Thrown For a Loop
How is the DPM-400 powered?
The DPM-400 is a loop-powered panel meter that only needs a 4-20 mA loop to be powered.
In which "Modes" can the DPM-100 be configured?
Master, Snooper, or Slave
How far can the point-to-point system go?
When installed outdoors, 1 mile with clean line of sight. 500 feet when installed indoors!
How many 4-20 mA inputs can the ConsoliDator accept?
How loud is the horn on the Light and Horn options?
85 dB!
What are the OPTIONAL output options for the DPM-400?
There are two OPTIONAL outputs for the DPM-400; 2 solid state relays, isolated 4-20 mA output, or a combination of the two.
How many registers can the DPM-100 display?
In either Snooper, or Master mode, the DPM-100 can display a maximum 16 Modbus registers.
Which types of process signals can the wireless system accept?
4-20 mA, Modbus, Discrete I/O - These can all be used simultaneously.
Up to 25 Form C Relays can be installed in the ConsoliDator
How would you power up and control the lights on the Light and Horn options?
The DPM-100, 200, 300 Series is able to power up the horn, and lights while the on board relays control the lights!
What are the STANDARD outputs of the DPM-400?
2 open collector outputs come with the DPM-400 as a standard feature.
How many relays can the DPM-100 come with as an optional feature?
The DPM-100 can come with up to 4 Form C relays that are independently programmed.
If an obstacle were in the way, or the customer needed the wireless signal to to more than a mile, what might you suggest they do?
Use a PDW30-RNA wireless repeater.
How many "Screens" can the ConsoliDator be programmed to show?
Up to TEN custom "Screens" can be programmed to show up to 8 channels on each. That would be a total of 80 channels that can be displayed!
What is the maximum amount of colors that can be on one light stack?
FIVE - and your other options are ONE, or THREE different colored lights per stack.
How would a customer know their bin is going to over fill by simply looking at the DPM-400?
The DPM-400 can be programmed to turn the screen red, and flash the display when it is in alarm state.
If a customer needed to power up a sensor using the DPM-100, how would they do that?
Although the DPM-100 does not have a dedicated power supply, the 4-20 mA output is a powered output, and when wired correctly it can be used as a 24 VDC power supply to power up a sensor!
If a customer had 6 tanks and they wanted to get all their level readings into a control room, what are the two ways they could do this?
1. They could use a single PDW30-SNA using Modbus communications.
2. They could use a point-to-multi point system that consists of 6 field units (one at each measurement point)
How can the ConsoliDator be mounted?
The ConsoliDator comes as either panel mount, or field mount. The field mount version comes built into its own enclosure!
What is the advantage of getting the Light and Horn option for the DPM-300 rather than the DPM-100?
When ordered on the DPM-300, the Light and Horn option comes pre-installed. The options for the other DPM Series will require some light assembly and wiring.
FREE SPACE
AUTOMATIC WIN!
Programming a Modbus Master can be time consuming and tricky on a panel meter. How should a customer program the DPM-100 as a Modbus Master without using the front buttons?
Every DPM-100 comes with a USB port on the side, and when they are plugged into a Windows PC, the programming software will automatically launch allowing the customer to easily configure the DPM-100 as a Modbus Master.
If a customer was not sure if a wireless signal would work in their application, how could we prove to them it would work?
By using the PDA10, the customer (or sales person) could perform a site survey!
When will the ConsoliDator be released?
Precision Digital plans for a 1/1/20 launch!
Why would BinMaster want to sell the Light and Horn options to their customers?
Because it helps BinMaster provide their customers with a complete level monitoring and alarm solution that can be easily installed practically anywhere!
