Controller presentation
The MX 43 is an analog and digital controller designed for the continuous measurement and control of
the gases present in the atmosphere and for 4-20 mA or digital contact signal.
Large graphic display
Front panel
Smart keys make LEDs allow
embedded menus a quick
simple to use and basic
overview of the
installation.
MX 43 manages both digital lines and analog channels, The MX 43 digital technology allows up to 32 detectors to
and covers all needs for a wide variety of applications. be distributed on 8 lines for increased cost savings.
