The DP6070 temperature 
meter boasts specifications and 
functionality that clearly makes 
it one of the most advanced 
temperature meters available. 
It’s dual-line 6-character display, 
function keys, and optional 
expansion modules are only a few 
of the special features available.
The DP6070 accepts many  
thermocouple types and RTDs and 
can be configured to have either 
a 1° or 0.1° display resolution 
on any type of sensor input. The 
lower display makes configuration 
simpler. The display itself is quite 
configurable. There are many 
relay functions for up to 8 relays; 
including an Interlock Relay 
function. The 4 to 20 mA output 
can represent up to 12 different 
parameters/variables. This makes 
the DP6070 one of the most 
versatile meters on the market. 
Sunlight readable display models 
have an extraordinarily bright 
LED display. The upper display 
can be programmed to indicate 
current temperature, maximum or 
minimum temperature, alternating 
maximum/minimum temperatures, 
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. Input selection and 
configuration are conveniently 
set up via rear switches and 
front panel programming. Three 
levels of password protection 
help maintain the reliability of the 
programming.

Meter Copy 
The Copy feature is used to copy (or 
clone) all the settings from one DP6070  
to other DP6070 meters in about 
20 seconds! The Copy function is a 
standard feature on all meters. It does 
not require a communications adapter, 
only an optional cable assembly, model 
number DPA1200. See the ordering 
information for complete details
