Category:

Simple to Use

  • All the day-to-day operations can be completed via push buttons on the front panel – removing the requirement for hot-work permits to complete everyday tasks
  • Fault and alarm LEDs on the front panel – providing instant indication of system status
  • Alarm and channel settings can be adjusted at the panel

 Highly flexibile

  • Available in two sizes, including a compact format – for use in areas where space is a limiting factor
  • Uses Vortex PC software – customisation is easy and user-friendly
  • Uses industry standard Modbus RTU (or optionally Profibus) communications links – simple to integrate with PLC, DCS or SCADA control systems

Robust and Reliable

  • Water and dust resistant to IP66
  • All relays are monitored continuously – ensuring full functionality
