PLUG ON DISPLAY
POD

The POD series is a universal 4 digit LED plug-on
display for transmitters with 4-20mA 2 wire output
and fitted with DIN43650 connector. The plug-on
display simply fits between the transmitter plug and
connecting cable socket and is powered from the 420mA current loop signal of the transmitter. No
additional power is required.
Display settings are stored in non-volatile EEPROM,
and can be easily modified through the menu using
two programming buttons. Calibration parameters
(zero, span, decimal point position, filter, and setpoint level) can all be reprogrammed and stored and
retained when power is removed. The display
assembly inside the enclosure can be rotated
through 90º steps, which will suit any mounting
angle and simply installation.
The standard model is the POD-A but the POD-B can
be programmed to open or close at a single setpoint level. The output can then by used to trigger
an alarm or provided external controller.
Typical applications for the plug-on display include
use on pressure, temperature, level, RH, or flow
transmitters for local readout, alarm activation or
control.
