Description:

Featuring up to 4 1/2 digits of display, the Squirt-R is a
loop powered indicator capable of accepting either linear
or square root 4-20 mA inputs. Numeric password pro­tection prevents unauthorized access to the menu. The
easy to read menu prompts make the Squirt-R so easy to
program that you will feel comfortable programming it
without the use of a manual.
