P6004A In Stock

The Newport P6004A is a Microprocessor-Based 1/8 DIN Meter that incorporates an isolated analog-to-frequency signal conditioner that can be easily configured either through its front-panel tactile keys or via a personal computer interface. The core functionality of the analog-to-frequency signal conditioner is to transform analog process signals into a corresponding frequency range spanning from 1 Hz to 10 kHz. This frequency is then precisely converted into engineering units through a six-digit divider or multiplier when operating in process indicator mode. This mode ensures an exceptional accuracy of 99.9% at 25°C, boasting a minimal temperature coefficient of 50 ppm/°C. Precision is further upheld by enabling the selective specification of decimal places through a true roundoff mechanism, effectively eliminating insignificant digits.

The P6004A is flexible in display update timing, which can be fine-tuned in 10 ms increments. This dynamic range extends from 50 ms plus one pulse period to 99.99 seconds, allowing customization to suit diverse operational needs. In totalizer mode, this meter takes input from the analog-to-frequency signal conditioner, aggregates it, and transforms it into engineering units through a six-digit multiplier or divider with user-defined decimal positions. This capacity enables the meter to accept inputs such as the 4-20 mA signal from a linear flow meter, yielding measurements in liters or gallons, or the 0-10 V signal from a wattmeter, displaying readings in kW-hrs. Leveraging the synergy between the P6004A and the P6000, the meter can simultaneously exhibit rate, total, as well as HI and LO setpoints. This integration harnesses TTL-level analog-to-frequency signal conditioner pulses, leveraging them as inputs for the P6000 unit.

The P6004A automatically safeguarding the latest measurements in non-volatile RAM by restores data upon powering on the system. This meter facilitates user-friendly programming through its front panel, boasting five intuitive programming keys and alphanumeric guidance via the LED display. A robust security framework is implemented through four tiers of front-panel lockout, configurable using push-on jumpers. These lockout levels span complete panel lockdown, partial lockdown except for setpoints, and comprehensive usability except for the fine calibration of the crystal clock. The P6004A can be programmed remotely by downloading setup parameters through RS-232 connections. This can be achieved through direct wiring or modem-based communications, empowering seamless communication with a host computer or programmable controller. The meter's adaptability shines in computer-controlled environments, allowing real-time adjustment of setup parameters and setpoints, along with data retrieval via RS-232.
