Hazardous Area

The ProtEX+ loop-powered explosion-proof & intrinsically safe meters can be installed virtually anywhere to provide convenient and informative display of any 4-20 mA signal. They can operate down to -40°C and be installed in areas that get as cold as -55°C, however the display will cease functioning. One of the most convenient features is the dual-line display, typically used to display the process variable on the 5-character alphanumeric top display and the units of measure or tag on the 8-character alphanumeric bottom display. Feet and inches models display level in feet and inches on the top display while the 8-digit alphanumeric bottom line may be used to display a tag or custom message. Further enhancing the display on these instruments is a 20-segment bargraph.

The ProtEX+ carries all major approvals including:

•  UL Listed as Explosion-Proof / Dust Ignition-Proof / Flame-Proof
•  CSA Certified as Explosion-Proof / Dust Ignition-Proof / Flame-Proof
•  ATEX and IECEx Certified as Intrinsically Safe / Explosion-Proof

Four CapTouch through-glass buttons are available to operate the instrument without removing the cover. Free, PC-based, MeterView XL software that connects to the meter via a micro USB cable is available for programming and setup of the meters.

All models come equipped with two open collector outputs and a digital input. There are also models available with two solid-state relays and isolated 4-20 mA analog output options.

The PD6938 ProtEX+ pulse input flow rate/totalizers can be installed in a variety of areas (hazardous, dirty, wet, corrosive, hot, or cold) to provide convenient and informative display of flow rate and total from any pulse output flowmeter. These instruments will accept a variety of pulse inputs, including slow pulse rates. They can be powered from a battery, 9-30 VDC, or the 4-20 mA output loop, have on-board datalogging capabilities, come with explosion-proof approvals, and can be ordered with optional 4-20 mA output and two relays.

The PD6938 can operate down to -40°C and is certified by the agencies to be installed in areas that get as cold as -55°C.

The PD6938 ProtEX+ is available in aluminum and stainless steel enclosures that are designed for easy use and installation. The process connection is available in M20, 3/4" NPT and 1" NPT and there are two other conduit holes for field wiring.

Free, PC-based, MeterView XL software that connects to the meter via a micro-USB cable is available for programming and setup of the instruments. Four CapTouch through-window buttons are available to operate the instrument without removing the cover.

All models come equipped with two open collector outputs and a digital input. There are also models available with Modbus RTU RS-485 communications, two solid-state relays, and isolated 4-20 mA analog output options.

The PD6938-IS is ATEX and IECEx Certified as Intrinsically Safe.

It can operate down to -40°C and is certified by the agencies to be installed in areas that get as cold as -55°C. The display will cease functioning below -40°C but no damage will be done to the instrument.

The ProtEX PD6830X is an explosion-proof, RS485 serial input Modbus® RTU scanner capable of scanning up to 16 Modbus variables and displaying them on an easy-to-read, dual-line, LCD display. This Modbus scanner can be programmed as a Modbus RTU master, slave, or snooper. The PD6830X is available in two upper display line configurations: 5-digit decimal display and feet & inches display with bar graph. The lower line is the same for both versions and consists of seven alphanumeric characters.

The ProtEX PD6830X carries all major approvals including:

•  FM Approved as Explosion-Proof / Dust Ignition-Proof / Flame-Proof •  CSA Certified as Explosion-Proof / Dust Ignition-Proof / Flame-Proof •  ATEX and IECEx Certified as Explosion-Proof

Two features that really make the PD6830X stand out are its wide viewing angle display and SafeTouch through-glass buttons. These buttons allow the PD6830X to be programmed and operated through the glass, thus eliminating the need to remove the cover in a hazardous area.
