Introduction
These loop-powered 1/8 DIN flow rate/totalizers can
be installed virtually anywhere to provide convenient
and informative display of flow rate and total from a
4-20 mA signal. One of the most convenient features
of these instruments is their ability to display both flow
rate and total at the same time. For instance, flow rate
is typically displayed on the 5-digit alphanumeric top
line and flow total or grand total is typically displayed
on the 8-digit alphanumeric bottom line. Both display
lines use 14-segment, alphanumeric characters for
clear indication of tags, units, or alarm messages.
Further enhancing the display on these instruments is
a 20-segment bargraph available on the PD6624 and
PD6628 that also includes a numeric value of the
percentage the bargraph represents.
These flow rate/totalizers can be installed virtually
anywhere because they get their power from the
4-20 mA loop and therefore require no separate
power source. And they only drop 1.5 V (4.5 V with
backlight), so they add very little burden to the loop.
Additional features that allow these instruments to be
installed virtually anywhere include a NEMA 4X, IP65
front panel, an operating temperature range of
-40 to 167°F (-40 to 75°C) (for safe area products),
conformally coated PCBs, and a backlit LCD that can
be read in bright sunlight or dimly lit areas. Finally,
there are intrinsically safe and nonincendive versions
of these instruments that can be installed in
hazardous areas.
Free, PC-based, MeterView XL software that
connects to the meter via a micro USB cable is
available for programming and setup of the meters.
All models come equipped with two open collector
outputs and a digital input. There are also models
available with two solid state relays and isolated
4-20 mA analog output options. The open collector
outputs are useful for alarm indication or pulse output.
The digital input can be used to reset the total. The
relays can be programmed for alarm indication, on/off
control, or simple batch control.
