Frequently Asked Questions
How many RTD inputs can this equipment accommodate?
It supports up to sixteen inputs, arranged in two groups of eight inputs.
What is the maximum distance for termination wiring?
The maximum allowable cable length—from the termination panel to the Mux—is 50 feet.
How is redundancy and fault tolerance achieved?
Fault tolerance can be established by using three input modules and three multiplexers, allowing replacement without signal interruption.
What are the normal operational temperature ranges?
Normal operation is rated from -200° to +800° C. The over-range extends to +883° C.
