Precision Digital

1/8 DIN dual-line process meter with a Type 4X, NEMA 4X, IP65 front, field-selectable 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, 1-5 V and plus-minus 10 V inputs, an isolated 24 VDC transmitter supply, and 2 or 4 relays plus an isolated 4-20 mA output as options.

Use it whenUse it when the panel meter has to do more than display -- alarm on relays, alternate pumps, linearize a 32-point curve, extract square root, or show the same input in two different scales. This is the one to reach for on a level application where the operator wants both feet and gallons on the same face.

Variants of the ProVu: the PD6001 displays a level input directly in feet and inches, and the PD6060 takes two analog inputs in one meter.

Use it whenUse the PD6001 when the crew reads tank level in feet and inches and you do not want them converting decimals in their heads. Use the PD6060 when you need two signals, or math on two signals, without buying two meters and two panel cut-outs.

1/8 DIN Modbus RS-485 RTU scanners that operate as master, slave or snooper, scan up to 16 Modbus process variables, and can compute sums, differences, averages, weighted averages, ratios and concentrations. SunBright display is standard.

Use it whenUse one when the values you need to show already exist on a Modbus network and you want a display without pulling new analog wire -- or when you need to eavesdrop on an existing master-slave conversation and display what is passing by. Also the choice when the reading has to be a calculation across several registers rather than one raw tag.

Panel-mount process and temperature meter that accepts J, K, T or E thermocouples as well as process signals, with alarm relays that can be tied into a Vigilante II annunciator.

Use it whenUse it when the measurement is a thermocouple or RTD temperature and you want a straightforward, long-established panel meter rather than the fuller feature set of a ProVu.

Low-cost OEM temperature meter in the Sabre series, programmed from the front of the meter.

Use it whenUse it when you are building temperature indication into your own machine or skid in quantity and the job needs a clean, inexpensive display rather than relays, communications and linearization.

Loop-powered process meters, with the PD6620 models adding flow rate and totalizing.

Use it whenUse it when there is no power at the point where somebody needs to read the number, and the only thing running to that spot is the current loop. Pick the PD6620 when the operator needs a running total as well as a rate.

Large-display, field-mount loop-powered meters.

Use it whenUse it when the reading is loop-powered but also has to be legible from a distance -- a tank farm, a loading rack, a spot an operator reads from a truck rather than by walking up to it.

NEMA 4X loop-powered process meter, supplied calibrated and scaled.

Use it whenUse it when the indicator lives outdoors or in a washdown area and you want it to arrive already scaled to the transmitter rather than configured in the field.

Dual-line 5-digit pulse input rate totalizers.

Use it whenUse it when the signal is a pulse train from a turbine, paddlewheel or positive-displacement meter rather than 4-20 mA, and the operator needs rate and total on one face.

Loop-powered meters and flow rate totalizers; the same platform as the explosion-proof ProtEX+ models but in a general-purpose housing.

Use it whenUse it when you want the current generation of loop-powered meter and the area is unclassified. If the same spot were classified you would order the identical meter as a ProtEX+, which keeps spares and training common across both areas of the plant.

Large-display dual-line 6-digit meters: PD2-6000 for process signals, PD2-6400 for high voltage and current, PD2-7000 for temperature. A control station accessory is available for remote operation.

Use it whenUse it when the person who needs the number is not standing at the panel -- a batch operator on a mezzanine, a driver at a scale, a crew on the floor watching a critical level. Pick the PD2-6400 when you are displaying volts or amps directly rather than a transmitter output.

Explosion-proof analog input process meter (PD8-6000) and explosion-proof strain gauge, load cell and millivolt meter (PD8-6100).

Use it whenUse it when a classified area needs local indication of a process signal, or of a load cell or millivolt bridge, and moving the display to a safe area is not practical.

Explosion-proof rate totalizers: PD8-6200 for analog input, PD8-6300 for pulse input.

Use it whenUse it when you need rate and total at the process in a classified area. Choose by signal type -- analog from a transmitter, pulse from a mechanical or turbine meter.

Explosion-proof temperature meter (PD8-7000) and explosion-proof process and temperature meter (PD8-765).

Use it whenUse it when the classified-area measurement is a thermocouple or RTD rather than a 4-20 mA process signal.

Dual-line 5-digit explosion-proof pulse input rate totalizers.

Use it whenUse it when a classified area needs a pulse-input rate and total in a compact explosion-proof housing.

Current-generation explosion-proof loop-powered meters and flow rate totalizers; the classified-area twin of VantageView+.

Use it whenUse it when the spot is classified and loop-powered -- no local power, no safe-area conduit run. Specifying ProtEX+ and VantageView+ together lets one meter type cover both classified and unclassified locations.

Alarm annunciators that gather discrete alarm contacts -- including relay outputs from Trident meters -- into one panel indication.

Use it whenUse it when several alarms need one obvious place an operator looks, instead of hunting across a row of meters to find which one tripped.

A pre-built process value alarm enclosure assembly.

Use it whenUse it when you want an alarm point delivered as a finished, wired assembly rather than buying a meter, an enclosure and a light or horn and having somebody build it.

4-20 mA set point generators and valve positioners.

Use it whenUse a set point generator when you need to inject a known, adjustable 4-20 mA signal -- commissioning a loop, driving a valve manually, or proving out a control scheme without a controller in place.

A range of NEMA 4X enclosures holding up to ten meters, plus custom enclosure assembly and subpanel wiring assembly as ordered options.

Use it whenUse them when meters go outdoors or in washdown, or when you would rather receive a wired, tested assembly than a box of parts. Worth it on multi-meter panels where field labor is the expensive part.

Accessories for remote operation of ProVu and Helios meters, audible and visual alarm indication, and stainless steel sun hoods.

Use it whenAdd a control station when the meter is mounted where an operator cannot reach the buttons. Add a sun hood on any outdoor display in direct sun -- it is the cheapest fix for a face nobody can read at midday.

External expansion modules adding relays, analog outputs and digital I/O to a ProVu meter.

Use it whenUse one when a ProVu already installed runs out of relays or outputs and you would rather expand it than replace it.
