FEATURES

Precision Digital’s loop-powered flow rate totalizers allow you to display flow rate and total just about anywhere. First, there’s no AC or battery power to worry about because these meters are completely loop-powered. Second, these meters operate in a wide variety of lighting conditions because LCDs work great in bright sunlight and the optional loop-powered backlighting works great in dimly lit areas. Third, there are three types of enclosures to choose from: Standard 1/8 DIN Panel Mount, NEMA 4X, and Explosion-Proof.

Note: For complete installation information see instruction manuals below


SINGLE BUTTON SCALING

Single Button Scaling means the meter can be completely programmed using only one button. Simply press the front panel button to initiate the automatic menu scan. When the desired menu appears press the button again. Once in a menu, press the front panel button when the display reads the desired value. It’s that simple! Push front panel button - Display scrolls through programming routine.

Non-Volatile Memory

All programming and total values are stored in non-volatile memory. This means that the total will remain in memory for a minimum of ten years even if power is removed from the unit. Unlike some brands, these
totalizers do NOT require a battery so you don’t need to worry about losing valuable information when power is lost.


Totalizes All the Time

No need to worry about missing some counts. These totalizers will continue to count and totalize even while in the calibration or setup mode. So if you need to change the cutoff value and you can’t stop the flow, go right ahead, the meter will still totalize in the background.


Alternating Rate/Total Display

These totalizers can be programmed so the display automatically changes between displaying rate and total every 10 seconds. This feature is particularly useful if the meters are mounted inside a NEMA 4X or an explosion-proof enclosure.


Lockout and Menu-Title Disabling

The ability to modify programming values can be restricted by installing the lockout jumper on JP1.
When installed the Lockout Jumper disables the user’s ability to program the following functions:Loop-Powered Flow Rate/Totalizers: Calibrate,Loop-Powered Flow Rate/Totalizers: Totalizer Text,Loop-Powered Flow Rate/Totalizers: Totalizer Text,Loop-Powered Flow Rate/Totalizers: Totalizer Text,Loop-Powered Flow Rate/Totalizers: Totalizer Text,Loop-Powered Flow Rate/Totalizers: Totalizer Text, and Loop-Powered Flow Rate/Totalizers: Pulse Text.

In addition the following menu titles can be toggled On/Off when the lockout jumper is installed:,, and.


Isolated Open Collector Pulse Output

This feature will produce one pulse output per a given number of counts (user select). For example, these meters can be programmed to produce one pulse for every 500 gallons totalized. This output can be sent to a PLC or a counter.


Square Root Extraction

The square root extraction feature displays flow rate by extracting the square root from a differential pressure transmitter signal. The user selectable low-flow cutoff feature gives a reading of zero when the flow rate drops below a user selectable set point.

  • Displays Flow Rates
  • User Selectable Low-Flow Cutoff
  • Only 2 Calibration Points Required

Loop-Powered Rate/Totalizer Differential Pressure TransmitterTotalizer Conversion Factor

The totalizer conversion factor is a number which is multiplied by the rate to compute total. For example, if the rate display is gallons per hour and total is desired in liters, a factor of 3.785 should be used. If the rate display is gallons per hour and total is desired in gallons, a factor of 1 should be used.



SIGNAL CONNECTIONS

NOTE: When using a four-wire connect the transmitter’s positive terminal to S+ and the negative to S

Loop Powered Flow Rate/Totalizer Magnetic Reed Switch Operation
MAGENTIC REED SWITCH OPERATION

The PD698 has a magnetic reed switch that allows the user to program and operate the meter without having to remove the enclosure cover.

SPECIFICATIONS

General

Except where noted all specifications apply to operation at +25°C.

Display: 0.5" (12.7 mm) LCD, 6 digits
Rate: 0 to 19,999. Total: 0 to 999,999
Linear Input Accuracy: ±0.05% FS ±1 count
