Accessories & Modifications ProVu Expansion Modules

Accessories & Modifications
Precision Digital offers accessories & modifications that expand the usefulness of your digital panel meters and controllers. You can enhance your existing meters to meet new process challenges with our upgrade cards and DIN rail mountable expansion modules. Our panel and pipe mounting kits allow you to put your meter exactly where it needs to go. Serial communication adapters allow you to program many of our digital meters and controllers from a desktop PC and integrate them into a digital Modbus® network.

Accessories & Modifications ProVu Expansion Modules

  • The PDA1004 four relay external expansion module adds four 3 amp Form A (SPST) relays to any ProVu meter. It can be configured for functions similar to the ProVu onboard relays and can be added at any time.

  • The PDA1011 analog output external expansion module adds an additional 2 analog outputs to any dual-input ProVu meter or ProVu Modbus® scanner (i.e. PD6060, PD6080, PD6081, PD6088, PD6089, PD6262, or PD6363). It can be configured for functions similar to the ProVu onboard analog output and can be added at any time.

  • The PDA1044 digital I/O external expansion module adds four digital inputs and four digital outputs to any ProVu meter. Up to two digital I/O expansion modules may be added to each meter, for a total of eight (8) additional digital inputs and outputs per meter. External digital inputs function similarly to the F4 digital input on most ProVu models. They can be configured to trigger events (e.g. acknowledge/reset alarms, reset max and/or min values, disable/enable all output relays), provide specific menu access, or mimic front keys. Digital outputs can be used to remotely monitor alarm relay states or the states of a variety of actions and functions executed by the meter.

  • The PDA1232 converts the serial output of the ProVu meter to an unbalanced, full-duplex RS-232 signal. The RS-232 port has a female DB9 connector with pins 2 (RX output), 3 (TX input), and 5 (Signal Ground). Pins 7 (RTS) and 8 (CTS) are tied together, and pins 1 (CD), 4 (DTR), and 6 (DSR) are tied together. The adapter is powered by the ProVu meter M-Link connection. The PDA1232 has three diagnostic LEDs: a Power (P) LED to show when the adapter is powered properly, a Transmit Data (TX) LED to show when the adapter is sending data out from the PC side, and a Receive Data (RX) LED to show when the adapter is receiving data from the ProVu meter.

  • The PDA1485 converts the serial output of the ProVu meter to balanced, full or half-duplex RS-485 signals. The PDA1485 has a removable screw terminal connector for the RS-485 terminals which includes Transmit Data (DO) and (/DO), Receive Data (DI) and (/DI), and Signal Ground. The adapter is provided by the ProVu meter M-Link connection. The PDA1485 has three diagnostic LEDs: a Power (P) LED to show when the adapter is powered properly, a Transmit Data (TX) LED to show when the adapter is sending data out from the PC side, and a Receive Data (RX) LED to show when the adapter is receiving data from the ProVu meter.
