Trident Series PD765 Process & Temperature Meters
Instruction Manual
6
Introduction
The PD765 Trident 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 Trident 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 Trident’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
Trident 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 Trident: 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 MeterView software or using the
Copy function.
Two relays and isolated 4-20 mA output options
increase the utility of the Trident 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 standard Trident meter is
0.56" (14.2 mm) and on the Trident X2 the display
height is an astounding 1.2" (30.5 mm). The Trident X2
can be read easily from distances of up to 30 feet!
The intensity of the display on both versions of the
Trident can be adjusted to compensate for various
lighting conditions, especially direct sunlight.
