Thank you for choosing a NIVELCO instrument.

We are sure that you will be satisfied throughout its use.

1. APPLICATION
The UNICONT PMM-300 series is a universal display and controller. It can also be used as (one
or two channel) display and limit-switch depending on the configuration of the instrument. For the
complete range of the models, technical data and programming in detail see the INSTALLATION
AND PROGRAMMING MANUAL.
The aim of this User’s Manual is to give a concise guideline for applications of the UNICONT USER’S MANUAL
PMM as a process display and limit switch.
for applications as display and limit switch

checked in the Submenu point C.in1 (if you can be sure that the Factory be 15 and the value at the Submenu point O.t01 be 18, that means that
Default settings and parameters prevail). with the input signal reaching 15 the value of 18 will be displayed. The
32 point-pairs can be entered in optional order with the constraint that
C.in.1 Factory Default increasing values of I.txx should come with increasing values of O.txx.
