Applications

Master or Slave

The PD865 Snooper Modbus Serial Input Meter can be programmed as a Modbus RTU Master or Slave. As a Master, the Snooper reads a slave device, scales the data from it, displays the result, and operates the internal relays and 4-20 mA output. As a Slave, it is controlled by a master device. The data sent to it by the master is scaled, displayed, and used to operate the relays and 4-20 mA output.

Alternate up to Four pumps


The Snooper, in conjunction with a Modbus output level transmitter, can be used to control and alternate up to four pumps. In the application below, the Snooper’s two Form C relays are being used to control and alternate the Main and Backup pumps, and the Snooper’s two Form A relays are being used for High and Low Alarm.





Multi-Point Linearization

The Snooper’s multi-point linearization feature can be used to display the volume in a round horizontal tank or any other non-linear vessel. In addition, it can generate a 4-20 mA output that is linear to volume.


Field Enclosures


The meter is available with a wide variety of NEMA 4, NEMA 4X, & explosion-proof enclosures. NEMA 4 & NEMA 4X Enclosures
The NEMA 4 and NEMA 4X enclosures are available in plastic stainless steel, and steel. They come with pre-punched 1/8 DIN cutouts for up to ten meters. The meters are mounted in the enclosure door and can be programmed without opening the enclosure. Options include 2" pipe mounting kits and engraved plastic labels.
