Please read through the user guide carefully before commissioning the device. Damages that arise from
non-observance of the guidelines in the user guide shall be devoid of any liability.
– The device may only be used in the manner described in this user guide.
– No technical modifications may be made to the device.
– The device may not be used if the environmental conditions (temperature, humidity etc.) are not within
the limits indicated in the specification.
– The device may not be used in explosive areas and there may be no chemically active substances in the
air.
– The device should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. No abrasives or solvent-based cleaners should be
used.
Non-observance of the safety guidelines may result in damage to the device and injury to users.
The ITP11 is a universally applicable, digital display unit. It is designed to be connected to any transmitter
with a 4-20 mA output. The device requires no auxiliary power and is supplied directly from the measured
current.
The field of application of the device includes the control and monitoring of industrial processes. The display
can be used in automated systems as a primary or secondary display.
The device may only be operated
– properly installed and
– in accordance with the specification.
Improper use
– The ITP11 may not be used for medical devices that sustain, monitor or otherwise affect human life or
health.
– The device may not be used in potentially explosive environment.
– The device may not be used in an atmosphere with chemically active substances.
A 4-digit, 7-segment LED display with 14 mm character height is located on the front of the device for displaying the measured values, error messages, functions and values during programming. The programming
buttons are positioned on the cylindrical surface of the device.
The button is used to set the programming mode and to apply the changes. The parameters can be se-
lected and changed using buttons and . Pressing and holding the buttons increases the speed of parameter changing in three steps.
The operating modes are described in Section 5.
The device has the following functions:
- Display process values, received from process control devices with 4-20 mA output (current loop).
- The measured values are displayed on the 4-digit LED display with a maximum range of -999…+9999 in
accordance with the set limit values and the decimal point position.
- When exceeding the measuring limit, the device displays an error message.
- Switching between linear and square root function (for special transmitters)
- Filter for damping the signal fluctuations with an adjustable time constant
The device is designed for switch panel mounting in a borehole of Ø22.5 mm (see Appendix A for dimensional drawings).
Carefully position the supplied gasket on the display rear surface. Insert the cylindrical part of the device into
the borehole and tighten the nut from the rear side of the switch panel. Connect the device to the signal cable in accordance with Appendix B.
The device factory settings can be changed before assembly if necessary. For this purpose the display must
be connected to a standard signal 4-20 mA.

5.2 Operating mode
The operating mode is automatically switched on if the standard signal 4-20 mA is connected to the terminals.
The input signal is digitalised, the square root calculated (if the function is enabled) and the signal accordingly to the set parameters calibrated and displayed. The scale factor is calculated based on the parameter
di.Lo “lower limit” (according to input signal 4 mA) and di.Hi “upper limit” (according to input signal 20 mA).
If the input signal is lower than 3.8 mA, the error message Lo is displayed.
If the input signal is higher than 22.5 mA, the error message Hi is displayed.
Square root function
This function is intended for transmitters with square characteristic curve. To enable the function, the parameter Sqrt must be set to ON.
Damping function
Undesirable signal fluctuations can be suppressed through the adjustable filter constant.
The most important feature of the exponential filters is
3 and Table 2).
If the constant increases, the display reacts to changes of the input signal more slowly and the susceptibility
to interference is lower.
τd – the filter time constant (parameter td) (see Fig.
In programming mode the necessary parameters can be changed (see Table 2).
To return to the operating mode, the button must be pressed for longer than 5 s. If no button is pressed
within 20 s, the device reverts to operating mode automatically.
The flowchart is presented in Fig. 4.

Comments:
1. Factory settings are highlighted.
2. With particular setting parameters the device cannot display the necessary minus sign due to the re-
striction to four segments. The parameters are configured as follows:
di.Lo: -999 è 4 mA
di.Hi: 9999 è 20 mA
With an input measured current of 3.8 mA the correct display should be “-1068”. Due to the restriction to
four segments, the minus sign is removed and the display is “1068”.
3. With particular setting parameters the device cannot actually display the necessary 5 figures due to the
restriction to four segments. The parameters are configured as follows:
di.Lo: -999 è 4 mA
di.Hi: 9999 è 20 mA
With an input measured current of 20.8 mA the correct display should be “10548”. Due to the restriction to
four segments, the first character is removed and the display is “0548”.
To scroll the parameters use the buttons and , to change the parameter use the button .
When the device is switched on for the first time or the password protection is activated, 0 is displayed.
Use the buttons and to enter the correct password (factory setting – 5), then press the button to
confirm.
If an incorrect password is entered, the device reverts to operating mode.
If the password protection is disabled (the parameter PS is oFF), the password is not requested.
If the button is pressed while the parameter PS is being displayed, the following characters appear on the
display: I- - - - . This means that the upper end of the menu has been reached.
If the button is pressed while the parameter Sqrt is being displayed, the following characters appear on
the display: - - - -I. This means that the lower end of the menu has been reached.
Briefly push the button (< 1 s) to change the selected parameter. The display indicates the actual param-
eter value. The factory settings are shown in Fig. 4 and Table 2. The value can be changed using buttons
and . After confirming by pressing the button, you return to the parameter list.
Potential errors and troubleshooting measures are listed in Table 3.
