Precision Digital PD6200 ProVu Analog Input Flow Rate Totalizer

The Precision Digital PD6200 is a member of the ProVu series of 1/8 DIN digital panel meters that is specifically designed to display flow rate and totalizer from an analog output (4-20 mA, 1-5 V, 0-5 V, etc.) flowmeter. It displays that signal on a dual-line, 6-digit display that is available with optional Sunbright® sunlight-readable LEDs. Flow rate is typically displayed on the upper line, and the cumulative total is displayed on the lower line. The total overflow feature allows up to a 9-digit total and grand total to be displayed. Like all ProVu meters, the PD6200 includes CE Marking and UL / C-UL listing, a NEMA 4X front, and AC or DC power options. Precision Digital ProVu meters can be equipped with up to four internal relays, a 4-20 mA output, and Modbus® RTU serial communications. The PD6200 includes a 24 VDC transmitter power to drive the flowmeter and can be programmed via the front panel pushbuttons or free MeterView® Pro software.

Applications

Differential Pressure Flow

The PD6200 can display flow rate and total by extracting the square root from the 4-20 mA 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 selectable value.

  • Display Flow Rate
  • User Selectable Low-Flow Cutoff
  • Only 2 Calibration Points Required

Convert Pulse to 4-20 mA with PD6300

The PD6300 accepts the pulse output from a flowmeter and with the appropriate option installed can convert the pulse to a 4-20 mA signal. The 4-20 mA signal can be programmed to correspond to either the flow rate or the total flow.

  • Use K-Factor or Multi-Point Scaling
  • ProVu Powers the Flowmeter
  • Display Flow Rate & Total

Open Channel Flow

The PD6200, in combination with an ultrasonic level transmitter, makes for an economical way to measure and display open channel flow rate and total in most weirs and flumes and take periodic samples. All the user needs to do is enter the exponent for the weir or flume into the PD6200 and the PD6200 automatically raises the input signal to that power. Sampling can be based on the total flow or the flow rate. For instance, to display open channel flow rate and total from a 3 inch Parshall flume and take a one pint sample every 100,000 gallons, the user would program the PD6200 as follows:

Function Desire Programming
Open Channel Flow 3″ Parshall flume Set Programmable Exponent to 1.547
Flow Rate Millions of Gallons per Day (MGD) Set 4 mA = 0 & 20 mA = 3.508
Time base = Day
Total Millions of Gallons Set Totalizer Conversion Factor = 1
(password protect total reset)
Non-Resettable Grand Total Program meter so grand total can never be reset Set non-resettable grand total password
Display Display Flow Rate and Total at the same time Set main display for Grand Total and secondary display to toggle between rate and total
Sampling Take a 1 pint sample every 100,000 gallons Set up relay for sampling and to trip every 0.1 million gallons. Set up sampling time such that 1 pint is sampled
Relay Sample Total
Total Relay Sampling Operation

MeterView® Pro Software

MeterView® Pro software is designed for use with ProVu, ProtEX-MAX, or Helios Series meters and allows users to remotely program, monitor, and datalog using a PC. Remote programming allows for all available meter settings to be programmed through an easy, user-friendly interface. The data acquisition feature allows the user to gather readings from a meter at user-selected intervals and generate charts using common tools like Microsoft® Excel. A linearization setup function is also included. With this utility the user can configure up to 32 linearization points and upload them to the meter. All configuration data can be saved to a file for future use.
This software is accessible via the onboard USB connection on all Helios large display meters, ProVu panel meters, and ProVu-based ProtEX-MAX explosion-proof meters produced since 6 September 2016 (firmware version 4.0 or higher). In order for meters produced prior to 6 September 2016 (firmware version 3.1 or lower) to establish digital communications with a PC, a serial communications adapter is required. For an RS-232 connection, use a PDA1232 adapter.
To determine the software version of a meter:

  1. Go to the Diagnostics menu () and press Enter button.
  2. Press Up arrow button and scroll to Information menu (Info).
  3. Press Enter to access the software number (), version (), and serial number () information. Write down the information as it is displayed. Continue pressing Enter until all the information is displayed.
  4. The meter returns to Run Mode after displaying all the settings.
