The Altronic DSM-43924DUS temperature monitor is a universal microprocessor-based instrument designed to monitor engine, process and other critical temperatures using industry standard type J or K thermocouple probes. The device can be set for readout in either degrees C. or F. and is powered from any 12- or 24-volt source capable of supplying 10 watts. Modbus RTU communications is standard with baud rates selectable at 9,600 - 19,200 - 38,400 - 57,600. The DSM-43924DUS has four individual setpoints (two high, two low) per channel. The monitored points can also be established in two groups of a user-selectable number of points having six common group setpoints (two high, two low and two differential). This feature can be used, for example, to monitor functions such as engine cylinder exhaust and compressor cylinder temperatures. Two output switches are provided allowing the device to be used in an alarm/shutdown configuration. Fault information in order of occurrence is available on the display and via the serial port. The front panel sealed membrane keypad provides easy selection and adjustment of the units, range, setpoints and other configuration data. The DSM-43924DUS is housed in a gasketed, anodized aluminium case, making it ideal for oilfield and other demanding-environment applications.
