Configuration and diagnostics are simple, using the integral Plicscom programmer, or remote via PC using FDT/DTM and PACTware software, which also allows connection to set up compatible sensors remotely.
The devices are ATEX approved and have a range potential of 1.6Km.
The simple concept of Plicsradio is a result of a design based on the Vega plics platform, which has a philosophy of 'easy choose, easy use' for a low cost of ownership. Request a free brochure from Vega Controls UK ...
