Description

The LDB Series of large displays offer a wide range of display, measurement and alarm capabilities for all types of commercial and industrial applications. Data is visible by a large audience at distances of up to 50 m (160').

These displays offer the ability to provide control, alarms, and/or retransmission of measured data.  Field-installable options are also available for analog retransmission signals, transistor or relay outputs, SSR controls, as well as communications in Modbus RTU, RS232 or RS485 ASCII protocols. For reliable performance and protection, all circuits are isolated.

The LDB series includes a full NEMA 4 (IP65) metallic housing, and can be wall mounted, panel mounted or suspended. Easy configuration is possible using the front keypad, while an optional remote keypad is also available.

The front lens is made using anti-reflective tinted methacrylate. This allows sharp and clear reading, even at long distances. In addition, adjustments in brightness are possible, with 5 levels of LED brightness available to suit most environments.
