Overview
The Carlo Gavazzi BD35 is the base/main unit for the UDM35 modular digital panel meter family. Designed to meet advanced application requirements, the BD35 provides a foundation for flexible instrumentation in industrial automation, process control, and electrical distribution systems. The UDM Series features a rugged 1/8 DIN housing rated IP67/NEMA4x, making it suitable for harsh panel-mounted environments.
Key Features
- 3-1/2 digit LED display with 14.2mm character height
- TRMS AC current and voltage measurements across multiple ranges
- Easy parameter programming and parameter cloning via UdmSoft or PC HyperTerminal
- Min/max recording, data hold, display/input range scaling, and password protection
- Modular architecture supports optional input, output, and power supply modules (BQTRX, BPH, etc.)
- Supports temperature, resistance, and frequency measurement via optional input modules

Typical Applications
In automation and process control applications, monitoring and control of variables such as temperature, pressure, and vibration is essential. A digital panel meter can perform these functions and provide analog and/or serial re-transmission of the measured value for feedback or data-logging purposes. The BD35 is ideal for:
- Electrical power distribution boards and switchgear panels
- Process control and monitoring systems
- Industrial machinery and automation cabinets
- Environmental and facility monitoring
- Energy management and power quality applications
