Precision Digital PD663 3½+ Digit Explosion-Proof Loop-Powered Meters


The ProtEX-Lite PD663 is a rugged, explosion-proof NEMA 4X loop- powered meter perfect for applications where a simple, inexpensive display is required in a hazardous area.
The PD663 derives all its power from the 4-20 mA loop. The PD663 is scaled using four push buttons and can be done without applying an actual calibration signal, and through the explosion-proof enclosure with optional magnetic reed switches and a magnet key. The PD663’s display will read up to 2999; we call this 3½+ digits! The loop-powered backlighting option lets you see the display under any lighting condition and is powered completely from the 4-20 mA loop. This means there is no need for additional wiring and never any batteries to change.
The PD663 is housed in a rugged, explosion-proof, cast aluminum, NEMA 4X enclosure and is provided with two threaded conduit holes and integrated pipe or wall mounting holes.
