2 Product Description
2.1 Introduction
The Tek-LCD 7802A is a plastic field mounted loop-powered rate/totalizer fully featured for
demanding applications in the harshest environmental conditions. The meter derives all of its
power from the 4-20 mA loop. It is programmed using the four through-window buttons, without
removing the cover, and can be scaled with or without a calibration signal. The numeric rate display
will read up to 99999 and the alphanumeric total/tag display will read up to 9999999. The
alphanumeric display can also be programmed to show any combination of numbers and letters up
to seven characters long for use as engineering units and/or the process identification tag. The
backlight lets you see the display under any lighting condition and can be powered from either the
4-20 mA loop or from a separate DC power supply.
The enclosure has three threaded conduit holes, integrated pipe or wall mounting flanges, and
allows for easy installation of tamper seals.
2.2 Specifications
Except where noted all specifications apply to operation at +25°C.

generate one pulse every time the total is incremented by 100 units).
If the pulse output exceeds the programmed output frequency, pulses
are accumulated as pending and are not lost. Pulses will continue to
output until the buffer is emptied or the total is reset from the front
panel.

3.1 Input Signal & Backlight Connections
Signal and backlight connections are made to a four-terminal connector mounted in the base of the
enclosure. For installations without backlight, only the two signal terminals are connected. The 4-20
mA input with no backlight has a maximum voltage drop of 3 V and is wired as shown in Figure 2.
The loop-powered backlight configuration requires a total maximum voltage drop of 6 V. The
backlight is recommended for dim lighting conditions and is enabled when wired as shown in Figure
3 or Figure 4.
