How It Compares
| XK315A1GB-L stainless indicator | Same feature set in a stainless steel housing with a 25.4 mm LCD and LO-OK-HI set point checking, for wet or check weighing positions. |
|---|---|
| XK3101 control indicator | The XK3101 adds isolated fieldbus interfaces and on-off batching outputs for industrial control cabinets; the XK315A1 is the standalone bench head. |
