Section 1 - Introduction
The DP606A/DP612A Display Meter offers a flexible, easy to use 6 or 12 zone, 4 digit
temperature and process measurement solution in a rugged ¼ DIN Aluminum
housing. Selectable configuration eliminates the need for jumpers.
The DP606A supports 6 independent zones and the DP612A supports up to 12 zone
(3 wire RTD limited to 6 zones on all models). All zones are scanned at a 400ms rate.
The display shows the reading of each zone sequentially. High and low Alarms with
SPDT relay outputs are available for monitoring and alarm purposes.
The universal input supports 9 thermocouple types (J, K, T, E, R, S, B, C, and N), 2 or
3 wire RTDs (Pt 100, Ni 120, Cu 10), DC voltage (0-1 Vdc), or DC current (0 – 24 mA).
Independent alarms are available for each zone. Each alarm can be configured for
above (HI), below (LO) or HI/LO triggering. Alarms conditions will be indicated on
the display meter and may be used to activate either of the 2 SPDT relay outputs.
A user selectable RS232 or RS485 serial port interface is standard on all models and
uses the Modbus RTU protocol for configuration management and data transfer.
The universal AC power supply accepts 90–240 Vac. The isolated DC power option
accepts 9–36 Vdc.
A security password can be used to prevent front panel tampering of the
configuration.
