Warnings: 

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING.
LISEZ ET COMPRENEZ LE MANUEL AVANT DE L'UTILISER

The following warnings apply to Division 2 installations only!

 

WARNiNg: 

 

EXPLOSION HAZARD – DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT 

OR REMOVE THE COVER UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN 

SWITCHED OFF OR THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-

HAZARDOUS; FRANCAIS: “EXPLOSION DANGEREUSE 

- NE PAS DÉBRANCHER L'ÉQUIPEMENT NI DÉPOSER LE 

COUVERCLE SAUF SI L'ALIMENTATION A ÉTÉ COUPÉE OU SI 

LA ZONE N'EST PAS DANGEREUSE.”

WARNiNg (FOR DiV. 2 ONLY): 

 

THE EQUIPMENT MUST BE CONNECTED TO A CERTIFIED 

CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY; Francais: “L'équipement doit être 

raccordé à une alimentation de classe 2 CERTIFIÉE”

Application Notes:

Entity parameters must meet the following requirements for both 

CSA and ATEX/IECEx applications (except in areas where barriers 

are not required, as noted below):

Ui 

 

= 30 V, li 

 

= 175 mA, Pi 

 

= 1 W, Ci 

 

= 0, Li 

 

= 0

For Division 2 Applications (North America only):

 

Division 2 installations do NOT require the use of an intrinsically-

safe barrier or intrinsically-safe entity parameters. 

Year of Construction:

 

This information is contained within the serial number with the first four 

digits representing the year and month in the YYMM format.

NOtE 1:

 

if any of the following operations are performed in 

the hazardous area, all appropriate hazardous area procedures 

must be followed.

NOtE 2:

 to prevent damage to electronic components caused 

by electrostatic discharge, a grounding strap should be worn 

when servicing the display.

Conduit installation instructions

1.  Remove the printed circuit board from the enclosure. 

2.  Connect appropriate size conduit fittings to the hole provided. 

For enclosures without a pre-drilled hole, the installer must 

make a hole in accordance with the instructions for the particular 

conduit fitting being installed. 

3.  Connect conduit (with attached hubs) to the enclosure. 

Conduit hubs must be connected to the conduit prior to being 

connected to the enclosure. Use only conduit hubs that are 

designed to maintain NEMA 4 or IP67 ratings.

Note:

 Please read PD685 Intrinsic Safety Control Drawing (LIM685-2) for more 

information pertaining to the conduit holes.

Mounting instructions

1. Remove the enclosure cover from the base.

2.  Insert mounting hardware into mounting holes in enclosure base 

(see Figure 7). 

3.  Secure the enclosure base to the mounting surface using the 

inserted hardware.

4. Re-attach the enclosure cover to the base.

sEtUP

The only tools needed for calibration are a calibrated current 

source and a small slotted/flathead screwdriver.
All controls and wiring connectors are accessed by opening the 

enclosure. To access electrical connectors, remove the enclosure 

cover, unscrew the two captive screws that fasten the printed circuit 

board, and remove the printed circuit board from the enclosure.

Calibration Connections

To access the input terminals it is necessary to remove the enclosure 

cover and the printed circuit board. This is done by loosening the four 

screws on the enclosure cover and removing the cover. Completely 

loosen both thumb screws that hold the printed circuit board to the 

enclosure. Turn it over to gain access to the reverse side. Then, 

proceed to connect a calibrated current source per Figure 1.

Decimal Point selection

The decimal point jumper array J2 is located in the lower right corner 

of the printed circuit board next to the display. It is labeled DDD.D, 

DD.DD, and D.DDD. Place a jumper over both pins of DDD.D for a 

display of 199.9, DD.DD for 19.99, or D.DDD for 1.999.

Calibration

LO and HI coarse and fine calibration controls are located below 

the display (see Figure 2). The meter is factory calibrated to display 

-500 at 4 mA and 1500 at 20 mA. Use the HI and LO COARSE 

controls for large range changes during calibration and the HI and 

LO FINE controls for precision changes. Apply a 4 mA signal and 

adjust the LO controls to display the desired reading. Apply a signal 

between 16 and 20 mA and adjust the HI controls to display the 

desired reading. Complete the calibration procedure by making 

minor adjustments to the LO and HI controls as necessary. 

installation

Installation of the meter involves removing the printed circuit 

board from its enclosure and connecting a ½" conduit fitting to the 

hole provided. Refer to PD685 CSA, ATEX and IECEx Certified 

Loop-Powered Meter Intrinsic Safety Control Drawing diagrams 

(LIM685-2) for further details. Wall mounting holes are located in 

each corner of the enclosure (see Figure 7).

Loop Connections

Disconnect power to the loop and wire the meter as illustrated 

in (Figures 3 & 4) for 2-wire transmitter configuration, (Figures 5 

& 6) for 4-wire transmitter configurations, and the PD685 CSA, 

ATEX and IECEx Certified Loop-Powered Meter Intrinsic Safety 

Control Drawing diagrams (LIM685-2) supplied with the instrument. 

Connect the loop return wire to S- to disable the backlight feature 

or connect it to B- to enable the backlight feature.

1. Read complete instructions prior to installation and operation of the meter.
2. Installation and service should be performed only by trained service personnel.
3. Substitution of components may impair hazardous location safety.
4.  Service requiring replacement of internal components must be performed at the factory.
5.  Equipment contains non-metallic materials and therefore special care and consideration should 

be made to the performance of these materials with respect to chemicals which may be present 

in a hazardous environment.

6.  PD685 indicator does not add capacitance or inductance to the loop under normal or fault 

conditions.

7.  Hazardous location installation instructions for associated apparatus (barrier) 

must be followed when installing this equipment.

8.  For safe installation of an ATEX, IECEx, and/or CSA certified transmitter in 

series with the PD685 loop indicator, the hazardous location installation instructions for the 
transmitter, PD685 loop indicator, and associated apparatus (barrier) must be compatible.
