PD6830 ProtEX-RTP Explosion-Proof Pulse Input Flow Rate/Totalizer

Brand: Precision Digital Corporation

The ProtEX-RTP PD6830 is an explosion-proof flow rate/totalizer that can display flow rate and total from a pulse output flowmeter. 

Its display has a five digit upper line for rate, a seven alpha-numeric character lower line for total, and comes standard with a backlight.

Like all ProtEX products, the PD6830 carries FM, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals for use in hazardous areas. 

It can be powered from an included battery or a 24 Vdc external power supply. 

Some features that really make the PD6830 flow rate/totalizer stand out are its automatic unit conversions from flowmeter k-factor units, ability to log up to 1,024 data points, and SafeTouch through-glass buttons. 

These buttons allow the PD6830 to be programmed and operated through the glass, thus eliminating the need to remove the cover in a hazardous area.
