The Precision Digital ProtEX+ series of hazardous area indicators boasts loop-powered, explosion-proof, dust-ignition proof, and flame-proof certifications. They can display any 4-20 mA signal with a dual-line display that shows the process variable on the 5-character top display and the units of measure or tag on the 8-character bottom display. The feet and inches models display level in feet and inches on the top display and the bottom line displays a tag or custom message. The display also features a 20-segment bargraph.

These meters boast certifications from CSA for explosion-proof, dust-ignition proof, and flame-proof operations and from ATEX and IECEx as intrinsically safe. They can operate in temperatures as low as -40°C, but the display will not function in areas as cold as -55°C.

The four CapTouch buttons enable operation without removing the cover and can be set to normal or delayed modes or disabled for security. All models come with two open collector outputs and a digital input. Some models also feature two solid-state relays and isolated 4-20 mA analog output options. The open collector outputs act as alarm indicators and the digital input can acknowledge relays, start/stop a timer/stopwatch, and more. The relays can be programmed for alarm indication, on/off control, or pump alternation.

For programming and setup, Precision Digital offers a free PC-based software called MeterView XL that connects to the meter via a micro USB cable. The software simplifies the programming process and saves configuration files, while also powering the meter during programming.
