Introduction
These loop-powered 1/8 DIN digital panel meters can
be installed virtually anywhere to provide convenient
and informative display of any 4-20 mA signal. One of
the most convenient features of these instruments is
their dual line display which is typically used to display
the process variable on the 5-digit alphanumeric top
line and the units of measure or a tag on the 8-digit
alphanumeric bottom line. Another common setup is
to display the input in one scale on the top line (such
as feet) and in another scale on the bottom line (such
as gallons). Both of these lines use 14-segment, al-
phanumeric characters for clear indication of tags,
units or alarm messages.
Further enhancing the display on these instruments is
a 20-segment bargraph available on the PD6604/8
that also includes a numeric value of the percentage
the bargraph represents.
These loop-powered meters can be installed virtually
anywhere because they get their power from the 4-20
mA loop and therefore require no separate power
source. And they only drop 1.5 V (4.5 V with back-
light), so they add very little burden to the loop. Addi-
tional features that allow these instruments to be in-
stalled virtually anywhere include a NEMA 4X, IP65
front panel, an operating temperature range of -40 to
167°F (-40 to 75°C) (for safe area products), confor-
mally coated PCBs, and a backlit LCD that can be
read in bright sunlight or dimly lit areas. Finally, there
are intrinsically safe and nonincendive versions of
these instruments that can be installed in hazardous
areas.
Free, PC-based, MeterView XL software that con-
nects to the meter via a micro USB cable is available
for programming and setup of the meters.
All models come equipped with two open collector
outputs and are available with two solid state relays
and isolated 4-20 mA analog output options. The
open collector outputs are useful for alarm indication
or pulse output. The relays can be programmed for
alarm indication, on/off control, or pump alternation.
