Click here for the L91 brochure (1/16 DIN)
Click here for the L41 brochure (1/4 DIN)
Future Design Controls FM Approved L Series L91 1/16 DIN and L41 1/4 DIN provide temperature limit protection in process applications where FM approvals are required. With universal temperature input, up to two outputs, fast scan rates, remote reset, 3-Year Warranty, user friendly prompts and more make the L Series L91 and L41 the right choice for safety protection.
Although the L91 may be DIN Rail mounted with the DRA accessory, for non-panel mount non-indicating FM Approved High Limit refer to the Series 7L surface or DIN Rail mount high limit; Series 7L.
The L91/L41 meet the NFPA National Fire Protection Association 86.8.16.6 applicable to excess temperature limit controls when used in ovens/furnaces to display both temperature and setpoint values.
The L Series offers a full range of universal thermocouple & RTD inputs with latching output selections for mechanical Relay (form C), SSR Drive or Triac output. Consult the L Series manuals for available linear mA & VDC inputs.
Additional Limit Control Features include an optional 2nd control output configurable as latching, non-latching or alarm silence mode; configurable display decimal point, F/C, input filter factor and more. Click here to learn more about these Limit Control Features.
Optional features such as a second relay output, DC Transmitter power supply, remote reset (standard on L41), linear mA/VDC retransmission or RS485 communications offer maximum flexibility for demanding applications. Click here for more information on retransmission & communication options.
PR Paperless Recorders
