Loop-Powered Rate/Totalizer Approvals
 
Introduction
These loop-powered rate/totalizers can display rate up to five digits and total up to eight digits using the total overflow feature described below. The display can be programmed to automatically or manually toggle between rate and total. Standard features include a backlit display with bargraph, on-screen custom engineering units, max/min display and open collector output. There are two models available: the PD684 is for general-purpose applications and the PD689 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 PD684 and PD689 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 PD689, with its FM Approval and CSA Certification, can be installed in just about any hazardous location.

Square root and programmable exponent functions are standard features on the PD684 and PD689. With these features, these indicators can display flow rate and total from a DP transmitter or open channel flow in weirs and flumes.

Key Features

Through significant innovation in technology and design, we developed the Loop Leader™ Series of loop-powered rate/totalizer that is loaded the standard features and build tough for all environments.

Full Featured
Everything comes standard with these meters. The competition may charge extra for for loop-powered backlighting, open collector output and programmable exponent capability, but these and a host of other key features are standard on these indicators.

Install Just About anywhere
Indoors, outdoors, bright sunlight, dimly lit plant, wet, dirty, hot or cold- these indicators go just about anywhere. Their shallow-depth case, FM Type 4X front, loop-powered backlighting, and wide operating temperature range are all standard features. And the PD689 with its FM Approval and CSA Certification can be installed in just about any hazardous location.

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.

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

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.

Totalizer Conversion Factor

The totalizer conversion factor is a number which is multiplied by the rate to compute total. For example, if the rate display is gallons per hour and total is desired in liters, a factor of 3.7843 should be used. If the display is gallons per hour and total is desired in gallons, a factor of 1 should be used.
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.

Setup and Programming

Easy Setup

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
meters can be scaled without a signal source for even quicker setup

Advanced Features Menu Isolated Open Collector Output
To simplify the set up process, functions not needed for most applications are located in the Advanced Featured menu. Press and hold the Menu button for 5 seconds to access the advanced features of the meter.

The open collector output may be assigned as a pulse or alarm output. As a pulse output this feature will produce one pulse output per a given number of counts (user select). For example, these meters can be programmed to produce one pulse for every 500 gallons totalized. This output can be sent to a PLC or a counter. As an alarm output this feature allows high or low rate indication or total setpoint indication.
