PD8 Series Explosion-Proof Instrument Supplemental Manual
3
INTRODUCTION
The ProtEX-MAX has been designed to offer the functions and features of any
P
RO V U , Trident X2, or Vigilante II model in a great looking full-approved explosion-
proof product. The PD8 series is not just a 1/8 DIN meter mounted in an explosion-
proof housing; a special bezel and electronics were designed exclusively for the
ProtEX-MAX. The bezel and faceplate give the front panel a very finished appear-
ance and house the additional electronics for the PD8. The user has the ability to
program and operate the instrument without opening the housing using the built-in
SafeTouch through-glass button programming or serial communications port with free
Modbus protocol included (serial communications not present on PD8-154 or
PD8-158 Series models).
How to Use this Manual
This ProtEX-MAX includes this manual addendum and a complete panel meter in-
struction manual for a P

tures not included in the base model. These features have electrical wiring connec-
tions on the round board mounted to the rear of the electronics housing..
