Digital Corporation was founded in 1974 by Dr. C.J. Peters to design and manufacture digital panel meters. Today, led by his son Jeffrey Peters, Precision Digital manufactures a wide range of digital panel and field meters for all types of process measurement and control applications. While our product line may have evolved from the nixie tube days of the 1970s to state-of-the-art microprocessor-based instruments of today, our commitment to our customers has not changed. We continue to give our customers what they have come to expect: quality, reliability, quick shipments, competitive pricing, and a knowledgeable staff ready to assist in any application.

ProVu Series

Precision Digital Complete Catalog (15.5MB)

PD6000

Analog Input Process Meter

The PD6000 ProVu digital panel meter is a full-featured, high end, process meter that represents the continuum of 34 years of development by Precision Digital Corporation. The ProVu joins the Sabre and Trident as the most powerful member of our 1/8 DIN meter family. With these three products, we can provide a complete range of process meters for all price and performance applications. One of the most important things that the ProVu does for our "New Generation" of products is that it makes available 2 or 4 relays with 4-20 mA output. In fact, with the expansion module, the ProVu can control up to eight relays.

PD6200

Analog Input Flow/Rate/Totalizer

The PD6200 ProVu is an 1/8 DIN digital panel meter specifically designed for displaying flow rate and total from a flowmeter with an analog output such as 4-20 mA or 0-10 V. The PD6200 is particularly well-suited for flow applications because its six-digit, dual-line display can be programmed for a wide variety of display configurations. For instance, the upper line can display either flow rate, total or grand total, and the lower line can display either flow rate, total, grand total, or engineering units. Among other things, this makes it possible to display flow rate and total at the same time, a very unique feature on 1/8 DIN digital panel meters.

PD6300

Pulse Input Flow/Rate/Totalizer

The ProVu model PD6300 is an 1/8 DIN digital panel meter specifically designed for displaying flow rate and total from a pulsed input provided by open collector, NPN, PNP, TTL, switch contact, sine wave, or square wave. The PD6300 is particularly well-suited for flow applications because its six-digit, dual-line display can be programmed for a wide variety of display configurations. For instance, the upper line can display either flow rate, total or grand total, and the lower line can display either flow rate, total, grand total, or engineering units. Among other things, this makes it possible to display flow rate and total, or total and grand total at the same time, a very unique feature on 1/8 DIN digital panel meters.

PD7000

Temperature Meter

The ProVu meter boasts specifications and functionality that clearly makes it one of the most advanced temperature meters available. Its dual-line 6-character display, function keys, and optional expansion modules are only a few of the features you will find on the ProVu. The ProVu model PD7000 is an 1/8 DIN digital panel meter specifically designed for displaying temperature. The PD7000 accepts many more thermocouple types and RTDs than earlier models, including: J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N, C Thermocouples or 100 or 1000 Ω Platinum, 10 Ω Copper, 120 Ω Nickel RTDs. It can be configured to have either a 1 or 0.1 degree display resolution on any type of sensor input.

 

 

Trident Series

Precision Digital Complete Catalog (15.5MB)

The Model PD765 Trident Digital Panel Meter is one of the most versatile digital panel meters on the market and will satisfy a wide variety of process applications.

It is housed in a shallow-depth, 1/8 DIN enclosure that features a NEMA 4X front panel and convenient mounting hardware. There are two power options for the Trident: 85 to 265 VAC or 12-36 VDC and it can provide 24 VDC to power the transmitter if needed. Programming and setup can be performed with the four front panel pushbuttons, free MeterView software, or using the Copy function.

 

 

Sabre Series

Precision Digital Complete Catalog (15.5MB)

PD603

Sabre P Process Meter

The Sabre P PD603 process meter combines operational simplicity with high end features to deliver the perfect low-cost digital panel meter for display only applications. The PD603 menu structure is easy to navigate because the only selections are input, decimal point location and scaling values. There are no other menu choices to add confusion during the setup process and indirectly increase the cost of a "low-cost" meter. However, despite being a low-cost meter, the PD603 is still packed with many features typically found only on more expensive meters, like NEMA 4X front, universal power supply, front panel programming, input current overload protection, and UL Listing and CE marking.

PD743

Sabre T Temperature Meter

The Sabre T PD743 temperature meter combines operational simplicity with high end features to deliver the perfect low-cost digital panel meter for display only applications. The PD743's menu structure is easy to navigate because the only selections are input, and display in °F or °C. There are no other menu choices to add confusion during the setup process and indirectly increase the cost of a "low-cost" meter. However, despite being a low-cost meter, the PD743 is still packed with many features typically found only on more expensive meters, like NEMA 4X front, universal power supply, display to 2300 °F for type K T/C, and UL Listing and CE marking.
