6 Digit Universal Rate/ Totalizer/Batch Controller PD692 and PD693

The new Universal Rate/Totalizer Batch Controller may be used to display rate and total as well as provide simple automatic or manual batch control. Models are available for analog inputs such as pulse, open collector or switch closures. These meters feature a full six digit display, programmable time base of second, minute and hour, as well as a user programmable multiplier out to five decimal points. They also provide 24 VDC excitation for analog inputs and up to 50 mA for frequency/pulse inputs.

    • Total Displayed in any Engineering Unit

  • Low Flow Cutoff
  • 12 VDC @ 50 mA or 24 V @ 20 mA Field Selectable Power Supply
  • 2 or 4 Relay Output Options
  • 4-20 mA Output Option- Converts the pulse input to the PD693 into an isolated 4-20 mA output
 
Totalizer Factor The totalizer factor (multiplier) is a number which is multiplied by the rate to compute total. For example, if the rate display is gallons per hour and total is desired in liters, a factor of 3.785 should be used. If the rate display is gallons per hour and total is desired in gallons, a factor of 1 can be used.  
Stand Alone Scaling The PD692 and PD693 may be calibrated without applying an input. Simply select Internal Calibration (1-CAL) mode and set desired display to correspond to the high and low input values. To scale inputs such as 0-5V, 1-5V or 0-10 V without applying a signal it is necessary to first complete an Initial calibration. Peak Hold The peak hold feature captures the highest rate value and stores it in memory for later viewing. Push ENTER when meter reads dSPy P display peak reading. To erase the current peak value press ENTER when meter reads rSEt P and a new peak value will be captured.
Isolated 4-20 mA Transmitter Output
  • Re-transmit Rate
  • 4-20 mA or 20-4 mA Output
  • 500 VDC Isolation
  • With or Without Relay Contacts
  • Converts the pulse input to the PD693 into an isolated 4-20 mA output
Square Root Extraction
  • Displays Flow Rates
  • User Selectable Low Flow Cutoff
  • Only 2 calibration Points required
  • Accuracy
  • : +/-0.1% F.S. +/- 1 count from 10-100% of flow
11 Point User Calibration
  • Input up to 11 calibration Points
  • Perfect for Non-linear Signals
 
The square root extraction feature displays flow rate by extracting the square root of a signal from a differential pressure transmitter. The user selectable low flow cutoff feature gives a reading of zero when the flow rate drops below a user-set point.
2 Or 4 Relays The PD692 and PD693 can be equipped with 2 or 4 SPDT relays. Relay #1 and #2 are assigned to total and trip when total exceeds set point and reset when total is reset to zero. #2 relay is user programmable to reset total to zero when set point is reached. A 10 second delay will occur before relay #1 and #2 reset. Relays #3 and #4 are assigned to rate and may be programmed for high or low alarms with 0-100% dead-band.
  • 2 or 4 SPDT, 2 amps @ 240 VAC Resistive Load
  • Automatic or Automatic + Manual Reset
  • Fail-safe Action & Auto Initialization
  • 0-100% Dead-band Adjustment

Basic Meter

NEW 18-36 VDC POWERED
The PD692 Universal Rate/Totalizer can now be powered from 18-86 Vdc. This new option provides up to 500 Vdc of isolation. All the features and options available on the AC powered meters are available on the DC powered meters.

Note: 18-86 VDC powered meters are not UL listed.

Alternating Rate/Total Display
Now can be programmed so the display automatically changes between displaying rate and total every 10 seconds. This feature is particularly useful if the totalizer is mounted inside a NEMA 4X or explosion-proof enclosure.

Priority Batch Programming
Customers who are changing their hatch presets frequently have requested a quick way (without going into the main menu) to access only the batch preset values. Now, when they hold the ENTER button for '3 seconds, the display jumps right to the first batch preset value. After this preset value is programmed, the second hatch preset value appears. After it is programmed. the display returns to the process reading

Auto Batch Preset Tracking
Customers with batch control applications have also requested that they be able to program relay 01 so that it always trips at a programmed offset value before relay #2 trips. With this feature, a customer who is filling barrels of different volume need only change the value for relay 42 each time he fills a different size barrel. The meter will automatically adjust the preset value for relay #1 so it trips at the desired offset value below relay#2. For instance, say the customer is filling a 100 gallon barrel and the offset value is set at 5, relay # 1 will trip at 95 gallons. If relay #2 preset value is changed to 200 gallons, then delay #1 will automatically trip at 195 gallons

Programmable Relay Delay
A delay of between 1 and 999 seconds can be programmed between the time when preset value #2 is reached and when relays #1 and 02 reset. Previously, this was a fixed value of 10 seconds. This feature is only available on the PD693

Enhanced Lockout Capabilities
Customers have requested that they be able to disable certain menu titles that they don't want to appear during the normal menu scan. Customers have also requested that certain menu titles and the current programmed-value for these titles appear- but their ability to be changed be restricted. At the same time, they want a supervisor to be able to quickly and easily make changes. These requests led us to design a lockout scheme that protects more against accidental changes in programming or resetting, rather than deliberate ones.

Our lockout protects against the casual button-pusher but allows a supervisor to make changes from the front panel without having to remember a security password, or remove a lockout jumper at the rear of the instrument.

For more information on how the Menu-title disabling and Enhanced Lockout Capabilities work request "Totalizer Lockout Application Note".

K-factor Programming

The PD693 uses K-factor programming for easy one-step calibration. To calibrate the meter simply input the K-factor, which represents the number of pulses per some engineering unit. Next the customer programs the Time Base, which is the time units (second, minute, hour) in which the rate is displayed. And finally, the Totalizer Conversion Factor which allows the total to be displayed in any engineering unit, regardless of how the rate is displayed. Some customers prefer our two-point calibration method because it allows them to program a "zero" offset. This feature is a special order.
