Both devices feature the same state-ofthe-art technology, uncompromising accuracy, and quality backed by an extended 5-year warranty. The CNi8DH and CNi8DV are simple to configure and use, while providing tremendous versatility and a wealth of powerful features. The CNi8DH and CNi8DV come standard with your choice of 2 control or alarm outputs in almost any combination: solid state relays rated at 0.5 A @ 120/240 Vac; Form “C” SPDT relays rated at 3 A @ 120/240 Vac; pulsed 10 Vdc output for use with an external SSR; or analog output (0 to 10 Vdc or 0 to 20 mA) selectable for control or retransmission of the process value. **CNi8DH33, shown smaller than actual size.** **CNiS8DV33, shown smaller than actual size.** The universal temperature and process instrument (CNi8 models) offer a selection of 10 thermocouple types as well as 2-, 3- or 4-wire RTDs, process voltage and current. The CNi8DH and CNi8DV are ideal controllers for use with transmitters and amplified transducers. Built-in excitation is standard (24 Vdc @ 25 mA). The units handle 0 to 20 mA process current and process voltage in 3 scales: 0 to 100 mV, 0 to 1V, and 0 to 10V. straightforward ASCII protocol. The C4EIT option includes Ethernet and RS485 ASCII on 1 device. The iSeries, with the network options, are designed for easy integration with popular industrial automation and control programs as well as Microsoft Visual Basic[®] and Excel[®] . OMEGA provides free configuration software which makes it fast and easy to get up and running with many applications. Available for download off the Internet. As with all iSeries devices, the process value display can be programmed to change color between **GREEN, AMBER,** and **RED** at any setpoint or alarm point. The LEDs displaying the process value on the CNi8DH (horizontal[1] ⁄8 DIN) are the largest digits of any[1] ⁄8 DIN controller. i **TM** change color **at any setpoint** The strain/process instrument (model iS) meters and controllers measure inputs from load cells, pressure transducers, and most any strain gage sensor. Input ranges include 0 to 100 mVdc; -100 mVdc to 1 Vdc; 0 to 10 Vdc in addition to 0 to 20 mA. Excitation for transducers of 5 V and 10 V is standard. The highly recommended networking and communications options include direct Ethernet LAN connectivity with an embedded Web server, and serial communications. The C24 serial communications option includes both RS232 and RS485 which can be selected from the menu as well as both a **==> picture [80 x 67] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
