The Sabre P process meter is easily programmed using the
four front panel buttons. There are no jumpers or switches to
configure and there is no need to ever open the case.
Front Panel Buttons
User Friendly Menu Structure
To simplify programming, one menu handles all the setup
functions.
• Press the Menu button to enter or exit the Programming
Mode at any time.
• Press the Right arrow button to move to the next digit
during digit programming.
• Press the Up arrow button to scroll through the menus,
decimal point, or to increment the value of a digit.
• Press the Enter/Ack button to access a menu or to
accept a setting.
Menu Structure
The menu consists of the following functions: Setup,
Program, and Password. Press the Menu button to enter
the Programming Mode then press the Up arrow button to
scroll through the menu.
The Setup menu is used to select the input signal and
decimal point. The Program menu is used to scale or
calibrate the meter. The Password menu is used to
program a password.
The display moves to the next menu after the Enter/ACK
button is pressed.
Setting Numeric Values
The numeric values are set using the Right and Up arrow
buttons. Press the Right arrow button to select next digit
and the Up arrow button to increment the digit value.
The digit being changed is displayed brighter than the rest.
Press the Enter/ACK button, at any time, to accept a setting
or the Menu button to exit without saving the changes.
SIMPLE OPERATION
Look to the Sabre P process meter for the key features
you want and don’t worry about getting bogged down in
a confusing array of things you don’t need. The Sabre P
provides all the utility needed to handle your application with
accuracy and simplicity.
Maximum/Minimum Readings
To display the maximum and minimum readings since the
last reset/power-up, use the Up arrow/Max button.
QUICK INSTALLATION
The Sabre P is housed in a 1/8 DIN shallow depth case that is
designed for easy installation and servicing. The extra large
front bezel is rated Type 4X, IP65. The mounting brackets
are locked in place to make it easy to mount the meter in
the panel. The removable screw terminal connectors make
for easy and convenient wiring.

SABRE P • MODEL PD603 PROCESS METER
PROCESS INPUTS
The Sabre P meter is factory calibrated to accept 0-20,
4-20 mA, 0-5, 1-5, 0-10, and ±10 VDC. The meter can
be scaled with or without applying an input signal for any
display range required.
Current & Voltage Inputs
Setting up the meter to accept current or voltage input could
not be easier. All setup is performed with the front panel
buttons and there are no switches or jumpers to deal with.
The removable screw terminal connectors are clearly
labeled to prevent wiring errors.

OPTIONAL FIELD ENCLOSURES
The Sabre P process meter is available with a wide variety of
NEMA 4, NEMA 4X, and explosion-proof enclosures.
NEMA 4 & NEMA 4X Enclosures
The NEMA 4 and NEMA 4X enclosures are available
in stainless steel, steel, and plastic. They come with
pre-punched 1/8 DIN cutouts for up to ten meters. The
meters are mounted in the enclosure door so they can be
programmed without opening the enclosure. Options include
2" pipe mounting kits and engraved plastic labels.
Visit our website www.predig.com for complete details and
specifications of the NEMA 4 & NEMA 4X Enclosures.
Low-Cost Plastic NEMA 4X Enclosure
The PDA2801 is a
low-cost, compact,
plastic NEMA 4X
enclosure that will
house one meter.

Current Overload Protection
To protect the meter from unexpected current overload the
current input circuit contains an auto-resettable fuse. The
fuse limits the current to a safe level when it detects a fault
condition, and automatically resets itself when the fault
condition is removed.
