Introduction 

The PD6700-0L1 is a rugged, field-mount,  
loop-powered meter fully featured for demanding 
applications in harsh environmental conditions. The 
bargraph representation of the process input is 
perfect for level applications and allows for quick 
assessment of current conditions. The meter derives 
all its power from the 4-20 mA loop. It is programmed 
using the four SafeTouch through-window buttons, 
without removing the cover, and can be scaled with or 
without a calibration signal. The numeric display will 
read up to 99999 and the alphanumeric display can 
be programmed to show any combination of numbers 
and letters up to seven characters long for use as 
engineering units, the process identification tag or a 
display for the calculated volume when using for level 
applications. The backlight lets you see the display 
under any lighting condition and can be powered from 
either the 4-20 mA loop or from a separate DC power 
supply. 
The enclosure is provided with three threaded conduit 
holes and integrated pipe or wall mounting slotted 
flanges.
