• Constant voltage excitation allows use with pots with total resistances from 100 Ω – 10 kΩ without affecting accuracy
• Energized or de-energized coil at a tripped condition selectable
• Rotary switch setpoint adjustments
• Enclosed relays
• Relays can be powered 110 V DC
• High-density mounting
Typical Applications
• Annunciator
• Various alarm applications
