DATA SHEET:
The LCU032 Series temperature/process controls The LCU032 offers universal input (13 thermocouple scales, 2 RTD types,
voltage, and current), universal single set point with alarm, or heat / cool
output. Standard features include Fuzzy Logic and Self-tune. Process protection
is provided by open sensor protection and shorted sensor protection. The LCU032 can be used as an indicator and the proportional current output
programmed as a process retransmission output. For the cost of a panel
meter alone, you can have a panel meter with process retransmission, or a full
blown PID process control The LCU032 family of controls offers the greatest value with high levels of features,
function, and quality available today.
