Specifications Models 8455, 8465, 8475
All models contain on-board electronics and calibration curves that provide a linear signal output. This linear signal is sent out as either a current (mA) or a voltage (V) signal, allowing output to a variety of data loggers or data acquisition systems. In addition, the current and voltage output ranges are user-selectable for your convenience.
