Key Features
The Only Explosion-Proof Process & Temperature Meter You Will Ever Need
The PD8-765 ProtEX-MAX is an explosion-proof
version of the popular PD765 Trident process and
temperature meter. It can satisfy a wide variety of
process applications. The PD8-765 can be field
programmed to accept process voltage (0-5V, 1-5V,
etc.) and current (4-20 mA) inputs, 100 Ohm RTDs,
and the four most common thermocouples. It is
housed in an IP68 NEMA 4X rated explosion-proof
die cast aluminum enclosure and is a fully approved
product carrying FM, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx
approvals.
There are two power options for the ProtEX-MAX:
85 to 265 VAC or 12-36 VDC and the AC powered
versions can provide 24 VDC to power the transmitter
if needed. Programming and setup can be performed
with the four SafeTouch through-glass buttons, free
MeterView software, or using the Copy function.
The relays and isolated 4-20 mA output option
increases the utility of the PD8-765. The relays can be
used for alarm or control applications. The 4-20 mA
output provides an isolated retransmission of the input
signal; especially useful for temperature inputs like
thermocouples and RTDs. Now you can have an
explosion-proof temperature transmitter with a huge,
bright display!
The PD8-765 ProtEX-MAX display height is an
astounding 1.2" (30.5 mm). It can be read easily from
distances of up to 30 feet away! The display intensity
function allows the selection of eight levels of intensity
for various lighting conditions, including direct
sunlight.
