The Eurotherm 32H8I is a versatile and reliable indicator and alarm unit from the esteemed 3200 Series, designed to provide precise temperature and process measurements. This unit is engineered to facilitate process interlocks, including over-temperature furnace limits, through its integrated relay output channels.
Crafted for ease of use, the 32H8I features a 'Quick Start' code that simplifies the configuration of essential functions such as input sensor type, measurement range, and alarms, ensuring 'Out of the Box' operation. Each parameter is accompanied by scrolling text messages that describe its function, available in English, German, French, Spanish, or Italian, catering to a diverse range of users.
The universal input capability of the 32H8I allows for a wide range of temperature and process inputs to be selected directly from the front panel buttons, eliminating the need for hardware changes and enabling easy on-site setup. Additionally, the unit is equipped with a strain gauge input, energised from an internal 10V dc transducer supply, complete with an automatic shunt calibration routine to eliminate zero and span offsets.
The 32H8I's display can show a full 5-digit value, ensuring clear and accurate readings. It offers four internal alarm setpoints that can energise up to three relay outputs, which can be latched if required. A special 'Alarm Blocking' mode ensures that upon power-up, an alarm must first enter a good state before becoming active, which is particularly useful for low alarms during process warm-up.
This unit is not only functional but also designed with a sleek aesthetic that fits seamlessly into various industrial environments. The 32H8I is a testament to Eurotherm's commitment to continuous development and product improvement, making it a smart choice for those seeking a high-quality indicator and alarm unit for their process control needs.
