If you ordered any of the available options, they will be shipped in a separate container to avoid any damage
to your indicator/controller.

1.2 Safety Considerations

This device is marked with the international caution symbol. It is important to read this manual before
installing or commissioning this device as it contains important information relating to Safety and EMC
(Electromagnetic Compatibility).

This instrument is a panel mount device protected in accordance with EN 61010-1:2001, electrical safety
requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory. Installation of this instrument should
be done by qualified personnel. In order to ensure safe operation, the following instructions should be followed.

This instrument has no power-on switch. An external switch or circuit breaker shall be included in the
building installation as a disconnecting device. It shall be marked to indicate this function, and it shall be in close
proximity to the equipment within easy reach of the operator. The switch or circuit-breaker shall not interrupt the
Protective Conductor (Earth wire), and it shall meet relevant requirements of IEC 947-1 and IEC 947-3
(International Electrotechnical Commission). The switch shall not be incorporated in the main supply cord.

Furthermore, to provide protection against excessive energy being drawn from the main supply in case of a
fault in the equipment, an overcurrent protection device shall be installed.

• Do not exceed voltage rating on the label located on the top of the instrument housing.

• Always disconnect power before changing signal and power connections.

• Do not use this instrument on a work bench without its case for safety reasons.

• Do not operate this instrument in flammable or explosive atmospheres.

• Do not expose this instrument to rain or moisture.

• Unit mounting should allow for adequate ventilation to ensure instrument does not exceed operating

temperature rating.

DFI INFINITY CS (V- M3598/N/0906) 2 CF 70

• Use electrical wires with adequate size to handle mechanical strain and power requirements. Install
without exposing bare wire outside the connector to minimize electrical shock h azards.

EMC Considerations

• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.

• Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.

• Use signal wire connections with twisted-pair cables.

• Install Ferrite Bead (s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC problems persist.

Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!

2.6 Disassembly

You may need to open up the meter for one of the following reasons:

DFI INFINITY CS (V- M3598/N/0906) 6 CF 70

• To check or change the 115 or 230 Vac power jumpers.

• To install or remove jumpers on the main board.

Disconnect the power supply before proceeding.

To remove and access the main board, follow these steps:

• Disconnect main power from the meter.

• Remove the back case cover.

• Lift the back of the main board upwards and let it slide out of the case.

3.0 GETTING STARTED

Caution: The meter has no power-on switch, so it will be in operation as soon as you apply power.

If you power off/on the meter, or perform a hard reset (press the RESET button twice), the meter shows
followed by

3.1 Rating/Product Label

This label is located on top of the meter housing (refer to Figure 3-4).

3.2 Main Board Power Jumpers (Refer To Figure 3-1)

Important: If you want to change the Factory preset jumpers, do the following steps, otherwise go to
Section 3.3.
Warning: Disconnect the power from the unit before proceeding. This device must only be reconfigured

by a specially trained electrician with corresponding qualifications. Failure to follow all instructions and
warnings may result in injury!

1. Remove the main board from the case. Refer to Section 2.6.

2. Locate the solder jumpers W1, W2, and W3 (located near the edge of the main board alongside the
transformer).

3. If your power requirement is 115 Vac, solder jumpers W1 and W3 should be wired, but jumper W2 should

not. If your power requirement is 230 V ac, solder jumper W2 should be wired, but jumpers W1 and W3
should not.

Note: W4 jumper is not used.

Refer to Table 6-1 for a summary list of menu configuration.

To select a decimal point display position, follow these steps:

1. Press the MENU button until the meter shows

(Default)

, followed by

menu.

4.3 Using Reading Scale and Offset

Refer to Table 6-1 for a summary list of menu configuration.

To scale the meter to show readings in engineering units. There are two methods. One method is to scale with
known inputs. Another method is to scale without known inputs: you calculate input values based on the
transducer specifications and manually enter them through the keyboard.

4.3.1 Scaling with Known Loads (On-Line Calibration)

For maximum resolution, find the maximum signal that will be applied to the meter input.

• For regular voltage input, refer to the main body of Table 4-1.

• For millivolt or milliamp input, refer to the main body of Table 4-2.

Set the DIP switch positions as indicated at the top of either Table 4-1 or 4-2. The numbers 1 through 8 in the top
row of either table represent dip switches 1 through 8 and the O, C or X directly below the number indicates the
correct position of each switch.

• ‘O’ switch should be open or up.

DFI INFINITY CS (V- M3598/N/0906) 14 CF 70

• ‘C’ switch should be closed or down.

• ‘X’ switch is used to control excitation (refer to Table 2-3 to determine correct position of these switches).

Once DIP switches have been positioned correctly, apply power. Proceed to the

(Reading Configuration)

and set R2 equal to the value in the right hand column of the chart.

* Reading Configuration
To scale with known inputs: apply known loads to a transducer connected to a meter, or simulate the transducer

output with a voltage or current simulator. To scale with known inputs, follow these steps:

1. Apply a known load equal to approximately 0% of the transducer range.

2. Press the MENU button until the meter shows

.

To scale without known inputs, calculate input values based on transducer specifications and manually enter them
via the front-panel push buttons. The following example assumes load cells with these specifications:
Maximum Load: 100.0 lbs

Sensor Excitation: 10 Vdc

Output: 31 mV = (3.1 mV/V) x (10 V)

WARRANTY REPAIR POLICY

Limited Warranty On Products

Any Cooper Instruments product which, under normal operating conditions, proves defective in material or in
workmanship within one year of the date of shipment by Cooper will be repaired or replaced free of charge provided
that a return material authorization is obtained from Cooper and the defective product is sent, transportation
charges prepaid, with notice of the defect, and it is established that the product has been properly installed,
maintained, and operated within the limits of rated and normal usage. Replacement or repaired product will be
shipped F.O.B. from our plant. The terms of this warranty do not extend to any product or part thereof which, under
normal usage, has an inherently shorter useful life than one year. The replacement warranty detailed here is the
buyer’s exclusive remedy, and will satisfy all obligations of Cooper whether based on contract, negligence, or
otherwise. Cooper is not responsible for any incidental or consequential loss or damage which might result from a
failure of any and all other warranties, express or implied, including implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for
particular purpose. Any unauthorized disassembly or attempt to repair voids this warranty.

Obtaining Service Under Warranty

Advance authorization is required prior to the return to Cooper Instruments. Before returning the item, contact the
Repair Department c/o Cooper Instruments at [phone] for a Return Material Authorization number.
Shipment to Cooper shall be at buyer’s expense and repaired or replacement items will be shipped F.O.B. from our
plant in Warrenton, Virginia. Non-verified problems or defects may be subject to a $150 evaluation charge. Please
return the original calibration data with the unit.

Repair Warranty

All repairs of Cooper products are warranted for a period of 90 days from date of shipment. This warranty applies
only to those items that were found defective and repaired; it does not apply to products in which no defect was
found and returned as is or merely recalibrated. It may be possible for out-of-warranty products to be returned to
the exact original specifications or dimensions.

DFI INFINITY CS (V- M3598/N/0906) 32 CF 70

* Technical description of the defect: In order to properly repair a product, it is absolutely necessary for Cooper to
receive information specifying the reason the product is being returned. Specific test data, written observations on
the failure and the specific corrective action you require are needed.
