Introducing the Precision Digital PD6600, a versatile and safe digital panel meter designed for various environments. This 1/8 DIN meter is loop-powered, meaning it can be installed almost anywhere without needing a separate power source. It effectively displays any 4-20 mA signal, making it a reliable choice for your monitoring needs.
One standout feature of the PD6600 is its dual line display. The top line shows the process variable in a clear 5-digit alphanumeric format, while the bottom line can display units or tags in an 8-digit format. For example, you can view measurements in feet on the top line and gallons on the bottom line. Both lines utilize 14-segment characters for easy reading of tags, units, or alarm messages.
The PD6608 model enhances this experience with a 20-segment bargraph that visually represents data, along with a numeric percentage value. For those who prefer traditional measurements, there’s a model that displays levels in feet and inches instead of decimals.
These loop-powered meters are incredibly efficient, dropping only 1.5 V (or 4.7 V with backlight), which minimizes the load on the loop. They are built to last, featuring a NEMA 4X, IP65 rated front panel, and can operate in temperatures ranging from -40 to 158°F (-40 to 70°C). The conformally coated PCBs and backlit LCD ensure readability in both bright sunlight and dim conditions. Plus, they are intrinsically safe and non-incendive, making them suitable for hazardous locations.
Programming and setup are a breeze with the free PC-based software that connects via a micro USB cable. Alternatively, you can easily operate the meter using the four front panel buttons, three of which can serve as function keys. A standard digital input allows for remote alarm resets or triggering alarms.
All models come with two open collector outputs, and you can choose options for two solid-state relays and a 4-20 mA analog output. The open collector outputs are perfect for alarm indications or pulse outputs, while the relays can be programmed for alarm notifications, on/off control, or pump alternation.
