Hochiki ESP Intelligent Marine Approved Dual Relay Controller with SCI (CHQ-DRC2/M(SCI))

The Hochiki CHQ-DRC2/M(SCI) is a marine-approved addressable dual relay controller with an integral short-circuit isolator (SCI) for the Hochiki ESP analogue addressable system. It gives two general-purpose changeover relay outputs, each driven separately, to control dampers or shut down plant and equipment. A monitored input can be used for local power supply fault monitoring or as a general-purpose input. It is approved to MED by DNV for marine use.

Key features
