The wireless devices are designed for demanding industrial applications indoors and harsh outdoor environments. The electronics are protected in a rugged weatherproof NEMA 4 (IP65)-rated housing and are simple to set up using a standard USB cable in conjunction with free SYNC configuration software. A wide variety of compatible probes and sensors mate quickly and easily with robust M12 connectors. The XW series provides options for compatibility with both digital and analog sensor types. The XW-ED accepts a wide variety of smart digital probes and accommodates pulse and process inputs. The XW-EDA model supports a wide range of thermocouples, RTDs, and precision process inputs. “Pro” versions feature two additional configurable discrete inputs/outputs, which enable true edge control capability. — Omega Engineering, Norwalk, Conn.
