The ProtEX-MAX PD8-765 explosion-proof, large-display, process and temperature meter offers all the functionality of the PD765 Trident as a CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certified explosion-proof product. The PD8-765's huge 1.2" (30.5 mm) sunlight readable display is visible from over 30 feet away. This explosion-proof indicator can be field programmed to accept process voltage (0-5 V, 1-5 V, etc.) and current (4-20 mA) inputs, 100 Ohm RTDs, and the four most common thermocouples.

There are two power options for the ProtEX-MAX: 85 to 265 VAC or 12-36 VDC and the AC powered version can provide 24 VDC to power the transmitter if needed. Programming and setup can be performed with the four CapTouch through-glass buttons, free MeterView software, or using the Copy function.

Two relays and isolated 4-20 mA output options increase the utility of the PD8-765. The relays can be used for alarm or control applications. The 4-20 mA output provides an isolated retransmission of the input signal; especially useful for temperature inputs like thermocouples and RTDs. Now you can have an explosion-proof temperature transmitter with a huge, bright display! It is housed in an explosion-proof housing with convenient mounting flanges, available in aluminum or stainless steel.

The PD8-765 ProtEX-MAX display height is an astounding 1.2" (30.5 mm). It can be read easily from distances of up to 30 feet away! The display intensity function allows the selection of eight levels of intensity for various lighting conditions, including direct sunlight.
