The UV1000 Universal Verbalizer from Omega Engineering provides an entirely new way for engineers, technicians, and operators to monitor measurement and control information on the plant floor or in the laboratory. This innovative, patented device accepts signals from nearly any measurement or process control instrumentation, performs a signal to speech conversion, and announces the readings in the proper engineering units. It is CE-compliant and manufactured in the USA. The front panel is configured to accept inputs from a 0 to 20 mA current loop, a 0 to 10 Vdc voltage source, or a direct connection to a Type K thermocouple. The internal voice generator then announces the reading value and correct engineering units either on demand by pressing a TALK button or at fixed intervals which can be set in the range of 0 to 120 seconds. An included voice alarm feature will cause the Universal Verbalizer to announce an alert when a high or low alarm limit condition occurs.
