2400-A16 – Remote Station / Intelligent Multiplexer

 Intech Instruments - 2400 A16 Remote Station Intelligent MultiplexerThe Intech 2100-A16 station has all the friendly features of a monitoring station. The Isolated Universal Analogue Inputs are software programmable using the user-friendly MicroScan SCADA (Version 5.1 or later), or Station Programmer software.

Each input can be configured for any of the following inputs:

RTD Pt100/Pt1000, Thermocouple, mA, mV, V & Pulse/Digital. There is a convenient wide choice of spans plus Custom spans can be configured also. The accuracy does not alter when changing spans.

The analogue inputs on the 2400-A16 can be expanded up to 76 using the 2100-M Input Multiplexers.

All 2400-A16 stations come standard (Default ex-factory calibration) with:

  • All Input Channels Configured to RTD Pt100 0~100°C
