WATLOW Series 945 High/Low Limit User's Manual

General Description

Welcome to the Series 945, a 1/4 DIN microprocessor-based, audible alarm,
dual alarm relay, single input, high-low limit control. The 945 accepts a Type J,
K, T, N, C or Platinel 2 thermocouple, RTD, or process input.

The upper display provides process temperature information while the lower
display provides alarm status. Output 1 is a DC signal output used to drive an
external audible alarm. Output 2 and 3 are alarm relays that de-energize when
a limit condition exists.

Operator-friendly features include automatic LED indicators to aid in monitoring
and set-up, as well as a calibration offset at the front panel. The Series 945
automatically stores all information in a non-volatile memory.
