PD663 ProtEX-Lite Explosion-Proof Loop-Powered Meter

PD663 Instruction Manual
FM Approvals Canadian Standards Association Atmosphères ExplosiblesEuropean Conformity

The PD663 is a loop-powered field meter that is FM Approved and CSA Certified as Explosion-Proof, Dust-Ignition Proof, and Flame-Proof, and ATEX & IECEx Certified as Flame-Proof and Protection by Enclosure. The PD663 is easy to install and program and it can be seen in a variety of lighting conditions and even in bright sunlight. The fact that this meter is loop-powered means that there is no need to run additional, costly power lines into a hazardous area. The meter gets all of the power it needs from the 4-20 mA loop and its 1.7 V drop results in a minimal burden on the loop. The meter features a wide -40 to 75°C operating temperature range and comes with two 1/2" NPT threaded conduit openings and flanges for wall or pipe mounting. Calibration is a quick process involving the four internal push buttons. The PD663’s display will read up to 2999; we call this 3½+ digits!

Programming

The PD663 comes calibrated and scaled at the factory to display a 4.00 to 20.00 mA signal on startup. To change the scaling, follow along using the 4 button interface.

Electronics Module

The PD663 electronics module is housed in a plastic enclosure that provides a degree of environmental protection for the electronics circuitry. The module is mounted to the enclosure with spring-loaded thumbscrews and can be oriented in 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270° increments. Connections are made to a removable screw terminal block.

Input RangeMinimum Span Input 1 & Input 2
4-20 mA0.40 mA
Maximum Voltage Drop & Equivalent Resistance:

Without BacklightWith Backlight
1.7 VDC @ 20 mA4.7 VDC @ 20 mA
85 Ω @ 20 mA235 Ω @ 20 mA
Loop-Powered Backlight Option: Factory installed only. Powered directly from the 4-20 mA loop, no batteries required. Backlight can be enabled or disabled via alternative wiring of terminal block. The display brightness will increase as the input signal current increases.
Input Overload: Over current protection to 2 A max.
HART Transparency: The meter does not interfere with existing HART communications; it displays the 4-20 mA primary variable and it allows the HART communications to pass through without interruption. The meter is not affected if a HART communicator is connected to the loop. The meter does not display secondary HART variables.
