Process Indicators provide clear, accurate display of critical process variables in industrial automation and control. Charter Controls supplies a focused range from GIC and Orbit Merret, covering temperature, pressure, level, flow and electrical parameters. Models are available in popular panel sizes with bright LED/LCD readouts, universal inputs and optional alarm/communication modules for seamless integration with PLC, SCADA and BMS systems.
🔧 Technical Highlights:
- Inputs: universal analogue (4–20 mA, 0–10 V, 0–20 mA), thermocouples (J, K, T, R, S, etc.), RTD Pt100/Pt1000, pulse/frequency on selected models
- Display: high-visibility 4–6 digit LED or backlit LCD with engineering units and scaling
- Outputs & alarms: up to 2–4 relay/SSR alarms, analogue retransmission (4–20 mA/0–10 V) and transmitter supply (24 V DC) on selected versions
- Communications: RS-485 Modbus RTU for networked monitoring (model dependent)
- Form factors: panel-mount 48×48 mm, 48×96 mm, 72×72 mm, 96×48 mm and 96×96 mm; DIN-rail options on select ranges
- Accuracy & speed: high measurement accuracy with fast sample/update rates
- Power supply: 100–240 V AC or 24 V DC aux supply (range dependent)
- Protection: robust industrial design with IP-rated front panels and EMC immunity
- Compliance: CE and RoHS; designed for continuous industrial duty
✅ Benefits:
- Immediate visualisation of key process values for operators and maintenance teams
