Description

The VEGAMET 342 is a multifunctional control unit tailored for applications requiring accurate monitoring, display, and control of measurement signals. It accepts input from two 4–20 mA sensors and provides both visual data display and comprehensive process control functionality from a central panel-mounted interface.

In marine environments, the VEGAMET 342 is ideal for monitoring tank levels, managing overfill protection, controlling pumps, and measuring flow in open channels or weirs. With programmable alarms and logic functions, it supports everything from basic monitoring to more complex automation tasks.

This controller features a large, high-contrast LCD matrix display with adjustable backlighting. The intuitive turn/push button interface ensures easy setup and operation, even when wearing gloves. For added flexibility, users can configure and monitor the device wirelessly using Bluetooth and a smartphone, tablet, or PC — perfect for hard-to-reach installations on board ships or in control rooms.
