PD6000 ProVu dual line 6 digit process meter


FEATURE RICH AND FLEXIBLE

The ProVu meter boasts specifications and functionality that clearly makes it one of the most advanced process meters available. Its dual-line 6-digit display (999,999), advanced math functions, function keys, and optional expansion modules are only a few of the features you will find on the ProVu.



FRONT PANEL DISPLAY

Precise, Accurate, and More Informative

ProVu's large 0.6" main display will provide you with a highly accurate and precise 6-digit view of your process. Its 24-bit A/D is accurate to ± 0.03% of calibrated span ±1 count.

PD6000 ProVu Dual Line 6 digit process meter Front Panel Display

Configurable

The main display can be programmed to indicate PV, maximum (peak), minimum (valley), alternating maximum/
minimum, or one of eight alarm set points. The secondary display can also be configured to display engineering
units, setpoints, user defined legends, or simply turned off.



Function Keys
There are three function keys available to the user. These keys can be programmed to trigger certain events (i.e. acknowledge alarms, reset max and/or min, disable/enable output relays, or hold current relay states), provide direct menu access points, and more. PD6000 ProVu Dual Line 6 digit process meter Function Keys



Environmentally Tough

PD6000 ProVu Dual Line 6 digit process meter front panel display enviromentally tough

Rugged
A unique front panel design makes the ProVu nearly impenetrable in typical applications.
Here, the ProVu easily survives a direct hit on the display from a heavy 2" solid stainless steel ball dropped from eight feet.
PD6000 Dual Line 6 digit process meter Front Panel Display Rugged



PD6000 ProVu Dual Line 6 digit process meter Front Panel Display Easy to use Easy to Use

The user friendly dual-line display makes the ProVu easy to set up & program. No jumpers to set for input selection. All setup & programming is done via the front panel. Three levels of password protection help maintain the reliability of the programming.


FIELD EXPANSION MODULES


Add functionality to the ProVu in the field with easy-to-install external expansion modules. Add RS-232 or RS-422/485 communications, I/O modules (up to 2), or 4-relay expansion module. The menu items for these modules do not appear until the module is connected, simplifying the basic menu. Relay and digital I/O modules are shown below with optional DIN rail mounting kit, P/N PDA1002.

I/O Expansion Module

Four digital inputs and four digital outputs are available per expansion module. The ProVu meter will accept two of these modules. External digital inputs can function similarly to the front panel function keys. They can be configured to trigger certain events (i.e. acknowledge/reset alarms, reset max and/or min values, disable/enable all output relays, and hold current relay states), provide direct menu access point, or mimic front panel keys. Digital outputs can be used to remotely monitor ProVu's alarm relay output states, or the states of a variety of actions and functions executed by the meter.

Relay Expansion Module

An external module containing four 3 amp Form A (SPST) relays can be added to the ProVu at anytime.

Removable screw terminal blocks accept 12 to 22 AWG wire.

pd6000 dual line 6 digit process meter communications module Communications Module

Serial communications on the ProVu can be added anytime with external RS-232 or RS-422/485 communication adapters.


MULTI-PUMP ALTERNATION

For pump control applications where 2 or more similar pumps are used to control the level of a tank or a well, it is desirable to have the pumps operate alternately; this prevents excessive wear and overheating of one pump over the lack of use of the others. The ProVu can accommodate up to 8 pumps.

In the example below, a pair of relays have been set up to alternate every time an on/off pump cycle is completed. Another pair of relays is used for low and high alarms.

Relay #4 turns the main pump on at 6000 gallons and turns it off at 1000 gallons.

PD6000 dual line 6 digit process meter Multi-pump alternation 2
With the Pump Alternation feature activated, the next time the level reaches 6000 gallons, relay #3 transfers and starts the backup pump.

If the backup pump is not able to keep up, and the level reaches 7000 gallons, relay #4 transfers and starts the main pump as well.

Relay #2 trips the High Level Alarm at 7500 gallons and resets at 6900 gallons.

pd6000 dual line 6 digit process meter multi-pump alternation 5
Relay #1 trips the Low Level Alarm at 495 gallons and resets at 750 gallons.




MATH FUNCTIONS

Non-linear input signals can be linearized with the ProVu's simple to use built-in math functions, such as: squareroot extractor, weirs & flumes exponential linearizer, horizontal round tank linearizer, or the ProVu's powerful general purpose 32-point linearizer (free linearization utility available at www.predig.com).

METER COPY

The Copy feature is used to copy (or clone) all the settings from one ProVu to other ProVu meters in about 20 seconds! The Copy function is a standard feature on all meters. It does not require a communications adapter, only an optional cable assembly, P/N PDA1200. See the ordering information for complete details.

FREE SOFTWARE


Precision Digital offers a free PC utility to use with the ProVu that makes entering linearization points/values
for our 32-point linearizer a snap. Linearization data can be entered into a table in the utility, or imported from an Excel® spreadsheet. Once entered into the utility, it can be saved to an Excel® spreadsheet for future reference. This software can be downloaded from www.predig.com. Since the serial communication adapter is external, only one adapter is required for the programming of multiple ProVu meters!

OUTPUTS

Relay Outputs

The ProVu has up to four 3 A Form C relays (SPDT), giving you more fail-safe options upon power loss. Relay action can also be configured for input loop break protection. Set ON and OFF delay times when needed. Up to eight front panel indicators show alarm and/or relay state. Can be configured for 0-100% deadband. PD6000 dual line process meter relay outputs


Relay Operation/Configuration


There are powerful relay functions that can be configured in the ProVu meter, including:

  • Automatic reset only (non-latching)
  • Automatic + manual reset at any time (non-latching)
  • Latching (manual reset only)
  • Latching with Clear (manual reset only after alarm condition has cleared)
  • Pump alternation control (automatic reset only)
  • Sampling (activated for a user-specified time)
  • User selectable fail-safe operation
  • Relay action for loss(break) of 4-20 mA input signal
  • Time delay (on and off), independent for each relay
  • Manual control mode


Analog Output

The isolated analog retransmission signal can be configured to represent the process variable (PV), maximum (peak) value, minimum (valley) value, or the value for any of the eight relay set points. While the output is nominally 4-20 mA, the signal will accurately accommodate under- and over-ranges from 1 to 23 mA.

Auto/Manual Control

Take control of any output with this feature. All relays can be forced ON or OFF, and the 4-20 mA output signal can be set to any value within its range.

Isolated Transmitter Power Supplies

A powerful 24 V @ 200 mA power supply is a standard feature on the ProVu meter. It can be configured for 5, 10, or 24 V (default) by means of a simple internal jumper (see manual). An additional power supply (24 V @ 40 mA) is standard with the 4-20 mA output option.
