The HI-QCPM is a low cost solution to a wide range of process monitoring and control applications. It is part of Otek’s line of versatile panel instruments and features a 6-digit LED display with menu driven keypad.
This meter is a counter with a simple front panel push-button setup. One unit with a dual channel signal conditioner can be programmed to display large number of variables and scales, including watts, volts, amps, RPM, percent, or the ratio of the 2 signals or batch values. Independent span and zero for each channel allows two separate inputs to be calculated at the same time. Color options for the LED display include red or green with more available upon request. The voltage-to-frequency input signal conditioner converts the meter to an integrating totalizer or rate meter for voltage or current inputs. Outputs may be scaled to display watts and total kilowatt hours, flow and total flow. Custom curves may be programmed in the meter for accurately measuring nonlinear frequency or voltage inputs.
The HI-QCPM measures the period of the input and converts the reading to frequency or rate for fast control response, true peak reading capability and an analog output that accurately tracks the signal input. The meter has a gate time selectable from 10mS to 199.99S and an adaptive digital filter that minimizes noise yet responds rapidly to an actual change in signal level. The peak value of the input signal can be displayed by pushing a front panel button. The HI-QCPM provides an isolated 5, 10 or 24VDC output to power sensors. Transistors or dual 10 amp relays may be added to provide control outputs with the set points programmed by front panel pushbuttons. Its ability to transmit readings makes this digital panel meter ideal for integration with DCS, SCADA and other control system applications. 0 to 10V and 0-20mA analog outputs are available to drive chart recorders, remote displays or for transmission to a central control room.
