This unit
The ABB Kent-Taylor 442R is a pneumatic indicating controller that delivers proportional plus integral control for precise process regulation. It accepts a 3 to 15 psi pneumatic input signal and outputs a proportional pneumatic control signal, making it suitable for monitoring and adjusting pressure, temperature, flow, and level across industrial processes. The unit features dual digital displays for programming and indication, LED alarm status indicators, and intuitive membrane-switch controls for real-time parameter adjustment.
