Displays for laminar DP flow and pressure instruments

Most Alicat laminar DP flow and pressure instruments (M, L, and P Families) have a default 6-button, monochrome backlit display that simultaneously shows all process variables. Color displays and remote, panel-mount displays are also available.

Integrated display options

Color TFT display

The color TFT display shows measured flow parameters in white with green engineering unit labels. Parameters turn yellow when they exceed their full-scale ranges, or red when they have exceeded their maximum measurable values. An Alicat instrument ordered with a color display shows -TFT in its part number.

Backlit monochrome display

Our highly reflective monochrome LCD display is easy to read in direct sunlight. In a dark environment, press the Alicat logo below the screen to turn on the blue backlight. The backlight remains on until switched off again. An Alicat instrument ordered with a monochrome display shows -D in its part number.

Remote display options

Enclosed remote display

The enclosed remote display is connected to the meter or controller by a 10 pin locking industrial cable 3 m in length. This enclosed display is *IP54 rated by default and provides better protection in high EMI environments.

*IP65 rating also available.

Remote panel-mount display

Both the monochrome and color displays may be ordered as remote displays for easy mounting in instrument panels. These displays are seated inside an aluminum bezel with four 5/32″ diameter mounting holes. The bezel is connected to the meter or controller unit by a shielded ribbon cable as long as 12 feet/3.6 m (length determined at time of order).

No display

For use in OEM applications, Alicat instruments may be ordered without a display at all. In this case, all data monitoring and setpoint commands require connection to a computer or PLC. For most applications, it is best to retain the standard monochrome display to make troubleshooting in the field easier. An Alicat instrument ordered without a display shows -O in its part number.
