Field Mounted Indicators ATEX (IS)

Field Mounted Indicators
Precision Digital manufactures a wide range of field-mounted indicators and controllers that are suitable for harsh and hazardous environments. They can be easily mounted to pipes, walls and other surfaces in your facility, inside or outdoors. These meters feature either rugged NEMA 4X safe area enclosures or FM, CSA, ATEX, IECEx approved explosion-proof enclosures. Field mounted loop-powered meters can be installed in areas with limited access to additional power because they derive their power from the 4-20 mA loop. Many of these meters feature large digits and sunlight readable, wide angle displays.

Field Mounted Indicators ATEX (IS)

  • The Loop Leader+ loop-powered large display 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
    large, dual line display. The 2.8" 5-digit top display is used
    to display the process variable while the 1.5" 8-character
    alphanumeric bottom display can be used to display the
    units of measure or a tag. Feet and inches models display
    level in feet and inches on the top display while the 8-digit
    alphanumeric bottom line may be used to display a tag or
    custom message.

    Further enhancing the display on these instruments is a
    20-segment bargraph that also includes a numeric value of
    the percentage the bargraph represents.
    Free, PC-based, MeterView XL software that connects
    to the meter via a micro USB cable is available for
    programming and setup of the meters.

    The PD4 is available in two configurations: Display only
    and with two solid-state relays and 4-20 mA analog output.
    All models come equipped with two open collector outputs
    and remote contacts. The open collector outputs are
    useful for alarm indication. The remote contacts can be
    used to remotely operate the four programming buttons, to
    acknowledge the relays, to start/stop a timer/stopwatch, and
    more. The relays can be programmed for alarm indication,
    on/off control, or pump alternation.

    Finally, there are intrinsically safe versions of these
    instruments that can be installed in hazardous areas.

    • Loop-Powered
    • Intrinsically Safe
    • Flashing Red Display / Message on Alarm
    • Free Programming Software
    • Bargraph or Feet & Inches Display
    • Discrete and Analog Output Options
  • The Loop Leader+ loop-powered large display flow rate/totalizers 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 large, dual-line display which is typically used to display flow rate on the 2.8" 5-character alphanumeric top display and flow total, flow grand total, or a tag on the 1.5" 8-character alphanumeric bottom display. Both display lines use 14-segment, alphanumeric characters that provide much clearer indication of tags, units, or alarm messages than 7-segment characters do.

    Further enhancing the display on these instruments is a 20-segment bargraph that also includes a numeric value of the percentage the bargraph represents. Free, PC-based, MeterView XL software that connects to the meter via a micro USB cable is available for programming and setup of the meters.

    The PD4 is available in two configurations: Display only and with two solid-state relays and 4-20 mA analog output. All models come equipped with two open collector outputs and remote contacts. The open collector outputs are useful for alarm indication or pulse output. The remote contacts can be used to remotely operate the four programming buttons, to reset the total, to start/stop a timer/stopwatch, and more. The relays can be programmed for alarm indication, sample, timer, batch control, or stopwatch.

    Finally, the PD4-6628 is an intrinsically safe version that can be installed in hazardous areas.

    Why you should buy:
    • 2.8" Dual-Line Backlit LCD Display
    • Loop-Powered
    • Display Rate & Total Simultaneously

  • The PD6938 ProtEX+ pulse input flow rate/totalizers can be installed in a variety of areas (hazardous, dirty, wet, corrosive, hot, or cold) to provide convenient and informative display of flow rate and total from any pulse output flowmeter. These instruments will accept a variety of pulse inputs, including slow pulse rates. They can be powered from a battery, 9-30 VDC, or the 4-20 mA output loop, have on-board datalogging capabilities, come with approvals for intrinsic safety, and can be ordered with optional 4-20 mA output and two relays.

    The PD6938-IS is ATEX and IECEx Certified as Intrinsically Safe.

    It can operate down to -40°C and is certified by the agencies to be installed in areas that get as cold as -55°C. The display will cease functioning below -40°C but no damage will be done to the instrument.

    The PD6938 ProtEX+ is available in aluminum and stainless steel enclosures that are designed for easy use and installation. The process connection is available in M20, 3/4" NPT and 1" NPT and there are two other conduit holes for field wiring.

    Free, PC-based, MeterView XL software that connects to the meter via a micro-USB cable is available for programming and setup of the instruments. Four CapTouch through-window buttons are available to operate the instrument without removing the cover.

    All models come equipped with two open collector outputs and a digital input. There are also models available with Modbus RTU RS-485 communications, two solid-state relays, and isolated 4-20 mA analog output options.

  • The PD685 is an easy to use, loop-powered indicator, certified by CSA, ATEX and IECEx as intrinsically safe. The PD685 carries international certifications under both the Class/Division System and Zone System, and is thereby suitable for use in gas and dust hazardous areas worldwide. For Division 2 applications where intrinsically safe interfaces are not needed, the PD685 is able to be installed without barriers! To achieve this ability, the PD685 underwent a special 'nonarcing assessment' under the UL 121201 and CSA C22.2 No. 213 standards, and was determined to be a device incapable of causing an ignition on its own. The PD685 is wellsuited for both indoor and outdoor applications and carries a variety of environmental ratings, including NEMA 4, Type 4X and IP67.

    The PD685 can be seen from considerable distance in bright sunlight or dimly lit areas when the standard backlight feature is activated. The fact that this meter is loop-powered means that there is no need to run additional, costly power lines into a hazardous area. The meter gets all of the power it needs from the 4-20 mA loop and its 1 V (4 V with backlight) drop results in a minimal burden on the loop. The meter features a wide -40 to 75°C operating temperature range and is available with a ½" conduit hole in a location of your choice for easy installation. Calibration is a quick two-step process involving the adjustment of only two sets of coarse and fine, non-interacting potentiometers.
