Panel Meters in DIN 48mm Format Offer Extra-Large Display for Easy Readability



Anders Electronics has introduced a range of 3.5-digit 48mm x 48mm panel meters featuring large, 24mm high digits enabling easy readability, suitable for snap-in mounting into standard DIN 45mm x 45mm panel apertures.

The new range, consisting of three models, measures volts, process signals, or temperature. Each meter is available either with a conventional black on grey reflective display or with a blue LED backlight for maximum readability in a variety of ambient lighting from dark to bright sunlight. Alternative coloured LED backlights are available for orders of 500 pieces and above.

The 200mV AD48 digital voltmeter can be powered from a 9V or 5V supply and a 13-way SIL pin header provides connections for positive and negative signals, reference voltages and decimal point control.

The AD48PM process meter is self-powered by current signals from 4-20mA, allowing measurement of a variety of transducer outputs or direct system current values. An external power supply is required for the backlight variant. The AD48PM also displays a low temperature coefficient of 100ppm/°C, allowing accurate measurement in spite of ambient temperature fluctuations or temperature cycling of the test equipment.

The AD48KC LCD thermometer module is able to measure temperatures from -50°C to 1000 °C sensed by a K-type thermocouple, and is factory calibrated in degrees Celsius.

Integral cold junction compensation assures accurate temperature monitoring throughout cold junction fluctuations from 0 °C up to 50 °C. The AD48KC has a 4-pin header for power supply and ground connections, plus thermocouple positive and negative inputs.

All meters incorporate an integrated window bezel, which snap fits easily into panels of thickness 0.7mm up to 1.5mm. The total thickness of each display is 13mm, plus the pin header. The operating temperature range is 0 to 50 °C, allowing the AD48-series meters to be deployed in most control room or process monitoring systems in a wide range of industries and markets.
