FV200 is two independent high performance meters in a single housing. Each can be programmed to display the signal as either red, green or amber.

July 24, 2011 - For new or existing applications, the FV200 Dual Bargraph meter from Fox Meter Inc. is two independent high performance meters in a single housing. The package is form-factor compatible with standard 6-inch edgewise switchboard instruments. Each high resolution 101 segment LED bar is capped with a full 4 digit bright red digital display. The101 segment tri-color LED bar can be programmed to display the signal as either: red, green, or amber.

At predefined signal levels, the FV200 can be configured to change bar color to alert the operator to a changing signal level. The bar can be set to display the signal as a single dot or the signal can be displayed as a solid filled bar.

FEATURES

  • High performance delta-sigma A/D converter with over 65,000 counts of resolution for unparalleled accuracy and linearity
  • Ultra bright full 4 digit alpha-numeric display with decimal point.
  • High brightness, high resolution tri-color 101 segment LED bars.
  • Fully programmable microprocessor based electronics.
  •  Menu driven set-up using 3 buttons on back of meter.
  • Minimum 88k- hour MTBF (calculated).
  • Input range optimized per customer requirement.
  • Simplified retrofitting into existing panels with easy thru front panel mounting
