The PD663 is an explosion-proof, loop-powered field meter from Precision Digital that has FM Approval, CSA Certification for Explosion-Proof, Dust-Ignition Proof, and Flame-Proof, as well as ATEX & IECEx Certification for Flame-Proof and Protection by Enclosure. The PD663 is easy to install and program, and can be read in various lighting conditions including bright sunlight. The loop-powered feature eliminates the need for additional power lines in hazardous areas, minimizing installation costs. With a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C, the meter is suitable for various applications. The PD663 has two 1/2″ NPT threaded conduit openings and flanges for wall or pipe mounting. Calibration is quick and easy with the four internal push buttons. The meter’s display provides 3½+ digits and can read up to 2999.
