The Loop Leader PD689 is an Intrinsically Safe and Nonincendive, loop-powered, 1/8 DIN flow rate/totalizer designed for hazardous process control applications. 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. The PD689 loop-powered rate/totalizer is built in a shallow-depth case with an FM Type 4X front and features loop-powered backlighting and a wide -30 to 65°C operating temperature range. It doesn't matter if it's indoors or outdoors, in bright sunlight or a dimly lit plant, or in an area that is wet, dirty, hot, or cold, the Loop Leader can go just about anywhere. The PD689 can be installed in just about any hazardous area environment under the FM, CSA, and ATEX standards.

Applications


Square Root Function

The square root extraction feature displays flow rate by extracting the square root from a differential pressure transmitter signal. The user selectable low-flow cutoff feature gives a reading of zero when the flow rate drops below a user selectable value.

  • Displays Flow Rate
  • User Selectable Low-Flow Cutoff
  • Only 2 Calibration Points Required




Programmable Exponent

The programmable exponent function is used to linearize the level signal in applications using weirs and flumes and display flow rate in engineering units.

Example of Using Programmable Exponent Function


Alternating Rate & Totalizer Display

Press Enter/ACK button to alternate between rate and total or program the totalizer so the display automatically changes between displaying rate and total every 10 seconds. This feature is particularly useful if the meters are mounted inside a NEMA 4X or an explosion-proof enclosure.

Alternating Rate and Total Display

Total & Overflow Display

This feature allows the PD684 & PD689 to display total values up to eight digits. This sample shows a total of 68,923,684.
