VPM3000 Vertu® Series Digital Panel Meter Description

Acromag VPM3000 Vertu digital panel meters are among the most versatile on the market and able to operate as a transmitter and/or alarm to satisfy a wide variety of process and temperature applications.

The VPM3000 is field-programmable to accept many inputs including process voltage, process current, Platinum RTDs, and the four most common thermocouples.

One of the VPM3000 meter’s most useful features is its ability to provide 24V DC to power a transmitter’s 4-20mA signal. Two relays and isolated 4-20mA output options increase the utility of the display. The relays can be used for limit alarms or control applications.

The 4-20mA output provides isolated retransmission of the input signal; especially useful for temperature inputs like thermocouples and RTDs without an additional signal conditioner.

A shallow-depth, 1/8 DIN enclosure features a NEMA 4X front panel and convenient mounting hardware. There are two power options: 85 to 265V AC or 12 to 36V DC. AC powered versions can provide 24V DC to power a transmitter or other instruments.

Programming and setup are very easy with either the four front-panel pushbuttons, the free configuration software or using the Copy function.

Extra-large display numerals are 1.2” (30.5 mm) high for easy reading from distances of up to 30 feet. The display intensity is also adjustable to compensate for various lighting conditions, including direct sunlight.

How to Display Flow Rate From a DP Transmitter - DP Flow via Square Root Extraction
Acromag Solutions Application Note 8401035 Defining the Problem: A water treatment facility has differential pressure transmitters that output a 4 to 20mA signal to their SCADA system. They also want to be able to display the flow rate to the operators working nearby but the signal from the differential pressure transmitter is nonlinear. System Requirements:...
How to Implement Smart Load Sharing with a Pump Controller - 8401036
Defining the Problem: A local public utility district has a freshwater collection tank that sometimes fills rapidly and other times slowly. At times the main pump could not keep up and a backup pump must be turned on to keep up with the incoming water. The problem is that with the primary pump running most...
How to Monitor Temperature in a Production Furnace - 8401034
Defining the Problem: A manufacturer of specialty furnaces needs to monitor their temperature control, provide warnings/alarms for temperature near fault conditions, and document consistent temperatures throughout the sintering process. System Requirements: The solution must take a signal from a thermocouple, have a display for real time visual feedback, record temperatures throughout the batch production for...
