Introduction

The ProtEX MAX PD8-6060 is an explosion-proof dual-input process meter that accepts and displays two analog inputs, such as 4-20 mA or 0-10 V. In its simplest configuration, the meter can display these two inputs at the same time on its dual-line display in user desired engineering units. For more demanding applications, the meter can display a mathematical function of these two inputs such as addition, difference, average, multiplication and more. The meter is ideal for level, flow rate, temperature, or pressure transmitter applications.

The meter features a dual-line display, with a main display 0.60" (15 mm) high, and a second display of 0.46" (12 mm) high superluminous LED digits, which can be read in any lighting condition, including direct sunlight. The meter is housed in an explosion-proof, NEMA 4X/IP68 rated enclosure, available in aluminum or stainless steel, for convenient indoor and outdoor installation.

The ProtEX-MAX is available in two configurations: display only and fully loaded. A fully loaded ProtEX-MAX PD8-6060-6H7 meter comes with four SPDT relays, a 4-20 mA output, five digital inputs and four digital outputs, and RS-485 serial communications.

The four relays can be used for alarm indication or process control applications such as pump alternation control. The 4-20 mA isolated output, Modbus RTU serial communications, and digital I/O features make the ProtEX-MAX an excellent addition to any system.

ATEX/IECEx Specific Conditions of Use:
  1. The equipment label and epoxy coating may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charges under certain extreme conditions. The user should ensure that the equipment is not installed in a location where it may be subjected to external conditions (such as high-pressure steam) which might cause a build-up of electrostatic charges on non-conducting surfaces. Additionally, cleaning of the equipment should be done only with a damp cloth.
  2. Flameproof joints are not intended to be repaired.
  3. All entry closure devices shall be suitably certified as “Ex d”, “Ex t” and “IP66/68” as applicable. Suitable thread sealing compound (non-setting, non-insulating, non-corrosive, not solvent based, suitable for the ambient rating) must be used at the NPT conduit entries to achieve the IPx8 rating while maintaining the Ex protection concept.
Year of Construction

This information is contained within the serial number with the first four digits representing the year and month in the YYMM format.

For European Community:

The ProtEX-MAX must be installed in accordance with the ATEX directive 2014/34/EU, and the product certificate Sira 12ATEX1182X.

Note: This tab applies to the entire product series and may contain information that is not relevant to this particular model number.

Applications


Signal Input Conditioning

Non-linear input signals (i.e. weirs & flumes, differential pressure, etc.) can be linearized with the ProtEX-MAX's simple to use built-in signal input conditioning, such as: square-root extractor, exponential linearizer, horizontal round tank linearizer, or the ProtEX-MAX powerful general purpose 32-point linearizer.

Multi-Pump Alternation

For pump control applications where 2 or more similar pumps are used to control the level of a tank or a well, it is desirable to have the pumps operate alternately; this prevents excessive wear and overheating of one pump over the lack of use of the others. The ProtEX-MAX can accommodate up to 8 pumps. In the example below, a pair of relays have been set up to alternate every time an on/off pump cycle is completed. Another pair of relays is used for low and high alarms.
