1 Descripon
The Mulchannel user interface MI is an industrial computer designed to add funcon-
ality to the PR-43 refractometers. The MI sends and receives data and it can also be
used to control the process.
The Mulchannel user interface MI connects with up to 4 Vaisala K-PATENTS® PR-43
refractometers. With module cards, it can also be used to add external inputs and
outputs (e.g. relays and mA outputs) to your refractometer system.
The MI is operated by the touch-screen display. The stainless steel enclosure gives a
good environmental protecon and allows also outdoor installaons, especially with
the included rain cover. The outer door is easy to open by one hand and the handle
can be modied for padlock to prevent unauthorized access. The module cards can be
reached by opening the inner door. The MI has IP66 rang when the outer door is open
if the inner door (display panel) is xed. With outer door closed the rang is IP67.

2 Mounng
The Mulchannel user interface MI can be mounted on a wall with wall mounng or
on a table with a table stand. The mounng locaon should be easily accessible. If
mounted outdoors, the MI has to be protected from rain and direct sunlight.
