Explosion-Proof

The ProtEX+ loop-powered explosion-proof & intrinsically safe flow rate/totalizers 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 flow rate on the 5-character alphanumeric top display and flow total, flow grand total, or tag on the 8-character alphanumeric bottom display. The top display uses 12-segment, and the bottom display uses 14-segment alphanumeric characters for clear indication of tags, units, or alarm messages. 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 relays can be programmed for alarm indication, sample, timer, batch control, or stopwatch.

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 9-30 VDC power supply or the 4-20 mA output loop, have on-board datalogging capabilities, come with explosion-proof and intrinsically safe approvals, and can be ordered with optional 4-20 mA output and two relays. The PD6938, with the addition of its two optional relays, can also be used as a simple batch controller.

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

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 ProtEX-Lite 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 Explosion-Proof

It is available in either an aluminum or stainless steel enclosure with ½" NPT or M20 threaded conduit openings. The PD663 is easy to install and program and the display can be seen in a variety of lighting conditions, even in bright sunlight. It will operate down to -40°C and is approved for installation in areas where the temperature gets as cold as -55°C, however the display will cease functioning.

The ProtEX-RTP PD6830 is an explosion-proof flow rate/totalizer that can display flow rate and total from a pulse output flowmeter. Its display has a five digit upper line for rate, a seven alpha-numeric character lower line for total, and comes standard with a backlight.

The ProtEX-RTP 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

It can be powered from an included battery or a 24 VDC external power supply. Some features that really make the PD6830 flow rate/totalizer stand out are its automatic unit conversions from flowmeter k-factor units, ability to log up to 1024 data points, and SafeTouch through-glass buttons. These buttons allow the PD6830 to be programmed and operated through the glass, thus eliminating the need to remove the cover in a hazardous area.
