Overview

Using the Terminal Stations is straightforward and efficient. Simply use the up and down buttons to scroll through the channels and select the desired sensor to read. The VW2106 Vibrating Wire Readout (refer to the separate brochure) connects seamlessly to the Terminal Station via a fly lead, enabling quick readings from the selected sensor.
Connecting sensor cables to the Terminal Station is both quick and intuitive. The conduit fittings on the enclosure’s exterior allow cables to pass inside effortlessly, where they connect to the designated terminal block. Each terminal block is clearly labeled with corresponding channel numbers for added simplicity and user clarity.
The Terminal Station’s enclosure is built to withstand tough conditions, meeting NEMA 4X and IP65 standards.
