Red Lion IMI04163 Intelligent Digital Rate Meter, 6 Digits, LED Display

The Apollo Intelligent Meter for Digital Rate Inputs (IMI) accepts frequencies up to 50 KHz which can be scaled to any desired engineering units. The sensor input is user configurable and allows for a wide selection of compatible sensors. The adjustable minimum and maximum update times provide optimal display response at any input frequency. The IMI provides two display functions in a single package. The display can indicate the input rate and then be toggled to display either totalization or efficiency. The max. display for all functions is 999,999. The totalizer features independent scaling and a low signal cut-out to suit a variety of applications. The efficiency feature can display the input rate in percent of target (process efficiency). Additionally, nine segments can easily be programmed to linearize transducers with non-linear outputs, such as square law devices. The indicator features a choice of two different scaling procedures for the rate display, which greatly simplifies initial set-up. English-style display prompts and front panel buttons aid the operator in set-up and operation. A front panel programmable lock-out menu used with the program disable input protects setup data and guarantees no unwanted changes occur during operation. Programmable digital filtering enhances the stability of the reading. Programmable remote inputs "E1-CON" and "E2-CON" can be used to control a variety of functions, such as totalizing, alarm control, display hold or triggered input. All set-up data is stored in nonvolatile memory. Peak/valley (max/min) indication is included and is easily recalled and controlled by either the front panel buttons or a remote input. The Peak/Valley buffers can be assigned to either the rate or efficiency display and all readings are retained at power-down. Optional dual relays that operate in parallel with solid state outputs are fully programmable to operate in a wide variety of modes to suit many control or alarm applications. The optional 20 mA current loop, half-duplex serial communications, provides computer and printer interfacing to extend the capabilities of the indicator. More than one unit can be connected in the loop with other RLC products which have serial communications capabilities. An optional 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 VDC analog output can be scaled by the user to interface with a host of recorders, indicators and controllers. The indicator has several built-in diagnostic functions to alert operators of most malfunctions. Extensive testing of noise interference mechanisms and full burn-in make the indicator extremely reliable in industrial environments. The die-cast front bezel meets NEMA 4/IP65 requirements for washdown applications, when properly installed. Plug-in style terminal blocks simplify installation and wiring change-outs.
