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

Brand: Precision Digital Corporation

The 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.
