Why use remote indicators?

Sometimes inspecting field instrument readings is made more difficult and even unsafe when the field device is in places that are difficult to reach (e.g., height or space) or possibly in a hazardous area where there is risk of high voltage or exposure to potential toxic/explosive atmosphere. Remote field indicators deliver a measurement from a data capture device, such as a temperature gauge or flowmeter, to a position more accessible, and safer, for an inspecting operator.

Download this white paper to get the full picture of the need for remote indicators, example solutions, power requirements and a rundown of the typical products to consider.
