PD8-6060 Explosion-Proof Dual Analog Input Process Meter
Instruction Manual
7
Introduction
The ProtEX MAX PD8-6060 is an explosion-proof
dual-input process meter that accepts, powers, and
displays two analog inputs, such as 4-20 mA or
0-10 V. In its simplest configuration, the meter can
display these two inputs at the same time on its
dual-line display in user desired engineering units.
For more demanding applications, the meter can
display a mathematical function of these two inputs
such as addition, difference, average, multiplication
and more. The meter is ideal for level, flow rate,
temperature, or pressure transmitter applications.
The meter features a dual-line display, with a main
display 0.60" (15 mm) high, and a second display of
0.46" (12 mm) high superluminous LED digits, which
can be read in any lighting condition, including direct
sunlight. The meter is housed in a die-cast aluminum,
field-mountable, NEMA 4X/IP68 rated enclosure for
convenient indoor and outdoor installation.
The ProtEX-MAX is available in two configurations:
display only and fully loaded. Both versions include a
24 VDC power supply to power the transmitter. A fully
loaded ProtEX-MAX PD8-6060-6H7 meter comes
with four SPDT relays, a 4-20 mA output, five digital
inputs and four digital outputs, and RS-485 serial
communications.
The four relays can be used for alarm indication or
process control applications such as pump alternation
control. The 4-20 mA isolated output, Modbus
®
RTU
serial communications, and digital I/O features make
the ProtEX-MAX an excellent addition to any system.
SafeTouch Buttons
To make it possible to program and operate the
ProtEX-MAX in a hazardous area, the programming
buttons that are located behind the glass window can
be operated without removing the cover by using the
SafeTouch through-glass buttons. The operator puts
their finger on the glass over the button and the
button is actuated.
