PDS178 Scanning & Alarm System

Brand: Precision Digital Corporation
The PDS178 Watchdog Temperature Scanning & Alarming System brings together a popular combination of Precision Digital products: the Trident meter, the Minimux II scanner, and the PDA2821 NEMA 4X enclosure.

The scanner automatically switches between up to eight (8) input signals (4-20 ma, ±10 V, TC, or RTD) and sends them to the Trident meter for display.

Signal switching is done via DPST reed relays.

The Watchdog can be used in a variety of temperature and process monitoring applications.

A very common application for this system is to monitor bearing temperatures.

The Trident meter included with this system is available with standard 0.56" (14.2 mm) high LED digits or large 1.2" (30.5 mm) high LEDs.
