Up to eight fieldbus process variables can be displayed on these bus-powered indicators using a 86x45 mm screen, and are available for use with either FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ or PROFIBUS® PA systems. One, two or four fieldbus variables may be displayed in combination with units of measurement and tag information. The operator can select the displayed screen via the front panel push-buttons, or these buttons may be disabled.

Text and simple graphics can also be displayed by writing to the transducer block parameters. The push-buttons can then be used to return operator acknowledgements: if large industrial push-buttons are required for these operator inputs, external push-buttons or switches may be wired to the instrument.

There's a choice of field or panel mounting versions. The field mounting models are housed in a robust IP66 glass reinforced polyester (GRP) enclosure with a toughened glass window. These may be direct surface mounted, or pipe mounted using one of the accessory kits. The panel mounting models have an IP65 front panel with a gasket to seal the joint between the instrument and the panel.

Options include six isolated alarm outputs, each of which may be linked to any of the displayed fieldbus variables. Alarm setpoints can be entered via the front panel push-buttons which may be protected by a security code.

For hazardous area use the two intrinsically safe models comply with the Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe Concept (FISCO) and Fieldbus Non Incendive Concept (FNICO) which simplifies system design. Both models have FM approval plus ATEX and IECEx certification.
