MX16 single line gas controller (one 4-20 mA or RS485 input)

MX16 controller - single line

The successor to the very popular MX15 controller, the MX16 single channel gas controller from Teledyne Oldham Simtronics is ideally suited for small applications: laboratories, hospitals, small boiler rooms, small car parks, charging rooms, breweries, etc. .

Two types of transmitters can be connected to this gas controller unit:

• either analog transmitters such as the OLCT10, CTX300, OLCT100, any other 4-20 mA transmitter on the market
• or digital transmitters like the OLCT10N series.

The MX16 gas controller has as standard the events’ history recording function (alarms, faults, etc.). As an option, an RS485 Modbus communication card is available for connection with a PLC supervision.
