Serial ASCII input remote / slave display

The INT2-S is a flexible and easy to use serial data input remote display.

Suited for these applications and more:-

• Remote weight display
• Sharing measurements with other operators.
• Batch totalising - can add numeric data strings together
• Serial to analog converter
• Serial to serial converter - complex to simple format
• Serial data compared to preset values to create alarms

[^] Model INT2-S digital panel meter
The INT2-S is a low cost yet highly precise, stable, flexible and easy to use 1/8 DIN Serial data input slave display, and our top seller, for both display-only and display + output applications. Ideal for remote weighing applications and to repeat the reading on another display. Can now also be mounted inside a panel on DIN rail, as a high-performance signal conditioner, transmitter and alarm module. It has a number of useful plug-in options which make it ideal in many control and monitoring applications. The front panel buttons can be locked, and there is an optional plain front panel with no buttons, which can be put in place of the standard front, after calibration. If you need to be able to read the display in a reflection, for example in a heads-up display system, you can switch it to display a mirrored image.              [Obsolete Mk1 manual] Interesting fact The INT2 is the latest release of this well established display, which was first sold 12 years ago. The fact that it is still a popular seller after all these years is proof that it is 'right' for the job. We designed it, we build it, we know it inside out, so you can count on us for first class support. Plus... You can now order this display with digits up to 400mm high! Exactly the same well-proven software and hardware, but with digits of 57mm, 102mm, 150mm, 200mm, 300mm or 400mm high. Ideal for large factories, or anywhere where you need to see your important measurements from far away, inside or outside. The large version is known as the Fusion family, sealed IP65 all round.
