PD6830 ProtEX-RTP Explosion-Proof Pulse Input Flow Rate/Totalizer
Brand: Precision Digital CorporationThe ProtEX-RTP PD6830 is a rugged, explosion-proof, pulse input rate/totalizer for demanding applications in hazardous areas.
It can be powered from 9-30 VDC, battery, or from the 4-20 mA output loop; includes two isolated open collector pulse outputs and is available with an isolated RS-485 option for Mod-bus communications.
The instrument will operate over a temperature range of -40 to 75°C (-40 to 167°F).
The PD6830 carries major approvals including:
- CSA Certified as Explosion-Proof / Dust Ignition-Proof / Flame-Proof
 - ATEX and IECEx Certified as Flame-Proof and Protection by Enclosure
 
The top numeric display will read rate or total up to five digits and the alphanumeric bottom display will read up to 7 digits, 13 digits with the total overflow feature.
The alphanumeric display can also be pro-grammed to show any combination of numbers and letters up to seven characters long for rate, total, grand total, engineering units and/or identification tag.
The backlight makes the display more visible in any lighting condition. The enclosure is provided with threaded conduit holes and integrated pipe or wall mounting flanges.
Free, PC-based, MeterView EX software that connects to the meter via the PDA8068, PDA7485-I, or the PDA8485-I is available for programming and setup of the instrument.
