Introduction 

The Vantageview PD6770 is a rugged, loop-powered 

meter with 1" display digits. The plastic NEMA 4X and 

IP66 field mountable enclosure is designed for de-

manding applications in the harshest environmental 

conditions. The meter derives all of its power from the 

4-20 mA loop with a small 1 volt drop for easy installa-

tion in almost any system.  
The meter is programmed using four easy to access 

front-mounted potentiometers with no complex or diffi-

cult to read programming menus necessary for setup. 

The numeric display will read from -1000 to 1999 over 

a 2000 count user adjustable scaling span. The back-

light option lets you see the display under any lighting 

condition and is powered from the 4-20 mA loop with 

no additional power supply required. 
The enclosure is provided with three threaded conduit 

holes and integrated pipe or wall mounting slotted 

flanges.
