Level

Level
Level is one of the most common applications for Precision Digital’s meters. Our most popular products can be used for level applications and we also have meters that are specifically intended for use in level systems. These digital panel meters and explosion-proof indicators communicate critical level information at eye-level to the operator, effectively increasing safety by eliminating the need for operators to climb the tanks. The level can also be controlled with the use of relays, open collector, or 4-20 mA analog outputs. Select products include specialized level features such as pump alternation control, unique feet & inches displays with clearly labeled units, and dual-scale level displays that show level in two units from a single transmitter signal.

  • The Loop Leader+ loop-powered large display meters
    can be installed virtually anywhere to provide convenient
    and informative display of any 4-20 mA signal. One of
    the most convenient features of these instruments is their
    large, dual line display. The 2.8" 5-digit top display is used
    to display the process variable while the 1.5" 8-character
    alphanumeric bottom display can be used to display the
    units of measure or a tag. 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 that also includes a numeric value of
    the percentage the bargraph represents.
    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.

    The PD4 is available in two configurations: Display only
    and with two solid-state relays and 4-20 mA analog output.
    All models come equipped with two open collector outputs
    and remote contacts. The open collector outputs are
    useful for alarm indication. The remote contacts can be
    used to remotely operate the four programming buttons, to
    acknowledge the relays, to start/stop a timer/stopwatch, and
    more. The relays can be programmed for alarm indication,
    on/off control, or pump alternation.

    Finally, there are intrinsically safe versions of these
    instruments that can be installed in hazardous areas.
