1. INTRODUCTION

The SV-8 series of Universal Process Indicators are high performance

instruments used for monitoring analog signals in the vast majority of industrial and
laboratory processes. Configuration from the front panel can be easily made to accept
RT (Ω), mA, voltage or mV signals.
The retransmission of input in form of standard current or voltage signal make it
even more adaptive to the process environment, the retransmitted output signal could
be further taken to PLCs or other Analog signal processing devices such as
Recorders. Two bright 4 Digit displays are Extra Alarm and RS485 MODBUS
Communication are available as option.

Applications

The product can support a wide application range to accept and display analog inputs. In
process control industry the product finds use to display process parameters from various sensors such
as Pressure, Flow, Level, Temperature etc...

2. PRESENTATION

Features

1. Input signals mA, V, mV and RT (Ω) programmable from the front panel.
2. 2 relay alarm output free setting capacity AC 250V/3A or DC 30V/3A.
3. 4~20 mA DC Retransmission output.
4. Auxiliary output power supply 24V/12V DC max 30mA.
5. With RS-485 communication.
6. Accuracy: 0.2% FS.
