PD6870 Prot EX Far Vu Explosion Proof Loop Powered Meter 00742
The ProtEX-FarVu is a rugged explosion-proof, loop-powered meter with 1" display digits available in aluminum or stainless steel enclosures. It is ideal for demanding applications in hazardous areas or in the harshest environmental conditions. The PD6870 is housed in an IP68, aluminum enclosure and is FM Approved and CSA Certified as Explosion-Proof, Dust-Ignition Proof, and Flame-Proof, and ATEX & IECEx Certified as Flame-Proof. The PD6870-SS is housed in a 316 stainless steel enclosure and is CSA Certified as Explosion-Proof, Dust-Ignition Proof, and Flame-Proof.
 
The ProtEX-FarVu meters will operate down to -40°C and the PD6870-SS stainless steel models can be installed in areas where the temperature gets as cold as -55°C, however, the display will cease functioning. The meter derives all of its power from the 4-20 mA loop with a small 1 volt drop for easy installation in almost any system.
 
The meter is programmed using four easy to access front-mounted potentiometers with no complex or difficult to read programming menus necessary for setup.
 
The numeric display will read from -1000 to 1999 over a 2000 count user adjustable scaling span. The backlight feature lets you see the display under any lighting condition and is powered from the 4-20 mA loop with no additional power supply required. The backlight can be enabled or disabled via alternative wiring of terminal block. The enclosure is provided with two conduit openings and the cast-in mounting flanges on the enclosure make it convenient for pipe or wall mounting.
