PD8-6060 ProtEX-MAX Explosion-Proof Dual Analog Input Process Meter

Front, back and in between, the PD8-6060 ProtEX‑MAX explosion-proof dual-input process meter boasts specifications, features and functionality that make it the only hazardous area dual-input process meter you will ever need. The front panel push-buttons can even be operated in a hazardous area without removing the cover by using the CapTouch through-glass feature.

The PD8-6060 has all the same features as our PD6060 1/8 DIN process meter as a fully approved explosion-proof product. The meter is housed in an explosion-proof, IP68, NEMA 4X enclosure available in aluminum or stainless steel, is certified by CSA as Explosion-Proof / Dust-Ignition-Proof / Flame-Proof, and is ATEX and IECEx certified as Dust- Ignition-Proof / Flame-Proof.

Housed inside this enclosure is a dual-line, 6-digit display with high-intensity LEDs that can be read in direct sunlight.

The PD8-6060 has two process input channels (A & B) capable of accepting current (0-20, 4-20 mA) and voltage (±10, 0-5, 1-5, 0-10 VDC). Each input is programmed separately, with independent input type selection and scaling.

These inputs may be displayed individually as part of the customizable dual-line display, or used with a wide range of math functions. Each input has a custom unit or tag that may be displayed.

The most common use for the PD8-6060 is to display two separate inputs on the meter’s dual-line display. Other key features include four relays and 4-20 mA output option, advanced signal input conditioning like automatic round horizontal tank linearization, function keys, pump alternation capability, and Modbus RTU serial communications.

Finally, all these features and capabilities can easily be programmed without removing the cover using CapTouch buttons in a hazardous area or with free MeterView Pro PC-based software in a safe area.
