Vertu Series VPM3000 Process Meters & Temperature Transmitters
Instruction Manual
6
Introduction
The Vertu digital panel meter is one of the most
versatile digital panel meters on the market and will
satisfy a wide variety of process and temperature
applications. The Vertu 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 types.
One of the Vertu’s most useful features is its ability
to provide 24 VDC to power the transmitter’s 4-20 mA
signal. This reduces costs and simplifies wiring. The
Vertu is housed in a shallow-depth, 1/8 DIN enclosure
that features a NEMA 4X front panel and convenient
mounting hardware. There are two power options for
the Vertu: 85 to 265 VAC or 12-36 VDC and certain
configurations of the AC powered meter can provide 24
VDC to power the transmitter, if needed. Programming
and setup can be performed with the four front panel
pushbuttons, free DisplayWizard software or using the
Copy function.
Two relays and isolated 4-20 mA output options
increase the utility of the Vertu meter. 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.
The display height on the Vertu VPM3000 is an
astounding 1.2" (30.5 mm) and can be read easily from
distances of up to 30 feet!
The intensity of the display on the Vertu can be
adjusted to compensate for various lighting conditions,
especially direct sunlight.
