    The MTS6 accepts any calibration range provided with GE probes (see Chapter 5, Specifications for more information). It comes equipped with two standard alarm relays, one fault alarm relay, and a single analog output.
  • Page 12: Probes

    The moisture probe is the part of the system that comes in direct contact with the process. The MTS6 uses any GE M Series (see Figure 2) or a VeriDri probe (see Figure 3) to measure dew point temperature in °C or °F.
