Introduction There's nothing stripped down or bare bones about these loop-powered indicators; they're designed for demanding process control applications. Standard features include a full 5-digit backlit display with bargraph, on-screen custom engineering units, and max/min display capabilities. There are two models available: the PD683 is for general-purpose applications and the PD688 is for hazardous area applications. Even with all the features packed into these meters, they're still easy to setup and get running. Everything is programmed from the front panel buttons with no pots or jumpers to deal with. In fact, these indicators can be scaled without a signal source for even quicker setup.	The PD683 and PD688 go just about anywhere with their shallow-depth case, FM Type 4X front, loop-powered backlighting, and wide operating temperature range. It doesn't matter if they're indoors or outdoors, in bright sunlight, or a dimly lit plant, wet, dirty, hot or cold. And the PD688, with its FM approval and CSA certification, can be installed in just about any hazardous area environment. Square root and programmable exponent functions are standard features on the PD683 and PD688. With these features these indicators can display flow from a DP transmitter or open channel flow in weirs and flumes.
Key Features Through significant innovations in technology and design, we developed the Loop Leader™ Series of loop-powered indicators which are loaded with standard features and built for tough industrial environments Full Featured There's nothing stripped down or bare bones about these indicators; they are designed for demanding process control applications. Standard features include a full 5-digit backlit display with bargraph, on-screen custom engineering units, and min/max capabilities. Install Just About Anywhere Indoors, outdoors, bright sunlight, dimly lit plant, wet, dirty, hot or cold- these indicators go just about anywhere.

And the PD688 with its FM Approval and CSA Certification can be installed in just about any hazardous location	Square Root Function 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    •Displays Flow Rate    •User Selectable Low-Flow Cutoff    •Only 2 Calibration Points Required

4-20 mA Input Connections	Programmable Exponent The programmable exponent function is used to linearize the level signal in open channel flow applications using weirs and flume and display flow and display flow rate in engineer.
