Introduction
The ProtEX-F&I PD6801 is a rugged, explosion-proof
loop-powered indicator specifically designed for level
applications in hazardous areas or in the harshest
environmental conditions. The meter displays level in
easy to read and understand feet, inches, and
fractions of an inch; and a 20-segment tank level
indicator. The lower display can show a custom unit
or tag, percent full, or a second scale for the 4-20 mA
input used to indicate volume.
The meter derives all of its power from the 4-20 mA
loop. It is programmed using the four SafeTouch
through-glass buttons, without removing the cover,
and can be scaled with or without a calibration signal.
The upper display will read up to 699 ft.
– 11
15
/
16
inches. The alphanumeric volume/tag display will read
up to 9,999,999. The alphanumeric display can also
be programmed to show any combination of numbers
and letters up to seven characters long for use as
engineering units and/or the process identification tag.
The backlight lets you see the display under any
lighting condition and can be powered from either the
4-20 mA loop or from a separate DC power supply.
The enclosure is provided with two threaded conduit
holes and integrated pipe or wall mounting slotted
flanges.
