NEMA 4X Modbus Scanner Indicator
TEK-LCD 7804A SERIES NEMA 4X MODBUS SCANNER INDICATOR
The Tek-LCD 7804A is a plastic, field-mounted, RS485 serial input Modbus® RTU scanner capable of
scanning up to 16 Modbus variables and displaying them on an easy-to-read, dual-line, LCD display.
It can be programmed as a Modbus RTU master, slave, or snooper. The Tek-LCD 7804A is available in two upper display line configurations: 5-digit decimal display and feet & inches display with bar graph. The lower line is the same for both versions and consists of seven alphanumeric characters. Two features that really make the Tek-LCD 7804A stand out are its wide viewing angle display and SafeTouch® through-window buttons. These buttons allow the Tek-LCD 7804A to be programmed and operated through the cover window, thus eliminating the need to remove the cover in dirty or wet environments.

Pulse input variables update 1/second. Rate update is dependent on gate settings. Ambient < -20°C (-4°F): All Modbus scan, alternating units and tags, and pulse input variables update/10 seconds minimum. |
| Under Range | Upper Display: Decimal display flashes -9999. Level display flashes to 399 FT, 11 and 15/16 IN Lower Display: Flashes -999999 |
| Over Range | Upper Display: Decimal display flashes 99999 Level display flashes to 399FT 1115/16 IN Lower Display: Flashes 9999999 |
| Programming Method | Four SafeTouch through-window buttons when cover is installed. Four internal push buttons when cover is removed. |
| Recalibration | Calibrated at the factory to read frequency in Hz. No recalibration required. |
| Input Power | 9-30 VDC, 38 mA max. 2.2 W |
| Password Menu Options | Three programmable password selections can be used for the following: restrict modification of settings, prevent resetting the total or grand total without the password, or permanently lock out the ability to change or reset the grand total or any grand total related settings(making a non-resettable grand total). Pass: Restricts modifications of programmed settings to require re-entering the password to make changes. Pass T: Restricts the reset of total to require re-entering the password. Disables the manual mode reset contact. Pass GT: Restricts the reset of grand total to require re-entering the password. May enable a non-resettable grand total and permanent lockout of grand total-related settings with a specific password. |
