Dimensions Specifications Ordering Information Documentation


Features

  • 4-20 mA Input
  • NEMA 4X
  • 1 V Drop
  • 3½ Digit LCD 1" (25.4 mm) High
  • Operating Temperature Range: -40 to 80°C
  • ¾" NPT Hole Provided

Loop Powered Indicator CSA Certified  Loop-powered indicator FM Approved



The PD687 can be installed just about anywhere in North America except Group A locations: indoors, outdoors, hot, cold, safe or hazardous area. The PD687-EX is FM Approved and CSA Certified as explosion-proof, will operate from –40 to 80°C, and adds only 1V to the loop. Its big 1 inch high display means it can be read from considerable distance. Calibration is a quick two-step process involving the adjustment of only two non-interacting potentiometers.



Note: For complete installation information see instruction manual linked below


Loop-Powered Indicator PD687

 
Setup

The only tools needed for calibration are a calibrated current source and a screwdriver.




Loop-powered indicator Assembly Diagram

Figure 1: Assembly

Decimal Point Selection


The decimal point jumper array is located in the lower right corner of the Display Board next to the display. It is labeled DP1, DP2, DP3. Place a jumper over both pins of DP1 for a display of 199.9, DP2 for 19.99 or DP3 for 1.999.

Calibration

LO and HI calibration controls are located to the left of the display (see Figure 1). Apply a signal equal to 4 mA and adjust the LO control to display the desired reading. Apply a signal between 16 and 20 mA and adjust the HI control to display the desired reading. Complete the calibration procedure by making any minor adjustments to the LO and HI controls.


Servicing Display PCB Outside the Loop

Two modes of input signal connections allow the user to remove the Display Board for service and maintain the loop connection. This is done by connecting the LOOP JUMPER (see Figure 2) over both pins of the header on the Input Signal Board. The user may now operate the Display Board at another location by connecting a signal directly to the “S+ and S-” wires on the Display Board. When the display of the instrument is put back in service the push-on LOOP JUMPER must be removed from both pins, save the jumper by placing over one pin only.


Field wiring is made to the Input Signal Board which is mounted to the base of the enclosure.

Dimensions and Mounting Information


Refer to Figure 3 for location of mounting holes located in each corner of the enclosure. Mount the enclosure as desired and connect the conduit to the ¾" NPT hole provided and install sealing fittings

The user may mount the Display so conduit hole is oriented vertically or horizontally
