Expanded 64 Channel Remote Display Unit for Gas Detection Sensors

The Detcon (USA) Model RD-64X is a read-only remote display unit designed to monitor real time status of a wide range of gas detection sensors and controllers. The 64-channel system is now being delivered in place of Detcon's 32-channel Model RD-32X. Like its predecessor, communication is via RS-485 Modbus™ RTU protocol.

Model RD-64X incorporates master and slave communication ports allowing for multiple remote display modules throughout critical management stations in heavy industrial environments. The Model RD-64X features a non-intrusive magnetic interface and backlit LCD that simplifies operation and configuration. During normal operation the unit displays real-time status for up to eight field devices simultaneously and continuously auto-cycles through each active channel screen for constant, up-to-date readings. In an alarm condition the display automatically switches to the screen showing the device in alarm. Location tags for each field device can be added to the display using brief alpha-numeric scripts.

Among the system's unique features is a wireless option that can be used with Detcon's RXT-320 SmartWireless® transceivers. Enclosure options include NEMA 4X powered by either 110/220VAC or 24 VDC using an internal power supply and NEMA 7 powered by 11.5-30VDC using an external voltage source.
