Overview
The PDA3400 series of internally mounted plastic NEMA 4X enclosures for 1/8 DIN Digital Panel Meters and 1/4 DIN PID Controllers provide a convenient way to mount one, two or three Precision Digital meters / controllers to walls and other vertical structures. The PDA3400 series enclosures provide a greater degree of protection than other Precision Digital enclosures because the meters / controllers are mounted behind a clear polycarbonate cover. These enclosures also have room for a light / horn accessory. They also come pre-cut with 1/8 DIN or 1/4 DIN cutouts or they can be ordered with no cutouts / front plate. Mounting hardware is provided. The cover is secured with four screws. Optional pipe mounting kits are available for mounting the enclosures to 2" pipes. Enclosures, meters / controllers and accessories are ordered and packaged separately.

PDA3400 Series Enclosure with Light / Horn
PDA3407 Enclosure Shown with a ProVu Meter and MOD-LH Light / Horn and Reset Button. Meter & MOD-LH Sold Separately. Assembly Required.
Light / Horn Accessories
Precision Digital offers the PDA-LH, a Light / Horn that can be mounted to the PDA3407 and PDA3408 by the user. This Light / Horn can be wired to flash or stay steady on and the horn is rated at 85 dB. The light and horn can be controlled independently of each other via separate relays on the meter / controller such that the horn can be programmed to silence via a button mounted to the enclosure and the light can be programmed to stay on until the alarm clears.
The light / horn and button are all rated NEMA 4X or IP65. The following table illustrates a typical way the Light / Horn accessory can be wired and programmed using the four relays on the ProVu meter:
| Relay # | Connected to | Typical reset method (user selectable) |
| 1 | Flashing Light(1) | Auto reset |
| 2 | Horn | Silence with button at any time |
| 3 | User Device | As user desires |
| 4 | User Device | As user desires |
1. Light can be wired to flash or stay steady on
Notes:
- The Light / Horn accessory is powered from the 200 mA transmitter power supply; so when it is installed, there is less power available for the transmitter. See MOD-LH Series manual for details.
MOD-LH Light / Horn Accessories
When the MOD-LH is ordered, the enclosure comes pre-drilled with holes for the Light / Horn and Button to be installed by user. Meter / controller and enclosure are sold separately.
