Introduction
The DTM8000 Digital Meter is a powerful, microprocessor-based unit capable of being configured for
a number of todays demanding measurement needs. It can be quickly configured to operate as a digital
rate meter, timer, or feature-filled process counter. It also offers up to two alarm outputs which can be
adjusted for a number of trigger conditions. Its durable 1/8DIN aluminum housing can be easily mounted
in a panel or control cabinet. Flexibility makes the DTM8000 ideal for applications such as:
Pay-out and Take-up Limit Monitors
Conveyor Oven Tunnel-Time Monitors
Rotating Machinery Tachometers
Material Measurement Meters
