PD8 765 Prot EX MAX Explosion Proof Process and Temperature Meter 00747
The PD8-765 ProtEX-MAX is an explosion-proof version of the popular Trident X2 process and temperature meter. It can satisfy a wide variety of process applications. The PD8-765 can be field programmed to accept process voltage (0-5V, 1-5V, etc) and current (4-20 mA) inputs, 100 Ohm RTDs, and the four most common thermocouples. It is housed in an IP68 NEMA 4X rated explosion-proof die cast aluminum enclosure and is a fully approved product carrying FM, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals.
 
There are two power options for the ProtEX-MAX: 85 to 265 VAC or 12-36 VDC and the AC powered version can provide 24 VDC to power the transmitter if needed. Programming and setup can be performed with the four SafeTouch™ through- glass buttons, free MeterView™ software, or using the Copy function.
 
Two relays and isolated 4-20 mA output options increase the utility of the PD8-765. The relays can be used for alarm or control applications. The 4-20 mA output provides an isolated retransmission of the input signal; especially useful for temperature inputs like thermocouples and RTDs. Now you can have an explosion-proof temperature transmitter with a huge, bright display!
 
The PD8-765 ProtEX-MAX display height is an astounding 1.2" (30.5 mm). It can be read easily from distances of up to 30 feet away! The display intensity function allows the selection of eight levels of intensity for various lighting conditions, including direct sunlight.
