The CN6221 Series is an FM
approved limit controller that can be
configured either as a high limit or
as a low limit controller. The CN6221
features universal input, 2 alarm
outputs, retransmission output, a
timer to count the total time the
setpoint is exceeded, and a register
to retain the maximum. The RS485
communication interface is available
as an option.
