Cardinal's giant SB-500 remote display has 5-inch (127-mm) high dual-row digits for greater readability. The high intensity LED is viewable in direct sunlight with a viewing angle of +/- 70 degrees. The weatherproof enclosure meets IP65 requirements and incorporates mounting tabs allowing it to be mounted on a vertical surface.
The interface can autolearn most serial protocols. One custom protocol can be entered into the unit. The interface is configurable for serial data input as either an active or passive 20mA current loop, RS-232 or RS422/485, and also has the connectivity options of Wi-Fi, wireless, fiber optic and ethernet. The SB-500 has annunciators of lb, kg, T, t, G, and N (if output from indicator). The SB-500 and SB-500M enclosure is painted mild steel, and the SB-500S and SB-500MS come in stainless steel. For message board capabilities, Cardinal offers the model SB-500M and SB-500MS.

Cardinal offers custom programmable software to create your own characters or graphics for the SB500. A 2XX option port is available, so most 2XX-option cards may be installed for added flexibility. |
