite & SatLink within enclosure
