2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XT130C, XT131C and XT130D, XT131D (DIN RAIL format) are dead band ON/OFF
controllers for temperature, humidity and pressure applications. They have been developed
and designed for applications in the industrial sector where the process variable must be
maintained constant within a fixed band. The analogue input type can be set by parameter
between the following, according to the model:
- PTC, NTC;
- PTC, NTC, Pt100, Thermocouple J, K, S;
- 4÷20mA, 0÷1V, 0÷10V.

relay is disabled by pressing any key, with tbA=no the alarm relay remains enabled as long
as the alarm lasts. The display signal remains as long as the alarm condition remains.
