GENERAL FEATURES

The PD691 is a high performance, industrial-grade 4½ digit Strain Gauge Meter. It accepts all the standard strain gauge and load cell signals: 0-30 mV, 0-200 mV, ± 15 mV and ± 100 mV and displays these signals in engineering units on a 4½ digit display. The display also includes an extra zero which may be used to handle numbers up to ±199,99(0).


Single Button Scaling

Single Button Scaling means the PD691 can be completely programmed using only one button. There are no complicated menu trees to navigate or button-pushing sequences to memorize. Simply press the ENTER button to initiate the automatic menu scan. When the desired routine appears press ENTER again. Once in a routine, press the ENTER button when the display reads the desired value. It’s that simple!

NEMA 4X & IP65 Front Panel
Wet, dirty and dusty environments don’t bother the PD691 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 information right where they need it most, on the shop floor.


Bright Steady Display for Big Numbers

The PD691 4½ digit + extra zero display is great for displaying big numbers. Even when displaying large numbers, the PD691 display is steady and quick responding. The extra zero may be switched on to display ±19,999(0).


Field Selectable Excitation Power Supply

The internal power supply can provide either 5, 10, or 24 VDC power, (field select). Typical use for the 5 or 10 VDC supply is to power a strain gauge. The 24 VDC supply may be used to power the 4-20 mA output option. This standard feature saves time and money by simplifying wiring and eliminating the cost of an external power supply.

Peak Hold

The peak-hold feature captures the highest displayed value and stores it in memory for later viewing. By entering the
routine the operator can display the peak value. a green LED labeled P will illuminate indicating the display is showing the peak value. Pressing the enter button again and entering the routine will cause the last stored peak value to be erased from memory and a new peak value to be captured.

Tare

The PD691 can be set for either Capture or Programmable Tare. Capture Tare sets a currently displayed reading to zero via the front panel Tare button. The operator may reset Capture Tare at any time in the field. Programmable Tare will automatically subtract a set tare value from the actual reading. A green LED labeled T will illuminate indicating the display is showing a tared value.

Ratiometric Operation

Ratiometric operation allows the meter to compensate for small fluctuations in the excitation power supply. A voltage drift of ±10% will not affect the display value of the PD691 when in Ratiometric mode. Selecting normal operation results in the unit not compensating for voltage fluctuations. The display value will shift as the voltage changes.


4 Visual Alarms Standard

Every PD691 comes standard with 4 independent alarms. Each alarm is easily programmed for high or low set point and 0-100% deadband. Front panel alarm status LEDs assist in set/reset point programming and are perfect for visual-indication-only applications. Options are available for 2 and 4 relays.


Alarm/Relay Programming

Pressing the ENTER button when the display reads initiates a scan of the alarm set and reset points. First, the display flashes Alarm #1 Set Point and indicates this by illuminating 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 illuminating
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.

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

Displaying non-linear signals is a snap with the linearization feature. The user can input up to 11 calibration points and corresponding displays to handle a wide variety of non-linear signal applications.


OPTIONS

The PD691 Strain Gauge Meter can be equipped with options for 2 or 4 relay contacts and isolated 4-20 mA transmitter output. These options may be combined in any configuration to satisfy a wide variety of applications. In fact, a fully loaded model PD691-3-18 includes linearization, 4 relays and isolated 4-20 mA transmitter output.


Relay Options

The PD691 is available with 2 or 4 SPDT relays. The relays are rated 2 A @ 250 VAC, can be programmed for automatic reset or automatic + manual reset, and for 0-100% deadband.


Isolated 4-20 mA Output Option

The PD691 can be equipped with an isolated 4-20 mA output signal option that can be programmed to produce a 4-20 mA output signal 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 a strain gauge.
The 4-20 mA output provides 500 VDC or peak AC, input-to-output or input/output-to-power isolation.

Notes:
1. Alarm acknowledgement terminals (ACK and COM) located on the main board.
2. In alarm condition, NC contact is connected to common in the fail-safe mode.
