Installation
To install your instrument, you will need to carry out the following steps:
Apply the engineering units label to the right-hand side of the display
panel. A sheet of labels covering the most commonly used
engineering units is supplied with all units. If the unit you require is
not on the sheet, a blank label is provided on which you can use
LETRASET™.
Install the instrument into a panel.
Make connections to the instrument.
PLEASE NOTE:
Ensure that the power to the instrument is switched off before
carrying out any installation or maintenance work.
It is recommended that all connections to the terminals are made using
ferrules to afford greater reliability and to prevent short circuits
between adjacent terminals.
Avoid installing the instrument close to switch gear, contactors or
motor starters.
Do not place signal and power supply wiring in the same loom.
Use screened cables or wires for all signal/sensor leads with screen
earthed at one point only.
Panel Mounting
The instrument is supplied with an installation kit consisting of a mounting
clamp, a panel sealing gasket and terminal connectors.
Ensure that there is sufficient space behind the instrument panel - the
instrument requires a depth of 100mm (110mm when any options are
fitted) plus enough space to allow safe routing of cables.
To install the instrument:
1. Make panel cut-out with the dimensions as shown overleaf. Panel
thickness from 1.5mm to 9.5mm can be accommodated.

2. Fit the rubber seal by slipping it over the unit from the rear of the
box and pushing it forwards until it sits behind the front lip of the
unit.
3. Insert the instrument into the panel from the front, pushing it through
as far as the front lip, to ensure correct seating of the rubber seal
between the panel and the unit.
4. Working from behind the panel, take the mounting clamp, slide over
the rear of the instrument and push forwards.
5. Continue to push the clip forward until the ratchet operates and the
clamp is sufficiently compressed to apply adequate pressure on the
panel.

Powering the Instrument
THERE ARE 2 SUPPLY VARIANTS: a mains supply variant and a low
voltage supply variant. The instrument is designed to operate from either
an AC supply with voltages in the range 90 to 230V AC 50/60Hz mains
supply or from a DC supply with voltages in the range 24 to 32V DC (20
to 30V AC) 50/60Hz low voltage supply with a maximum power
consumption of 20VA when all outputs are fully loaded and the display
has all segments illuminated.
The diagrams below show how the instrument should be connected to the
mains supply. Isolation should be provided by a double pole switch and a
time delay 200mA fuse.
WARNING - The instrument is designed for installation in an
enclosure which provides adequate protection against electric shock.
Access to power terminals should be restricted to authorised skilled
personnel only. Application of supply voltages higher than those for
which the instrument is intended may compromise safety and cause
permanent damage.
Recommended Mains Supply Connections
Recommended Low Voltage Supply Connections
BEFORE POWERING UP THE INSTRUMENT,
check the model label on the underside of the
instrument for the supply variant, eg. MAINS OR
LOW VOLTAGE.

Menu Options
Input Default: mV
Allows the input type and range to be defined. There are 12 ranges
for measurement available. When a thermosensor range is selected, ie. J,
K, t, r, S, n or RTD, the instrument will automatically set the appropriate
scaling in oC. Note: Due to the limitations of a 7-segment display, the mA
option is displayed as na, the mV option is displayed as nu and the
ohms option is displayed as ohns.
Engineering Units Default: Eng
Allows the user to define the units of measurement to be displayed
in oC, oF and Eng (linear engineering units).
Decimal Position Default: 1
Defines the position of the decimal point for the display; 0 or 1 for
thermocouples/RTD and 0 to 3 for process inputs.
High and Low Display Values Default: Low = 000.0, high = 100.0
The low display value LdSP is used for scaling purposes
when combined with the other scaling parameters L-iP, HdSP, and H-iP.
These 4 parameters can scale the measured input to any engineering units
as long as the relationship between the displayed units is linear. LdSP is
used to define the value to be displayed for an input defined by L-iP.
HdSP is used to define the value to be displayed for an input defined by
H-iP.
High and Low Input Values
Correspond to the signal output values from the sensor
which will cause the instrument to display the values set as LdSP and
HdSP. L-iP and H-iP can be input in mV, V, mA etc.
There are 2 methods of setting the low and high input
values, either by manually entering a signal value using the VAL option or
by sampling the sensor output using the rEAd option. Values entered
manually are entered in the same way as other numeric values (see

Editing a Value page 11). The value to be entered will usually be
supplied with the data accompanying your sensor. However, if it is not
available, the output from the sensor may be rEAd from an external
source by the instrument. When performing a rEAd input as part of the
scaling process, the sensor must have the corresponding physical value
applied. This may be pressure, weight, temperature etc. The instrument
will sample the output from the sensor and save this as the L-ip and H-iP
scaling parameters.
A example of scaling: 0 - 100 mV = 0 -1000 (psi)
LdSP = 0 L-iP = 0 (mV)
HdSP = 1000 H-ip = 100.0 (mV)
Display Filtering Default: 000
This parameter is used to apply a digital filter to the display value.
The filter is defined in seconds which approximate to the time constant.
This parameter would be used to damp out any effects from noisy signals.
Mains Frequency Default: 50Hz
Set to the mains frequency dependent on the local mains supply.
Alarm Messages Display Default: On
Enables display alarm messages when set to on or disables
messages when set to oFF.
NOTE: Alarm 3 has the highest priority for messages and Alarm 1 has the
lowest.
Alarm 1 Mode Default: None
Defines whether Alarm 1 is disabled when to set to nonE or
operates as a high or low alarm.
As Alarm 1 if Alarms 2 and 3 fitted.

Alarm Setpoint 1 Default: 100.0
Defines the alarm setpoint for Alarm 1 in display units.
As Alarm Setpoint 1 if Alarms 2 and 3 are fitted.
Hysteresis 1 Default: 0.1
Specifies the size of a band around an Alarm Setpoint within
which the measured value may fluctuate without the alarm state changing.
It is in the same engineering units as the displayed value and the Setpoint.
The hysteresis value defines both the on and oFF hysteresis.
on hysteresis: For a high alarm it is the value (in engineering units) above
the setpoint beyond which the alarm is turned on. For a low alarm, it is the
measured value below the setpoint beyond which the alarm is turned on.
oFF hysteresis: For a high alarm it is the value (in engineering units)
below the setpoint beyond which the alarm is turned off. For a low alarm,
it is the measured value above the setpoint beyond which the alarm is
turned off.
The default hysteresis value for all alarms is 0.1.
As Hysteresis 1 if Alarms 2 and 3 are fitted.
Relay 1 Default: True
Defines the operation of Relay 1, which can be in either the
energised alarm state (truE) or the de-energised alarm state (FLSE).
As Relay 1 if Alarms 2 and 3 are fitted.
A100 Default: 100.0
Defines the display value which corresponds to 20mA or 10V
from the optional analogue retransmission.
A0 Default: 0.0
Defines the display value which corresponds to 4mA or 0V from
the optional analogue retransmission.

Messages
The input circuit, when measuring mV, thermocouple or RTD, has
detected an open circuit sensor connection. When a sensor break is
detected by the instrument, the measured value will be forced upscale
causing any high alarms to be activated.
Displayed when the measured value goes out of its
allowed range, either outside the normal range of the connected
thermosensor or the maximum/minimum display range for the decimal
places set.
Alarm Messages
Alarm messages are 3 letters followed by the alarm number. The codes
are:
High alarm. Eg. HiA3 indicates high Alarm 3
has been activated.
Low alarm.
NOTE: Alarm 3 has the highest priority for messages and Alarm 1 has the
lowest.
