PD6870 ProtEX-FarVu Explosion-Proof Large Display Loop-Powered Meter

Brand: Precision Digital Corporation

The ProtEX-FarVu PD6870 is a rugged, explosion-proof, loop-powered meter with 1" display digits ideal for demanding applications in hazardous areas or in the harshest environmental conditions.

The ProtEX-FarVu carries all major approvals including:

  • UL Listed as Explosion-Proof / Dust Ignition-Proof / Flame-Proof
  • CSA Certified as Explosion-Proof / Dust Ignition-Proof / Flame-Proof
  • ATEX and IECEx Certified as Explosion-Proof

It is available in either an aluminum or stainless steel enclosure with ¾" or M20 connections. It will operate down to -40°C and is approved for installation in areas where the temperature gets as cold as -55°C, however, the display will cease functioning.

The meter is programmed using four easy to access front-mounted potentiometers.

The numeric display will read from -1000 to 1999 over a 2000 count user adjustable scaling span. The backlight feature lets you see the display under any lighting condition and is powered from the 4-20 mA loop with no additional power supply required. The backlight can be enabled or disabled via alternative wiring of the terminal block.

The enclosure is provided with two conduit openings. The built-in mounting flange on the enclosure makes it convenient for pipe or wall mounting.
