SmartConnex offers a choice of three operator interfaces: KSU II Single Unit Display, K Vision Line Control Display, and KSC Smart Commander for multiple line control. These display and data entry units can be employed individually or in combination as demanded by the application.
KSU-II Single Unit Display
The KSU-II is an economical user interface for single feeders with KCM. It can also be used as a portable display for maintenance or configuration in larger systems where the feeder's primary display point is a higher level unit. The KSU-II can be dedicated to a single feeder or it can network to multiple KCMs. The KSU-II will only view one feeder at a time, but the user can switch between feeders. Up to three KSU-II operator interfaces can be linked to a network of up to 31 KCM's. Each KSU-II can be programmed to access a different KCM.
- Simple installation
- Mounted within 100m (330ft) of KCM
- Signal lamps
- 4-band LCD display
- Key touchpad for entry & programming
K VisionTM Single Line Controller
