Overview

The ProVu PD6402 is a True RMS High Voltage & mV to Current Meter and is an ideal replacement for the discontinued Bitronics GSDIE1. It will simultaneously measure a direct line voltage up to 300 V and a current shunt output up to 150 mV. The mV input can be scaled to represent current (A). The PDA6018 adapter plate allows for use of existing mounting cutouts. Extra bright LEDs make for easy reading, even in adverse lighting conditions. The PD6402 is frequently used to monitor field excitation voltage and current during start up and shut down of generating equipment.

Power Connections

Power connections are made to a two-terminal connector labeled POWER. The meter will operate regardless of DC polarity connection. The + and - symbols are only a suggested wiring convention. There are separate models for low voltage and high voltage power. See Ordering Information for details.

Signal Connections

Signal connections are made to a four-terminal connector labeled SIGNAL. The mV+ and mVterminals are used for Channel A (CH-A) as the mV input terminals for the signal generated by a current shunt. The V+ and V- terminals are used for Channel V (CH-V) as the voltage input terminals.

In addition to the signal connections, the switch labeled TYPE must be set to AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) to accept the corresponding type of voltage and current signals.

Voltage Input
