Dual-Line Makes All the Difference
The upper display can be programmed to indicate PV,
maximum (peak), minimum (valley), alternating maximum/
minimum, one of eight alarm set points, or Modbus input. The
lower display can be configured to display engineering units,
set points, user defined messages, or simply turned off.
The Helios’s dual-line display makes all the difference both
when programming the instrument and when using it in the
field. When programming the instrument, the dual line display
prompts for the needed information and also helps you keep
track of where you are in the setup process. When using the
instrument, the dual line display provides more information
such as displaying the input in two different scales like height
and volume for a level application. We call this the Dual-Scale
feature.
Programming Assistance
The Helios’s dual-line display makes programming the
instrument much easier because the lower line prompts for
the needed information and also helps you keep track of
where you are in the setup process.
The Helios is prompting for the
value for Input 2 and displaying
the default value of 5.00 A. The
“5” in 5.00 is brighter than the rest
of the digits indicating that it is the
number that will be changed by the
Up and Right arrows.
The Helios is now prompting for
what the user wants Display 2 to be;
that is the value that corresponds
to 95.00 A. In this case Display 2 is
currently set to 95.00.
Display Voltage and Current Individually
or at Same Time
The Helios PD2-6400 can accept both a voltage and a current
input. These can be displayed as one or the other as illustrated
in the first set of screen shots below or both at the same time
as illustrated by the second set of screen shots.
ADVANCED DISPLAY FEATURES
MeterView Pro can be used to scale the voltage and the
current inputs on the Helios PD2-6400 meter.
Superluminous Sunlight Readable Display
The Helios's standard SunBright display features
extraordinarily bright LEDs. It is perfect for applications where
the meter is in direct sunlight or in applications where visibility
may be impaired by smoke, fog, dust, or distance.
Rounding Feature for Even Steadier Display
The rounding feature is used to give the user a steadier display
with fluctuating signals. It causes the display to round to the
nearest value according to the rounding value selected (1, 2,
5, 10, 20, 50, or 100). For example, with a rounding value of
10, and an input of 12346, the display would indicate 12350.

Toggling Between Reading & Units with
Tag and Calculating Apparent Power
The Helios below is programmed so the upper line toggles
between the reading and units, and the lower line displays a tag.
A math channel P calculates apparent power as the product of
the voltage and current inputs shown in the bottom two images.
Upper line toggles between 241 58 and Volts
and the lower line displays Gen 1
Upper line toggles between 1150 6 and Apparent Power
and the lower line displays Gen 1
