  • The Loop Leader PD6600 is an ATEX, IECEx approved, and UL listed, intrinsically safe and nonincendive, loop-powered, 1/8 DIN process meter. A dual-line display featuring five digits on the top line and eight digits on the bottom line, preprogrammed engineering units, loop-powered backlight with a unique red backlight option for alarm conditions, and optional bargraph display (PD6608) or feet & inches display (PD6607) provide a clear and attractive presentation of the process. All models come equipped with two open collector outputs and are available with two solid state relays and a 4-20 mA analog output. These outputs can be programmed for alarm indication, signal retransmission via pulse or analog signal, pump control, and a number of other useful features. The fact that this meter is loop-powered means that there is no need to run additional, costly power lines; the meter gets all of the power it needs from the 4-20 mA loop. The Loop Leader loop-powered process meter is built in a shallow-depth case with a IP65 front and features loop-powered backlighting and a wide -40 to 158°F (-40 to 70°C) operating temperature range. It doesn't matter if it's hazardous areas, 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.

    Why you should buy:
  • The Loop Leader+ loop-powered large display meters
    can be installed virtually anywhere to provide convenient
    and informative display of any 4-20 mA signal. One of
    the most convenient features of these instruments is their
    large, dual line display. The 2.8" 5-digit top display is used
    to display the process variable while the 1.5" 8-character
    alphanumeric bottom display can be used to display the
    units of measure or a tag. Feet and inches models display
    level in feet and inches on the top display while the 8-digit
    alphanumeric bottom line may be used to display a tag or
    custom message.

    Further enhancing the display on these instruments is a
    20-segment bargraph that also includes a numeric value of
    the percentage the bargraph represents.
    Free, PC-based, MeterView XL software that connects
    to the meter via a micro USB cable is available for
    programming and setup of the meters.

    The PD4 is available in two configurations: Display only
    and with two solid-state relays and 4-20 mA analog output.
    All models come equipped with two open collector outputs
    and remote contacts. The open collector outputs are
    useful for alarm indication. The remote contacts can be
    used to remotely operate the four programming buttons, to
    acknowledge the relays, to start/stop a timer/stopwatch, and
    more. The relays can be programmed for alarm indication,
    on/off control, or pump alternation.

    Finally, there are intrinsically safe versions of these
    instruments that can be installed in hazardous areas.

  • The ProtEX+ loop-powered explosion-proof & intrinsically safe meters can be installed virtually anywhere to provide convenient and informative display of any 4-20 mA signal. They can operate down to -40°C and be installed in areas that get as cold as -55°C, however the display will cease functioning. One of the most convenient features is the dual-line display, typically used to display the process variable on the 5-character alphanumeric top display and the units of measure or tag on the 8-character alphanumeric bottom display. Feet and inches models display level in feet and inches on the top display while the 8-digit alphanumeric bottom line may be used to display a tag or custom message. Further enhancing the display on these instruments is a 20-segment bargraph.

    The ProtEX+ Series is CSA Certified as Explosion-Proof / Dust-Ignition Proof / Flame-Proof and ATEX and IECEx Certified as Intrinsically Safe. Four CapTouch through-glass buttons are available to operate the instrument without removing the cover. Free, PC-based, MeterView XL software that connects to the meter via a micro USB cable is available for programming and setup of the meters.

    All models come equipped with two open collector outputs and a digital input. There are also models available with two solid-state relays and isolated 4-20 mA analog output options.
