Description
Murphy's model MDTM89 is an electronic, dual-temperature moni-
tor. It monitors two thermocouples, displays the temperature of the
thermocouple selected, and has adjustable trip points for each input.
A toggle switch provides for selection of the thermocouple to be dis-
played and/or the temperature trip point to be checked/adjusted. If
either trip point is reached, the associated output “turns on” and can
be used as a control signal, or to initiate alarms and/or shutdown.
