OverviewThe Uniphos KwikSense RD duplicates the transmitter display to a remote location, allowing viewing and local control when the primary gas transmitter is difficult to access. It can operate as a controller and/or as a bridge between detector and controller.
It provides RS-485 MODBUS-RTU and 4-20 mA outputs for connection to controllers and detectors. All settings are configurable via the supplied non-intrusive magnetic wand. The unit holds international certifications including ATEX, IECEx, SIL2 and InMetro.
