GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Red Lion’s Graphical Panel Meters, PM-50, is a platform of 

meters designed to increase operator productivity and expose 

critical plant floor data for use in project scheduling and process 

improvements. Local operators can easily relate to the more 

intuitive graphical display. Additional displays could be added to 

provide even more data. The meters feature on-board Wi-Fi, 

RS-485/Modbus and optional Ethernet or RS-232.

PM-50 features a 4.3" or 3.5" Color Graphical Touchscreen. 

With an appearance like many smart devices, the display includes 

a status bar and menu selections for easy operation. Recognizing 

a swipe gesture allows multiple screens to be accessed. 

Touchscreen push buttons can be displayed on the screen or 

hidden during operation. The meters mount in standard industrial 

hole sizes, 1/8 DIN and 1/16 DIN respectively. 

On power-up, a Programming Wizard will assist you to get 

started. You may also select a Programming App, Web Server, or 

the traditional button/menu style for your programming needs. 

For OEM customers a microSD Card allows for quick programming 

and installation, saving time and money.

The Digital model accepts various pulse sensors. Onboard 

outputs include two Solid State Outputs that can take up to 30 V 

source voltage with software configurable source or sink options. 

User inputs are also available to provide external interface and 

control when required. 

The PM-50 platform includes modular construction to add 

additional capabilities. External modules can easily be installed in 

the field to add a variety of output and communication options. 

As safety advances through the Automation Industry, DC is the 

more common choice for power. However, there are still many 

requirements for AC power and they can be accommodated with 

our AC to DC Power Module.
