The PD662 NEMA 4X, CSA Certified loop-powered meter is perfect for applications where a simple, inexpensive display is required and AC power is not available. The PD662 derives all its power from the 4-20 mA loop, including its backlight feature. It can be easily scaled in the field using four push buttons; with or without applying an actual calibration signal. The PD662’s display will read up to 2999; we call this 3½+ digits! The PD662 is housed in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure and is provided with one ½" NPT pipe conduit hole.

Why Use Loop-Powered Meters?
The most basic decision a user wishing to display a 4-20 mA signal on a digital display has to make is: should the meter be powered by line voltage or should it be powered by the 4-20 mA loop?
There are three main benefits of using loop-powered devices:
- No additional power required
- Easy wiring
- Additional digital displays can easily be added in the same loop
The following diagram illustrates how a loop-powered meter is wired. Notice there are only two connections made to the meter.
