The ProtEX-MAX™ PD8-6363 offers all the functionality of the ProVu PD6363 as a fully FM, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approved explosion-proof product. It is specifically designed to display flow rate and total from two (2) pulse output (NPN, PNP, TTL, switch contact, sine wave, etc.) flowmeters. It displays these signals on a dual-line, 6-digit Sunbright sunlight readable display. The two display lines can be used to show both flow rates simultaneously, to alternate between the two inputs showing both the flow rate and total of each, or to show the result of math functions performed on the flow rates and totals. The total overflow feature allows up to 9-digit totals and grand totals to be displayed. The PD8-6363 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. It can be programmed and operated without opening the housing by using the built-in SafeTouch® through-glass buttons or the RS485 serial communication port with free Modbus® protocol.

Display AssignmentThe Upper and Lower displays may be assigned to show: One or more rate channels: Channel A (Ch-A), B (Ch-B), or C (Ch-C), Toggle between rate channels: Ch-A & Ch-B, Ch-A & Ch-C, Ch-B & Ch-C, and Ch-A, Ch-B, & Ch-C, Total or grand total: Ch-A or Ch-B, Rate and total or grand total: Ch-A, Ch-B, Relay set points, Max and/or min values: Ch-A, Ch-B, or Ch-C, Toggle between any rate channel & units, Toggle between any rate/math channel & units, Total and units: Ch-A or Ch-B, Toggle between totals: Ch-A & Ch-B; Ch-A, Ch-B, and sum of Ch-A and Ch-B, Modbus input. The lower display may also be set to show engineering units or be off, with no display.
Programming MethodsFour through-glass SafeTouch buttons, four mechanical buttons behind glass, digital inputs, PC and MeterView Pro software, or Modbus registers.
F4 Digital Input Contacts3.3 VDC on contact. Connect normally open contacts across F4 to COM.
F4 Digital Input Logic LevelsLogic High: 3 to 5 VDC; Logic Low: 0 to 1.25 VDC
Max/Min DisplayMax/min readings reached by the process are stored until reset by the user or until power to the meter is cycled
PasswordThree programmable passwords restrict modification of programmed settings and two prevent resetting the totals.
Pass 1: Allows use of function keys and digital inputs
Pass 2: Allows use of function keys, digital inputs and editing set/reset points
Pass 3: Restricts all programming, function keys, and digital inputs.
Total: Prevents resetting the total manually
Gtotal: Prevents resetting the grand total manually
Non-Volatile MemoryAll programmed settings are stored in non-volatile memory for a minimum of ten years if power is lost.
RecalibrationAll ranges are calibrated at the factory. Recalibration is recommended at least every 12 months.
