The 87 Series - Large Digit Displays with Outstanding Flexibility
The 87 series is a complete family of large digital displays, with digits ranging from 4 to 12 inches in height. Specially selected surface mount Aluminum Gallium Arsenide (AlGaAs) LED's provide outstanding brightness and an exceptionally wide viewing angle with very low power consumption.

A completely modular family, the 87 series is available with many logic operation types, including counters, rate monitors, serial input slave displays, timers, clocks and more. The free Display-Pro TM 4 software package can be used to easily define operation parameters to exactly match a display to your application. An optional hand-held terminal can be used to remotely load values (presets, scale factors, times, etc.) or monitor displays.

87/415 Rate Display Plus
Display rate per hour, minute or second, scaled to any units you desire. Built in smoothing options provide a stable yet responsive rate display. A switch input can be used to toggle the display between rate and total count, and limits can be set to trigger at any pre-determined rate values. You can even select automatic display of down time if the rate falls to zero!

87/705 Programmable Timer
Time in fractional or unit seconds, minutes, hours, or even days, with ten millisecond resolution. Displays can be ordered in a clock format (with colons) or standard format. Select from dozens of display formats. Time up or down from preset values, or simply accumulate elapsed time.

87/805 Efficiency Display
Display production efficiency in your choice of terms - Percent of Goal, Over/Under Target Pace, or Pace Counts. Input production and pace counts, or let the display compute pace counts based upon user selectable time increments. A hold input suspends counts during breaks, shift changes or other scheduled work stoppages.

Data Displays
87/232 Serial Display Platform
Versatility makes this unit shine. Select optically isolated RS-232 or RS-422/RS-485 communication. Select from eight baud rates, 256 addresses, and four communication modes. Easily connect dozens or even hundreds of displays in a multi-drop network. Choose simple data plus line terminator communication, or the more advanced packet protocol communication (with optional checksums). You can even use our universal mode to define your own protocol and drive the display from virtually any controller, scale, panel meter, master clock or other device which transmits a repetitive serial data string.

87/708 and 87/708HA Real Time Clock Options
Time can be set from a computer, PLC, master clock, or 87 series hand held terminal. The Real Time Clock Option adds an RTC circuit with integrated battery, allowing time keeping to continue when power is removed. Standard accuracy is specified to be within 1 minute per month while the high accuracy option is specified to be within 1 minute per year. Since the clocks are based on the powerful 87/232 platform they can be easily networked for consistent and accurate company wide time display.

87/719 Analog Input Card
A 16 bit Sigma-Delta converter provides precise readings and self calibration, with excellent temperature stability. Display ranges are field programmable, and smoothing options provide a stable yet responsive display. Standard ranges include 4-20 mA, 0-1 Volt, 0-5 Volts, and 0-10 Volts (additional ranges available). Relay output card functionality is standard. Plugs into the 87/232 serial display.

87/712 BCD Input Card
Load up to four digits of parallel BCD, eight digits of multiplexed BCD, or 16 bits of binary data with this 16 bit parallel input card. Has wide range (3 to 30 volts DC) source/sink inputs. Relay output card functionality is standard. Plugs into the 87/232 serial display.

For advanced display applications, nothing beats  Display-Pro® 4 software for providing simple yet powerful setup of your 87 series display. Over one hundred programmable parameters are at your fingertips, in a point and click environment that is consistent throughout the 87 series family of products. Addresses, ID tags, trigger points, presets, scale factors, input characteristics, display ranges, and much more are all easily modified. And of course the software is yours free of charge.

Features
RS-232 Communication Port
The RS-232 port can be used to program the display, remotely access run time parameters, or connect the 87 hand held remote terminal. Is easily upgraded to RS-422/RS-485 for data acquisition and network applications.

Industrial Enclosure
The 87 series enclosure is designed specifically for industrial applications, with co-extruded gaskets, separate power and data conduit entry, and fast and simple mounting. An access plate puts wiring terminals and switch controlled set up parameters within easy reach.

Super Bright LEDs
Specially selected red surface mount Aluminum Gallium Arsenide (AlGaAs) LEDs provide outstanding brightness, low power consumption and an exceptionally wide viewing angle. Green, yellow and bi-color LEDs are also available.

Simple DIP Switch Set Up
A 10 position DIP switch allows easy selection of the most frequently used set up options. Or, for advanced applications use the free Display-Pro® 4 software.

Memory
87 series displays utilize EEPROM memory for storage of set up parameters and for retention of displayed values (where appropriate) when power is removed.

Addressing
Each display may be programmed with a specific unit address and an ID tag.

Options
RS-422/RS-485 Communication Card
Converts the standard RS-232 serial port into a user selectable RS-232 or RS-422/RS-485 port with optical isolation. Adds multi-drop network capability to any 87 series display. Recommended when using the standard RS-232 port for functions other than programming the display. Also includes relay output card functionality.

Relay Output Card
Adds a single pole double throw form C relay for preset counter, preset timer, rate limit and similar applications. Provided for annunciation purposes only.

87 Series Terminal Want on line access to your 87 series displays? Our hand held terminal allows you to view and modify presets, scale factors and more for individual or networked 87 series displays. Power is provided by the 87 series display. The standard 24 key keypad and 4 line by 20 character LCD display help make this terminal extra easy to use.

Display Formats
All display digits are seven segment plus decimal point. Colons are optionally available. Diffused LEDs are recommended for applications where close viewing is of primary importance.

Digit Height LEDs per Segment Recommended Viewing Maximum Viewing
4" 8 Diffused Up to 100' Up to 140'
4" 4 Discrete Up to 120' Up to 160'
6" 8 Discrete Up to 180' Up to 240'
