German automation specialist akYtec has introduced two compact panel meters, the universal ITP17 display and the ITP15-M bar graph indicator, designed for industry. Each device fits a 22.5 mm cutout, features a tri-color display and configurable inputs for current, voltage, RTDs and thermocouples. Protected to IP65 at the front and IP20 at the rear, they withstand harsh conditions. Configuration via Micro-USB with akYtec Tool Pro streamlines setup and monitoring operations.

akYtecs compact panel meters include the ITP17 universal display and the ITP15-M bar graph indicator designed for industrial use. Each device measures 48×26×72 mm, fitting a standard 22.5 mm cutout. Front panels are rated IP65 while rear enclosures offer IP20 protection. Both operate reliably in environments from -40 to +60 °C. Their compact size and rugged sealing make them ideal for industrial process control, machine monitoring, and harsh industrial automation environments.
ITP17 offers four-digit display showing green yellow red measurements
The ITP17 provides a four-digit 7-segment display that visualizes measurement values in green, yellow, or red based on user-configured thresholds. Users can define alarm logic and color transition points to suit monitoring needs. A built-in NPN transistor output, rated for up to 200 mA at 42 V DC, handles switching tasks. Flexible inputs accept 0-5 mA or 4-20 mA current, voltage signals from ?50 mV to 10 V, plus RTD or thermocouple sensors. It operates on 10-30 V DC.
ITP15-M Features Ten-Segment Bar Graph With Programmable Color Zones
The ITP15-M uses a ten-segment bar graph to display values from zero to 100 percent. Programmable green, yellow, and red zones highlight specific ranges, while an optional blink function signals threshold breaches. It includes an NPN transistor output capable of 200 mA at 42 VDC. Its input accepts current, voltage, RTD, and thermocouple signals fully identical to the ITP17. Power is supplied by 10 to 30 VDC, nominally 24 volts.
Effortless Micro-USB Configuration via akYtec Tool Pro Software Interface

Both devices can be configured via Micro-USB using akYtec Tool Pro software. Their compact housing measures 48 × 26 mm, fitting standard panel cutouts for easy retrofitting in operator panels. The front is protected to IP65, and the rear to IP20, ensuring resistance to dust, water splashes, and temperature extremes from -40 to +60 °C. This blend of ruggedness and simple commissioning makes them ideal for challenging harsh industrial scenarios.
Local Panel Displays and Threshold-Based Switching Simplify Industrial Monitoring
Local indicators and simple threshold-based switching functions are covered by ITP17 and ITP15-M in control cabinets and operator panels. These compact devices support measurements and visualization of temperature, level, pressure, and humidity with accuracy. Users can configure customizable alarm thresholds and color-coded displays to suit process parameters. The built-in NPN transistor output enables direct activation of relays or alarms upon parameter deviations, enhancing safety and automation efficiency in industrial environments.
akYtec Introduces Robust Compact ITP17 and ITP15-M Panel Meters
The new ITP17 and ITP15-M panel meters from akYtec deliver compact, and highly configurable options for IoT and automation projects. Their triple-color displays, flexible input channels, simple configuration process, and standardized panel cutout ensure efficient integration into diverse industrial and process environments. Users can monitor current, voltage, temperature signals, and set thresholds for color-coded alerts. Ruggedized front faces with IP65 rating, USB-based setup, and low power consumption support demanding applications.
