The ProtEX-MAX™ PD8-6210 offers all the functionality of the ProVu PD6210 as a fully FM, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approved explosion-proof product. It is an analog input (4-20 mA, 0-5 V, 1-5 V, etc.) digital batch controller specifically designed for single and multi-stage batching applications. It provides excellent but simple batch control capabilities with features such as preclose relays and automatic overrun correction for more accurate batches and convenient SafeTouch® through-glass buttons for simple operation and menu navigation without having to remove the cover. The preclose deactivates a specific relay before the batch is finished in order to allow slower fill rates and increased accuracy. Automatic overrun correction keeps the batch size accurate over time and with system wear. The PD8-6210 includes a 24 VDC power supply to drive the flowmeter and can be equipped with up to four internal relays and a 4-20 mA analog output.

DisplayUpper display: 0.60" (15 mm) high. Lower display: 0.46" (12 mm) high. Both are 6 digits (-99999 to 999999), red LEDs.
Default Display AssignmentThe upper display shows batch total. The lower display shows rate with alternating units, and can be switched to show grand total, batch count, or preset with the STOP key.
Custom Display AssignmentThe upper and lower displays may be assigned to rate, total, grand total, batch count, preset, set points, units (lower display only), alternating R & T, R & GT, preset & rate, max & min, or a Modbus display register. Any rate/total/grand total display may be programmed to alternate with a custom unit or tag.
Alternating DisplayDisplays alternate every 10 seconds when display is selected or the batch is paused.
