TEMPERATURE DISPLAY, CONTROLLER & TRANSMITTER APPLICATIONS

Applications

Overview
Local & PC monitoring
Bearing temperature monitoring Wax Reclaim Temperatures
Battery powered temperature indicator Stator temperatures on a blower
Steam boiler temperature panel Temperature transmitters with digital displays
Temperature controllers Annunciator for temperature switches

Overview



Precision Digital offers a wide variety of meters, indicators, controllers, and transmitters to satisfy just about any temperature application. Our Trident line of digital panel meters can be set up in the field for thermocouple or RTD inputs. Our Nova line of PID temperature controllers are high accuracy, full-featured controllers available in ramp & soak, programmable, and limit controller configurations. One particularly useful feature of the Fluidwell F-Series temperature indicators is that they can be battery powered. All of these products can be equipped with a 4-20 mA output; resulting in a temperature transmitter. Space holder

Bearing temperature monitoring




PD765 and PD138 being used on Ferry boat The enviroment PDC products have hold up in

In this application, a PD138 Minimux scanner and a PD765 temperature meter are being used to scan and check alarm conditions of bearing temperatures on a ferry boat engine. When an RTD is switched to the PD765 that exceeds the setpoint, a relay in the PD765 trips and causes a horn to sound and a beacon to light.

Local Temperature Display & Remote PC Monitoring


Say you have an application where you want to display the temperature in 6 different ovens right on the shop floor and also display the data and collect it on your computer back in your office. You can do this with Precision Digital's Trident meter and MeterView® software. We can also provide the enclosure and the engraved labels so you have everything you need! MeterView software even allows you to remotely acknowledge relays.



  • Up to 100 temperature inputs
  • Remote PC Display
  • Data Acquisition
  • Acknowledge relays remotely
  • Save data to a file

Temperature transmitters with digital displays

PD312 HART Transmitter & Remote Display

PD300 Current Setup

In this application the Smart HART Explosion-Proof Temperature Transmitter is being powered by the PD6000 dual-scale meter; the meter displays the temperature on the top and the mA current on the bottom display. A PLC, DCS, or other devices could be connected in the loop as shown. The 250 ohm resistor is the minimum loop resistance needed for HART communication with a HART modem or a HART communicator.

PD306 HART Head Transmitter & Remote Display

PD300 Current Setup

In this application the Smart Transmitter is mounted in the explosion-proof protection head and is being powered by the PD6000 dual-scale meter. The HART communicator and HART modem are used during configuration or troubleshooting


Annunciator For Temperature Switch Monitoring



The Vigilante® II annunciators are compact, panel-space saving, easy to use annunciators available in models to handle either four or eight temperature switches. Each switch can have its own custom message, such as "High Temp Oven One", on the Vigilante. When a temperature switch trips, the LED for that input flashes, a horn sounds and a relay transfers. The Vigilante annunciator can even indicate which switch tripped first.


  • Monitors four or eight temperature switches
  • First-out indication for troubleshooting
  • Powers the temperature switch
  • Free custom message labels
  • Built-in horn
  • Two Form C 2 A relays
  • Shallow Depth 1/8 DIN Case
