Dukane Patented MPC Multi-Probe Control-2

MPC Configurations Connect up to 16 Probes Some of the patented features include: • Fully protected from improper programming and power line irregularities. • Binary coded selection inputs prevents selection of 2 probe relays. • Logic interlocks prevent selection changes when ultrasound is on. • Ring-down monitor allows relay switching only when voltage is off. • Fault monitor detects a shorted relay coil driver and halts operation. • Hold-up time of internal supplies - designed to ride-out any line problem. Eliminate equipment failures due to improper machine programming. Dukane’s Multi-point...
