The DP6000 Series meter boasts
specifications and functionality
that clearly make it one of the
most advanced process meters
available. Its dual-line 6-digit
display (999,999), advanced
signal input conditioning functions,
function keys, MODBUS RTU
serial communications, and
optional expansion modules
are only a few of the features
found on the DP6000. Sunlight
readable display models have an
extraordinarily bright LED display.
They are perfect for applications
where the meter is in direct
sunlight or in applications where
visibility may be impaired by
smoke, fog, dust, or distance.
The upper display can be
programmed to indicate PV,
maximum (peak), minimum
(valley), alternating maximum/
minimum, one of eight alarm
set points, or MODBUS input.
The lower display can also be
configured to display engineering
units, set points, user defined
legends, or simply turned off. The
user friendly dual-line display
makes the DP6000 easy to set
up and program. No jumpers to
set for input selection. All setup
and programming are done via
the front panel. Three levels of
password protection help maintain
the reliability of the programming.
The Copy feature is used to copy
(or clone) all the settings from
one DP6000 to other meters in
about 20 seconds! The Copy
function is a standard feature on
all meters. It does not require a
communications adaptor, only an
optional cable assembly.
