A new generation of two-wire loop-powered indicators have been designed to minimise the space required behind a display panel.
A new generation of two-wire loop-powered indicators just released by Amalgamated Instrument Co have been designed to minimise the space required behind a display panel.
Approximately 75mm depth from the front of the panel is all that is required to accommodate the indicator and associated wiring.
Two models are available.
The PM6-LP-4C has four digits and offers an accurate, reliable indicator with a wealth of features.
The display can be scaled to read in engineering units without special tools or test equipment.
Two remote inputs can each be programmed to provide one of a "display hold", a "peak hold", a "maximum" or "minimum" function.
The display is four-digit 12.7mm LCD.
The PM6-LP-6C is a six-digit process display that can also be configured for rate and total functions from the 4-20mA input.
The display can be scaled to read in engineering units.
Different engineering units can be displayed for rate and total.
For example, the PM6-LP-6C can be configured to display litres per minute for the rate display and kilolitres for the total display The six-digit model also has two remote inputs to further enhance its flexibility.
The remote inputs can be set to one of the functions as for the four-digit model with the addition of a "clear total" function.
The display is a six-digit 12.7mm LCD.
An effective feature is a programmable high overrange or low overrange indication.
The indicators can be programmed to either flash the display with the value or "or" when the indicated value goes above a configured value or below a configured value.
These values need not be set (the functions can be turned on or off independently).
This feature enhances the functionality of the indicators by providing a visual indication of a situation that may need attention.
These loop-powered displays have a 96 x 48mm bezel (standard 1/8 DIN) and require a cutout of 92 x 44mm.
A clear plastic access cover is available to provide IP65 environmental protection, if required.
These units are ideal in situations where a standard depth panel cannot be accommodated.
Both displays are powered by the signal loop and require no other power input.
They can function on a 4-20 or 10-50mA loop (user selectable).
