32-channel temperature scanner

October 2016 Temperature Measurement

The Sensor Connection a division of Harold G. Schaevitz Industries, has expanded its line of measurement and control instrumentation with the addition of the model PMD-MXT series of temperature scanner indicators. This 32-channel microprocessor-based device provides continuous monitoring of up to 32 channels of thermocouple or RTD sensors. The large LED display is easy to read, even at a distance and rows of LED annunciators warn of specific channel alarm conditions. The scanner has 2 selectable HI/LO, HI/HI, or LO/LO alarm setpoints, configured through the front panel push buttons. During an alarm condition a front panel LED annunciator is enabled and an internal relay contact output is engaged. The scanner’s display will auto cycle through all input channels at a user determined rate of 0,5 to 10 seconds per channel. Other features include:

• Temperature units field selectable for °C or °F.

• Auto or manual scanning.

• Adjustable auto scan rate.

• Limit alarm trip points adjustable per channel.

• Powered by 20 to 28 VDC.
