PD6830 ProtEX-RTP Explosion-Proof Pulse Input Flow Rate/Totalizer

Brand: Precision Digital Corporation
The ProtEX-RTP PD6830 is an explosion-proof flow rate/totalizer that can display flow rate and total from a pulse output flowmeter.

Its display has a five digit upper line for rate, a seven alpha-numeric character lower line for total, and comes standard with a backlight.

Like all ProtEX products, the PD6830 carries FM, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals for use in hazardous areas.

It can be powered from an included battery or a 24 Vdc external power supply.

Some features that really make the PD6830 flow rate/totalizer stand out are its automatic unit conversions from flowmeter k-factor units, ability to log up to 1,024 data points, and SafeTouch through-glass buttons.

These buttons allow the PD6830 to be programmed and operated through the glass, thus eliminating the need to remove the cover in a hazardous area.
Features
  • Pulse, open collector, NPN, PNP, TTL, switch contact, sine wave - Coil, square wave, opto-isolated inputs
  • 5-Digit 0.7" / 17.8 mm top display for rate or total
  • 7 alphanumeric character 0.4" / 10.2 mm lower display for rate, total, grand total, units, and tag
  • 13-digit totalizer with total overflow feature
  • SafeTouch through-glass button programming
  • Isolated 4-20 mA output for rate, total, or grand total
  • Two isolated open collector pulse outputs, Up to 5 kHz
  • Battery, DC, or output loop-powered models
  • Gate function for rate display of slow pulse rates
  • K-Factor, scaling, or live input calibration with 32-point linearization
  • Automatic rate, total, and grand total unit conversions
  • Password protection
  • Backlight standard on all models
  • On-board data logging
  • Modbus communications RS-485 option
  • Flanges for wall or pipe mounting
  • Operates from -40° to 75° C / -40° to 167° F
