The field-mount Vantageview Super Snoopers are serial input RS-485 Modbus® RTU scanners. These Modbus devices are ideal for applications in need of a rugged solution. The Vantageview decimal version has a two-line decimal display. The Vantageview feet & inches version’s top line displays level in feet and inches up to 399 ft, 11 and 15/16 inches. It includes a 20-segment tank level indicator.
 
Each can accept up to 16 Modbus process variables (PVs), from up to 16 devices. The scanners automatically cycle through the PVs, with the ability to manually cycle PVs or pause scanning.
 
Up to four math channels (CV1-CV4) may be used to perform math functions on any of the input variables. Math functions include sum, difference, weighted average, ratio and more. Nested math functions may be used in these math equations, allowing for complex math functions.
 
The display is programmable to show any input, math channel, units, or tags, on a variety of display combinations between the top and bottom displays.
 
Standard features include SafeTouch through-window buttons for operating the scanner without removing the cover, a backlight that makes the display mode visible in any lighting condition, 511 points of input data logging, and two open collector pulse or alarm outputs. A 4-20 mA output is available as an option.
 
The enclosure has three threaded conduit holes, inte-grated pipe or wall mounting flanges, and allows for easy installation of tamper seals. Two conduit plugs are installed; additional plugs are available (part num-ber PDAPLUG75P).
 
Free, PC-based, ScanView EX software that connects to the scanner via the PDA8068, PDA7485-I, or the PDA8485-I is available for programming and setup of the instrument.
 
The instrument can also be programmed using the four SafeTouch through-window buttons, without removing the cover, or with four internal push-buttons.

Bottom Display: All Top Display Options or Off
Units and tag independent for each PV, pulse input rate, total, and grand total.
BacklightWhite LED, 10 sec auto-off when battery powered. Backlight deactivated below temperature ≈ -20°C
Alarm IndicationFlashing display plus HI/LO (alarm) or SET indicators.
Scan and Update RateAmbient > -20°C: Modbus PV scan rate programmable from 2 to 99 seconds per PV. Tag and units programmable for 1 to 5 second alternation. Pulse input variables update 1/second. Rate update is dependent on gate settings.
Ambient < -20°C: All Modbus scan, alternating units and tags, and pulse input variables update/10 seconds minimum.
Under RangeUpper Display: Decimal display flashes -9999
Level display flashes to 399FT, 11 and 15/16 IN
Lower Display: Flashes -999999
Over RangeUpper Display: Decimal display flashes 99999
Level display flashes to 399FT, 11 and 15/16 IN

Programming MethodFour SafeTouch through-window buttons when cover is installed. Four internal push buttons when cover is removed.
RecalibrationCalibrated at the factory to read frequency in Hz. No recalibration required.
Password Menu OptionsThree programmable password selections can be used for the following: restrict modification of settings, prevent resetting the total or grand total without the password, or permanently lock out the ability to change or reset the grand total or any grand total related settings(making a non-resettable grand total).
Pass: Restricts modifications of programmed settings to require re-entering the password to make changes.
Pass T: Restricts the reset of total to require re-entering the password. Disables the manual mode reset contact.
Pass GT: Restricts the reset of grand total to require re-entering the password. May enable a non-resettable grand total and permanent lockout of grand total-related settings with a specific password.
