PD6938-EX ProtEX+ Pulse Input Explosion-Proof Flow Rate/Totalizer
Installed in a variety of areas to provide convenient and informative display of flow rate and total from any pulse output flowmeter
The PD6938 ProtEX+ pulse input flow rate/totalizers can be installed in a variety of areas (hazardous, dirty, wet, corrosive, hot, or cold) to provide convenient and informative display of flow rate and total from any pulse output flowmeter. These instruments will accept a variety of pulse inputs, including slow pulse rates. They can be powered from a battery, 9-30 VDC, or the 4-20 mA output loop, have on-board datalogging capabilities, come with explosion-proof approvals, and can be ordered with optional 4-20 mA output and two relays.
The PD6938 can operate down to -40°C and is certified by the agencies to be installed in areas that get as cold as -55°C. The display will cease functioning below -40°C but no damage will be done to the instrument.
One of the most convenient features of these instruments is their dual-line display, which is typically used to display the flow rate on the top display and flow total, flow grand total, or a tag on the bottom display. The top display has five characters and the bottom display has eight characters for clear indication of tags, units, or alarm messages. Further enhancing the display on these instruments is a 20-segment bargraph and backlighting that can turn red during an alarm condition.
The PD6938 ProtEX+ is available in aluminum and stainless steel enclosures that are designed for easy use and installation. The process connection is available in M20, 3/4" NPT and 1" NPT and there are two other conduit holes for field wiring. Field wiring is made to removable screw terminals and the display module can be oriented in 4 different positions to accommodate different mounting configurations and requires no tools to install. The display has been designed to optimize viewing angle.
Free, PC-based, MeterView XL software that connects to the meter via a micro-USB cable is available for programming and setup of the instruments. Four CapTouch through-glass buttons are available to operate the instrument without removing the cover.
All models come equipped with two open collector outputs and a digital input. There are also models available with Modbus RTU RS-485 communications, two solid-state relays, and isolated 4-20 mA analog output options. The open collector outputs are useful for alarm indication or pulse output. The digital input can be used to reset the total, to start/stop a timer/stopwatch, to start/stop a batch, and more. The relays can be programmed for alarm indication, on/off control, or simple batch control.
