Loop Powered Meters

Loop Powered Meters
Precision Digital manufactures a full line of convenient, loop-powered meters which are easy to install and maintain because they get their power directly from the 4-20 mA current loop. Many of these meters feature a 1 V drop to the current loop and are certified as Intrinsically Safe, Nonincendive, and explosion-proof, for use in hazardous areas. These meters have features that help them to stand out from the competition, such as segmented bar graph representations of the process input, feet & inches level displays, wide operating temperature ranges, and displays that can be easily read in various lighting conditions, from wide angles, and from considerable distances.

  • PD6700 Vantageview NEMA 4X Loop-Powered Process & Level Meter

    The Vantageview PD6700 is one of Precision Digital's most advanced and feature-packed plastic, field-mounted, loop-powered indicators. The fact that this meter is loop-powered means that there is no need to run additional, costly power lines. The PD6700 is built in a NEMA 4X and IP65 rated plastic enclosure which can stand up to even the harshest environmental conditions. It features a dual-line display that can be easily scaled in the field for any 4-20 mA analog input. The display has a five digit upper display, a seven alpha-numeric character lower display, and comes with a backlight standard. Two features that really make the PD6700 stand out are its wide viewing angle display and SafeTouch® through-window buttons. These buttons allow the meter to be programmed and operated through the cover window, thus eliminating the need to remove the cover in dirty or wet environments.

    Why you should buy:
    • NEMA 4X/IP65 Enclosure
    • Loop-Powered
    • Level Indication Bargraph Display
  • PD6900-GP VantageView+ NEMA 4X Loop-Powered Process/Feet & Inches Level Indicators

    The PD6908-GP loop-powered process meter and PD6907-GP feet & inches level meter include a NEMA 4X, IP66 plastic enclosure and can be installed in a variety of harsh operating environments to provide convenient and informative display of any 4-20 mA signal. One of the most convenient features of these instruments is their dual-line display which is typically used to display the process variable on the 5-character alphanumeric top display and the units of measure or a tag on the 8-character alphanumeric bottom display. The feet & inches models display level in feet and inches on the top display and the bottom 8-character alphanumeric display can be used to display a tag or custom message.

    The VantageView+'s 14-segment alphanumeric characters on the bottom display line provide a much clearer indication of tags, units, or alarm messages than 7-segment characters do.

    Further enhancing the display on these instruments is a 20-segment bargraph.

    The four CapTouch through-window buttons located on the front of the meter provide a convenient way to operate the meter 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.

  • PD6928-GP VantageView+ NEMA 4X Loop-Powered Flow Rate/Totalizers

    The PD6928-GP loop-powered flow rate/totalizers include a NEMA 4X, IP66 plastic enclosure and can be installed in a variety of harsh operating environments to provide convenient and informative display of any 4-20 mA signal. One of the most convenient features of these instruments is their dual-line display which is typically used to display the flow rate on the 5-character alphanumeric top display and flow total, flow grand total, or a tag on the 8-character alphanumeric bottom display. The top display uses 12-segment, and the bottom display uses 14-segment alphanumeric characters for clear indication of tags, units, or alarm messages.

    Further enhancing the display on these instruments is a 20-segment bargraph.

    The four CapTouch through-window buttons located on the front of the meter provide a convenient way to operate the meter without removing the cover.

  • PD685 Intrinsically Safe IP67 Loop-Powered Meter

    The PD685 is an easy to use, loop-powered indicator, certified by CSA, ATEX and IECEx as intrinsically safe. The PD685 carries international certifications under both the Class/Division System and Zone System, and is thereby suitable for use in gas and dust hazardous areas worldwide. For Division 2 applications where intrinsically safe interfaces are not needed, the PD685 is able to be installed without barriers! To achieve this ability, the PD685 underwent a special 'nonarcing assessment' under the UL 121201 and CSA C22.2 No. 213 standards, and was determined to be a device incapable of causing an ignition on its own. The PD685 is wellsuited for both indoor and outdoor applications and carries a variety of environmental ratings, including NEMA 4, Type 4X and IP67.

    The PD685 can be seen from considerable distance in bright sunlight or dimly lit areas when the standard backlight feature is activated. 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 V (4 V with backlight) drop results in a minimal burden on the loop. The meter features a wide -40 to 75°C operating temperature range and is available with a ½" conduit hole in a location of your choice for easy installation. Calibration is a quick two-step process involving the adjustment of only two sets of coarse and fine, non-interacting potentiometers.
