The new PICA100-F tacho meter and frequency meter is now available from sensing & instrumentation specialists Vydas International Marketing. The PICA100F is a compact 1/32 DIN size and is designed for measuring frequencies, velocities in r.p.m. or lineal and is totally programmable. Manufactured by Ditel the instrument is one of the KOSMOS series of digital panel meters.

The instrument has a 4 digits LED red display 8 mm high. Supply excitation is provided for the sensor, selectable via programming from the front panel. The PICA-100F accepts inputs from most standard sensors: Pick-up Magnetic, Namur, PNP, NPN, switch, as well as being able to measuring frequencies from signals in the range of 10 to 600 V ac. Its two mounted relays allows this instrument not only to measure but also to be able to control, regulate and detect alarms for the input signals.

In addition, due to its communication option RS4P (RS485) it can be integrated within a measurement system and is able to provide output information via its protocols ASCII, ISO 1745 or MODBUS-RTU.

The PICA-100F front panel incorporates three keys located on the front bottom of the unit for the configuration of all parameters. Its brightness level is programmable with 4 levels in order to adapt it to the environment where it is installed. The instrument also registers the minimum and maximum process value since its commissioning or resetting. Output options are isolated from the input and the power supply
