The Next Generation of Dual-Line Intelligent Panel Meters

Davis Instruments now offers the latest in two-line intelligent panel meter technology. The Red Lion’s PAX2A is designed for applications in which two parameters need to be visualised at the same time, such as reading a flow rate through a pipeline while totalising the gallons, or indicating the temperature of an oven while displaying the set point value.

The unit’s main LCD offers three programmable colours - red, orange and green - so users can easily identify process control variables. The input, total, min, max or set points can be displayed on the 0.7"-high 6-digit display. The colour change can be tied to the set points that will provide a visual display of changing conditions in the application. The second display line, a 0.35"-high 9-digit, green LCD, offers the same programmability. The 9-digit display allows for totalising application that easily exceeds the normal 6-digit displays. In addition to the dual displays, the meter offers a 3-digit programmable mnemonic cue, allowing users to add identification to the display value.

The meter accepts DC currents, DC voltages, process signals, thermocouples and RTD temperature sensors, and offers a universal power input as well.
