Introduction
The ProtEX-MAX PD8-6001 explosion-proof feet & inches meter offers all the functionality of the
ProVu PD6001 as a fully FM, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approved explosion-proof product. Its
superluminous LED digits make it easily readable in smoke, dust, fog, and, with the optional
SunBright® display, even direct sunlight. It accepts a process current (4-20 mA) or process
voltage (0-5V, 1-5V, etc.) signal and displays it on a dual-line, 6-digit SunBright
®
sunlight
readable display. t is ideal for level applications requiring an easy-to-understand display, as it
shows feet, inches, and fractions of an inch.
The meter includes a 24 VDC power supply to drive the transmitter and can be equipped with
up to four internal relays and a 4-20 mA output. The PD8-6001 can be programmed and
operated without opening the housing by using the built-in SafeTouch
®
through-glass buttons or
the RS485 serial communication port with free Modbus
®
protocol.
The analog input can be scaled to display the process in two different scales. The main display
can indicate level in feet and inches with printed feet and inches designations, and the second
display could be used to indicate some other scale, such as the volume in gallons or liters.
The basic model includes an isolated 24 VDC transmitter power supply that can be used to
power the input transmitter or other devices. An additional isolated 24 VDC power supply is
included with the 4-20 mA output option. A digital input is standard.
A fully loaded PD6001 meter has the following: four SPDT relays, 4-20 mA output, and two 24
VDC power supplies. The 4-20 mA isolated output, Modbus RTU serial communications, and
digital I/O make the PD8-6001 an excellent addition to any hazardous area level monitoring or
control system.
