INTRODUCTION
The Vantageview PD6770 is a rugged, loop-powered meter with 1" display digits.
The plastic NEMA 4X and IP65 field mountable enclosure is designed for demanding
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 installation in almost
any system.
It is programmed using four easy to access front-mounted control dials with no
complex or difficult to read programming menus necessary for setup. The numeric
display will read from -1999 to 1999 over a 2000 count user adjustable scaling span.
The backlight 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 two threaded conduit holes and integrated pipe or wall
mounting slotted flanges.
