The ProtEX-RTP PD6830 is a rugged, explosion-proof, pulse input rate/totalizer for demanding applications in hazardous areas. It can be powered from 9-30 VDC, battery, or from the 4-20 mA output loop; includes two isolated open collector pulse outputs and is available with an isolated RS-485 option for Mod-bus communications. The instrument will operate over a temperature range of -40 to 75°C (-40 to 167°F).
 
The top numeric display will read rate or total up to five digits and the alphanumeric bottom display will read up to 7 digits, 13 digits with the total overflow feature. The alphanumeric display can also be pro-grammed to show any combination of numbers and letters up to seven characters long for rate, total, grand total, engineering units and/or identification tag. The backlight makes the display more visible in any lighting condition. The enclosure is provided with threaded conduit holes and integrated pipe or wall mounting flanges.
 
Free, PC-based, MeterView EX software that connects to the meter via the PDA8068, PDA7485-I, or the PDA8485-I is available for programming and setup of the instrument.

Display AssignmentTop Display: Rate or total; Bottom Display: Combinations of rate, total, grand total, units, and custom tag.
BacklightWhite LED, 10 sec auto-off when battery powered. Backlight deactivated below temperature ≈ -20°C
Display Update RateAmbient > -20°C: 1 Update/Second. Ambient < -20°C: 1 Update/10 Seconds.
Note: Update is dependent on gate settings.
Display OrientationDisplay may be mounted at 90° increments up to 270° from default orientation
Over RangeDisplay flashes 99,999
Programming MethodFour SafeTouch through-glass 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.
Max/Min DisplayMax/Min readings reached by the process are stored until reset by the user or until power to the meter is cycled.
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.
Alarm IndicationFlashing display plus HI/LO indicators for rate alarms, SET for total alarms
