Data sheet Date Page The POD series is a universal 4 digit LED plug-on display for transmitters with 4-20mA 2 wire output and fitted with DIN43650 connector. The plug-on display simply fits between the transmitter plug and connecting cable socket and is powered from the 420mA current loop signal of the transmitter. No additional power is required. Display settings are stored in non-volatile EEPROM, and can be easily modified through the menu using two programming buttons. Calibration parameters (zero, span, decimal point position, filter, and setpoint level) can all be reprogrammed and stored and retained when power is removed. The display assembly inside the enclosure can be rotated through 90º steps, which will suit any mounting angle and simply installation. The standard model is the POD-A but the POD-B can be programmed to open or close at a single setpoint level. The output can then by used to trigger an alarm or provided external controller. Typical applications for the plug-on display include use on pressure, temperature, level, RH, or flow transmitters for local readout, alarm activation or control. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Display: 4 digit red LED display, 7mm digit height. Display output range: -999 to 9999 Input signal: 4-20mA, 2 wire current loop. Display calibration: Factory set to display 4.00 to 20.00 for 4-20mA input. Accuarcy: 0.2% of full-scale input +/- 1 digit Power supply voltage: Requires 5 V or less from loop supply. Allowed loop current: Maximum 60mA. Above this automatic circuit protection is activated. Display sampling rate: 300mS to 25.5 S, adjustable filter setting from menu. Open drain switch output ouput: Model number POD-B only: P type MOSFET switch. Maximum current source: 90mA, with automatic circuit protection. Programming: Via two press buttons, menu assisted. Access to the programming buttons is made by removing front cover. Menu selection: Zero adjustment: -999 to 9999 Span adjustment: 0 to 9999 Decimal point: 3 positions or off Filter: 0.3 to 25.5 second Over-range: On/Off Setpoint: -999 to 9999 Setpoint direction: Up/Down Settings stored in Non-volatile EEPROM Error messages: When over-range option is selected: ‘HI’ is displayed when input is above 20mA‘LO’ is displayed when input is less than 4mA when over-range option is off: ‘ErC6’ is displayed when range -999 to 9999 is exceeded. Temperature range: Operating: - 10° to + 60° C C Storage: - 30° to + 80° C C Case material: Moulded ABS plastic, Red Acrylic display widow, Nitrile seal. Ingress protection type: Splash-proof, enclosure sealed to IP65 Electrical connection: Plugs directly onto transmitters with 4-20 mA. output and right-angle DIN 43650 (3-pin +earth) connector plug.
