MAGNA Temperature Input Large Digit Displays

MAGNA Series Large Digit Displays

Features

  • Choice of 2-1/4", 4", 6" or 8" digit heights, 4 digits.
  • Choice of normal or outside viewing brightness
  • Choice of panel mount, wall mount or suspension mount.
  • Choice of 95-264 Vac or 11-30 Vdc power.
  • Sealed to NEMA-4 (IP65).
  • Only 3.0" (75 mm) deep.
  • Driven by external Laureate 4-20 mA output transmitter
  • Includes dual 120 mA AC/DC solid state relays.

MAGNA large-digit temperature displays can be ordered for four RTD types (DIN Pt100, ANSI Pt100, Ni120 nickel RTD, Cu10 copper RTD) or for seven thermocouple types (J, K, T, E, N, R, S). Four red LED digits show temperatures in °C or °F with 1° or 0.1° resolution. Accuracy is excellent, as shown under Specifications.

Viewing distances up to 100 m (320 ft) are achieved with large digits for reading across a plant floor or an outdoor yard. Four digit heights are available as standard: 57 mm (2-1/4"), 102 mm (4.0"), 150 mm (5.9"), and 200 mm (7.9"). A rule of thumb is that viewing distance in feet is 40 times digit height in inches, or in metric terms, that viewing distance in meters is digit height in millimeters divided by 2. Segmented digits are used for normal brightness 2-1/4” and 4.0" digits. Individual 5 mm LED pixels are used for larger digits and for outdoor brightness versions.

The MAGNA temperature display includes a built-in 4-20 mA process signal conditioner board and an external Laureate temperature transmitter with a 4-20 mA process signal output.

Use of an external transmitter allows long 4-20 mA cable runs while keeping thermocouple or RTD leads short. The display unit and transmitter are sold as a calibrated system. Simply specify the probe type and the HI and LO temperature end points. Your main task will be to make the 4-20 mA two-wire cable connection.

Options available include two or four 2A relays, an analog output, an RS232 or RS485 serial data output, and 95-264 Vac or 11-30 Vdc power.

The system can be reprogrammed by the user for other probe types and temperature ranges.

Environmental sealing to IP65 (NEMA-4X) is standard for the display unit. Electrical connections are via water-tight compression glands. Outdoor LED brightness is optional, as is a built-in heater for outdoor operation down to -25°C (-13°F). Mounting options are panel mount, wall mount or suspension mount.

MAGNA units are built to order. MAGNA orders are non-cancelable and non-returnable.

Customized large digit displays are available by special quotation:

  • LED colors green, blue, white, yellow (not limited to red).
  • Digit heights of 12", 16", 24" or 32" (not just4", 6" or 8").
  • 2 or 4 solid state relays (not just mechanical relays).
  • Stainless steel housing (for food processing and pharmaceutical industries).
  • Explosion-proof stainless steel housing rated for ATEX Zones 2 and 22 (equivalent to Class1 / Div 2).
  • Custom signs with different colors, with fixed captions, and with multiple numeric display windows.

A Laureate RTD or thermocouple transmitter can be DIN rail mounted outside of the display housing.
