Rate, frequency, total, quadrature, period and speed panel meters

The meters and controllers on this page accept pulse inputs from such sensors as NPN, PNP proximity switches, rotary encoders etc. All can be easily scaled to read in RPM, frequency, metres per minute, litres per hour etc..

Suited for these applications and more:-

• Engine speed in RPM
• Period and bake-time display
• Production line counting and rate measurement
• Conveyor speed in metres per minute, feet per second etc.
• Production line output speed, such as items per hour
• Generator frequency, such as 40.000 to 70.000 Hz
• Angle measurement, using quadrature encoder input
• Any physical variable represented by a variable frequency

This page has 2 models for you to choose from:-

[INT2-C] [MAXI-INT2-C]

[^] Model INT2-C digital panel meter
The INT2-C is a low cost yet highly precise, stable, flexible and easy to use 1/8 DIN scalable counter and frequency / RPM / Speed display, and our top seller, for both display-only and display + output applications. It has a number of useful plug-in options which make it ideal in many control and monitoring applications. Can now also be mounted inside a panel on DIN rail, as a high-performance signal conditioner, transmitter and alarm module. The front panel buttons can be locked, and there is an optional plain front panel with no buttons, which can be put in place of the standard front, after calibration. If you need to be able to read the display in a reflection, for example in a heads-up display system, you can switch it to display a mirrored image.              [Obsolete Mk1 manual] Interesting fact The INT2 is the latest release of this well established display, which was first sold 12 years ago. The fact that it is still a popular seller after all these years is proof that it is 'right' for the job. We designed it, we build it, we know it inside out, so you can count on us for first class support. Plus... You can now order this display with digits up to 400mm high! Exactly the same well-proven software and hardware, but with digits of 57mm, 102mm, 150mm, 200mm, 300mm or 400mm high. Ideal for large factories, or anywhere where you need to see your important measurements from far away, inside or outside. The large version is known as the Fusion family, sealed IP65 all round. See here.

[^] Model MAXI-INT2-C large format panel meter
The MAXI-INT2-C is a larger format version of the INT2-C digital meter. This gives improved visibility and larger buttons. It has a number of useful plug-in options which make it ideal for use in many control and monitoring applications. The display can be configured to appear as a mirror image, so that it appears legible when viewed as a reflection. You can also set the unit to 'beginner' mode when setting it up, which gives you more time to read the manual, without the meter timing out and going back to measurement mode.
