Helios Meter shown with MOD-PD2LH Light / Horn Modification
UL Listing

What sets the Helios apart from other Large Display Meters is its dual line display with super bright LEDs that can be read even in bright sunlight and up to 100 feet away. Based on Precision Digital's popular line of ProVu® digital panel meters, the Helios can satisfy a wide variety of level, flow, temperature, pressure, & weight applications. It is available with models that accept 4-20 mA, thermocouple, RTD, pulse, strain gauge, AC and DC volts and current, and even Modbus®.

Go with the Helios PD2-7000 when you want to display temperature on a large display meter you can see from a distance. The PD2-7000 can accept a variety of thermocouples and RTDs and displays temperature on a six digit display. The PD2-7000's NEMA 4X, IP65 rated field mountable enclosure, super bright LEDs, and wide operating temperature range make it perfect for outdoor applications.
