MODEL: 18JPA–[1]66–R

ORDERING INFORMATION

• Code number: 18JPA-[1]66-R
Specify a code from below for [1].
  (e.g. 18JPA-266-R)
• Frequency range (e.g. 0 – 152.3 Hz)
• Linearization data (max. 16 points)
Use Ordering Information Sheet (No. ESU-1673) to specify linearization data when the I/O signals are non-linear.
Note: Consult factory on applications with a sensor handling periodically (& quickly) changing frequency (e.g. oval flowmeter).
