DIGITAL PANEL METERS

digital Process Pamel Meter PD690
  •  4-20 mA, 0-5 V, 0-10 V inputs
  •  NEMA 4X, IP65 front panel
  •  0.56" (14.2 mm) red LED display
  •  4½ digits + extra zero
  •  11-point linearization
  •  Square root function
  •  115 VAC power
  •  24 V transmitter power supply standard
  •  2 or 4 relays + 4-20 mA output options
The PD690 is a high performance, easy to use, industrial-grade microprocessor-based digital process meter. It accepts all standard process signals (4-20 mA, 1-5 V, & 0-10 V) and displays these signals in engineering units on a 4½ digit display. The display includes an extra zero, which may be used to handle numbers up to 199,990. The meter also provides 24 VDC to power the transmitter. Options include 2 or 4 relays and an Isolated 4-20 mA Transmitter Output.

GENERAL FEATURES

The Model PD690 puts the power of microprocessor technology to work in a high performance, easy to use, industrial grade digital process meter with the features customers want:
  • Isolated 24 V Transmitter Power Supply
  • NEMA 4X, IP65 Front Panel
  • Steady, Accurate 4½ Digit + Extra Zero Display
  • Linearization with Square Root Extraction
  • Powerful Options

SINGLE BUTTON SCALING

Single Button scaling means the PD690 can be completely programmed using only one button. And you only do one thing with that one button: press it once when the meter displays what you want. For example, press the ENTER button to initiate automatic scan of the various programming routines: digital Process Meter Scale Readout, digital Process Meter Decimal Readout, digital Process Meter Alarm Readout, digital Process Meter Output Readout, and
digital Process Meter No Points Readout. To enter one of these routines, press the ENTER button as the routine name is displayed. Once in the routine, press the ENTER button when the meter reads the desired value. It's that simple!

Stand Alone Scaling for Quick Setup

The PD690 may be calibrated using an external signal source such as a calibrator or scaled using the internal source with the Stand Alone Scaling feature. With Stand Alone Scaling, a 4-20 mA input can be scaled for any display range without applying a signal. No calibrator is necessary to program the unit for a desired display range. Simply select Internal Calibration mode and set desired display for the 4 mA and 20 mA values. To scale inputs such as 0-5 V, 1-5 V, or 0-10 V without applying a signal it is necessary to first complete an Initial Calibration.

Simplify Loops with PD690 24 V Transmitter Power Supply

The PD690 is ideal for loops that consist of a transmitter and a digital display because the PD690 provides the 24 V to power the transmitter. This standard feature saves time and money by simplifying wiring and eliminating the cost of an external power supply. In addition, the isolated power supply can be used to power 3 and 4 wire

NEMA 4X, IP65 Front Panel Protection for Hostile Environments

Wet, dirty and dusty environment don’t bother the PD690 NEMA 4X, IP65 front panel so it can be installed in almost any panel in the plant. That means plant operators can have the important process information right where they need it most, on the shop floor. And the NEMA 4X, IP65 front panel does not restrict access to the setup buttons.

Big Bright Steady Display for Big Numbers

The PD690 4½ digit plus extra zero display is great for displaying big numbers; like the volume in a 100,000 gallon tank. And the PD690 large display does not sacrifice stability for resolution. Even when displaying large numbers, the PD690 display is steady and quick responding. Operators will appreciate being able to display process variables with such stability and resolution and they’ll have confidence in the smooth, steady display.

4 Visual Alarm Points Standard

PD690 comes with 4 visual independent alarms. Each alarm is easily programmed for high or low set point and 0-100% deadband. Front panel LEDs indicate alarm status and assist in set point/reset point programming. Options are available with 2 and 4 relays.

Alarm/Relay Programming

Pressing the ENTER button when the display reads digital Process Meter Alarms Readout initiates a scan of the alarm set and reset points. First, the display flashes Alarm #1 Set Point and indicates this by lighting up the #1 LED and the "S" LED.

This Set Point may be changed using the ENTER button. Next the display flashes Alarm #1 Reset Point and indicates this by lighting up the #1 LED and the “R” LED. This Reset Point may also be changed using the ENTER button. The remaining Set and Reset Points are programmed in a similar fashion.

to 80000.

Alarm Status Indication

When an alarm occurs, an LED will illuminate to indicate which alarm has tripped. This LED will stay illuminated until the meter returns to the non-alarm state.

LINEARIZATION FEATURE

The linearization feature has two modes of operation. The 11-point user calibration will display non-linear signals like volume in a round horizontal tank by allowing the user to input up to 11 calibration points and corresponding displays. The square root extraction feature displays flow rate by extracting the square root of a signal from a differential pressure transmitter. This feature also has a user selectable low-flow cutoff feature to give a reading of zero when the flow rate drops below a user-set point.

OPTIONS

The PD690’s wide array of options satisfy even the most demanding applications. And, unlike many competitors, there are no restrictions on the combination of options a meter can have! A fully loaded Model PD690-3-18 has a 24 V transmitter power supply (standard), NEMA 4X front panel (standard), 11-point linearization (standard), 4 relays, and isolated 4-20 mA output.

Relay Options

The PD690 is available with 2 or 4 relays. The SPDT relays are rated 2 amp at 250 VAC and can be programmed for automatic or automatic plus manual reset. The relays can also be programmed for 0-100% deadband.

Isolated 4-20 ma Output Option

Equipped with an isolated 4-20 mA output signal option, these meters can be programmed to produce a 4-20 mA output for virtually any input. The 4-20 mA output signal can be powered either by the internal or an external power supply. If the internal power supply is used for the 4-20 mA output, it is not available to power the transmitter input. The 4-20 mA output provides 500 VDC or peak AC, input-to output or input/output-to-power isolation.
