The Loop Leader PD684 is a loop-powered, 1/8 DIN flow rate/totalizer designed for demanding process control applications. 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 PD684 loop-powered rate/totalizer is built in a shallow-depth case with an FM Type 4X front and features loop-powered backlighting and a wide -30 to 65°C operating temperature range. It doesn't matter if it's 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.

The Loop Leader PD689 is Intrinsically Safe and Nonincendive. It can be installed in just about any hazardous area environment under the FM, CSA, and ATEX standards.
