PD8-6300 ProtEX-MAX Explosion-Proof Pulse Input Flow Rate/Totalizer

The ProtEX-MAX PD8-6300 explosion-proof flow rate/ totalizers are specifically designed for displaying flow rate and total from flowmeters with pulse outputs. The PD8‑6300 has all the same features as our PD6300 1/8 DIN flow rate/ totalizer, as a fully approved explosion-proof product.

The product is certified by CSA as Explosion-Proof / Dust- Ignition-Proof / Flame-Proof, and is ATEX and IECEx certified as Dust-Ignition-Proof / Flame-Proof.

The first thing you will notice about the PD8-6300 is its modern looking, rugged, explosion-proof housing with convenient mounting flanges, available in aluminum or stainless steel. Housed inside this enclosure is a dual-line, 6-digit display with high-intensity LEDs that can be read in direct sunlight.

The main display can be programmed to display flow rate, total, or grand total, and the second display can be programmed to display flow rate, total, grand total, engineering units, custom legends, or turned off.

Besides being suitable for hazardous areas, the number one feature that makes the PD8-6300 such a useful device is its built-in 5, 10 or 24 VDC power supply to drive the flowmeter as illustrated by the above diagram.

This feature not only saves the cost of an external power supply, but also greatly simplifies wiring. In addition, there is a second 24 VDC @ 25 mA power supply provided with the 4-20 mA output option.

ProtEX-MAX flow rate/totalizers can be programmed for a wide variety of totalizer applications. They can display total, grand total, or non-resettable grand total with a time base of seconds, minutes, hours or days. The user can program a totalizer conversion factor, a non-resettable grand total, password protection, and several total reset methods.

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.
