2.1 - Station Mode
The most common operating mode for a WiFi enabled Zen RTU Mini is the Station (or Client) Mode. This mode is used when the unit is required to connect to an access point of an existing WiFi network as a client.
Depending on the plugin, it can be set up to work with a DHCP server (default setting), or to have a xed (or Static) IP address. The user must enter the SSID and passphrase of the WiFi network that it is attempting to connect to.
2.2 - Access Point Mode
Some WorkBench plugins also allow a WiFi enabled Zen RTU Mini to be run as an access point which is totally independent of any other networks. This can be useful if there are no WiFi networks available, or if they are not accessible for security reasons.
When running in Access Point Mode, the Zen RTU Mini will function as a DHCP server and can work with up to 5 Clients. The user can set the SSID, passphrase, and also which WiFi channel to use.

3.2 - Installation Environment
The Zen RTU Mini should be installed in a location that does not exceed the maxi­mum operating temperature, and at a safe distance from other devices that generate excessive heat. The installation environment should provide good air circulation to the unit.
ZEN-RTU-MINI-MAN-17V01 (0202) Copyright © 2017 Dene Instruments
The plastic casing and product label may be cleaned, if required, using a so, damp cloth and neutral soap product. Caution should
be exercised when cleaning the unit to avoid water dripping inside, as this will damage the internal circuits.
3.3 - Installation Instructions
Antenna mounted outside enclosure using antenna extension cable
The Zen RTU Mini is rated IP20, and should be mounted in a protective enclosure to protect the unit from weather conditions and dust. If using the Zen RTU Mini with WiFi, the unit must be located within range of a WiFi network. The maximum distance is 1476 (450m) L.O.S.
A - Plastic Enclosure (Fig 1)
Prepare the Plastic Enclosure (not supplied) as illustrated by mounting a DIN 35 rail, cable glands, and any other required components.
If you are using the WiFi model, the antenna may be mounted directly on the Zen RTU Mini (inside the Plastic Enclosure).
B - Metal Enclosure (Fig 2)
Prepare the Metal Enclosure (not supplied) as illustrated by mounting a DIN 35 rail, cable glands, and any other required components.
This enclosure type should be earthed.
If you are using the WiFi model or a cellular modem, a Metal Enclosure will impede your signal strength. In these cases, the antenna should be installed on the outside of the en­closure using a compatible Antenna Exten-
sion Cable.
C - DIN Rail Mounting (Fig 3)
To clip the unit onto the DIN rail: (1) Hook the upper part of the unit onto the rail, and then (2) Press down towards the rail until the red hook clicks into place.
Leave at least 0.79" (2cm) clear on either side of the unit, and at least 1.97" (5cm) clear above and below the unit, to allow room for airow and wiring.

E - Removal from DIN Rail (Fig 4)
To unclip the unit from the DIN rail, power the unit down and remove the power connector.
Then insert a small screwdriver into the slot on the red hook (just visible when the power connector is removed), and lever it down. This will release the hook, allowing the unit to be detached from the DIN rail.
3.4 - EMC Installation Guidelines
Fig 4
The Zen RTU Mini has been designed to cope with large EMC disturbances. This
has been achieved by continual testing and improvement of ltering and layout techniques.
The Zen RTU Mini meets CE noise require­ments, and even surpasses them in many tests. (For full details and test results, see Appendix A.) However in some applications with less than optimum installations and large power switching, the EMC perfor­mance of the unit can be further improved by:
A Installing the unit in an earthed Metal
Enclosure (as in Fig 2). This is particular-
ly useful if the control box is mounted close to large power switching devices like contactors. Every switching cycle there is a possibility of generating a large amount of near eld radiated noise. The Metal Enclosure, acting as a faraday cage, will shunt this radiation to ground and away from the unit.
B Increasing the physical distance from
the power devices. For example, in­creasing the control box distance from 6" to 12" from the noise source will re­duce the noise seen by the control box by a factor of 4. (Probably the cheapest and best results in this situation could
be obtained by adding RC snubbers to the contactors or power switches.)
C Using shielded cable on sensitive input
and control signal lines. Good results can be obtained by grounding the shields to the metal enclosure close to the entry point. All cables act as aeri­als and pick up unwanted R.F. radiated signals and noise; the earthed shield acts as a faraday cage around the ca­bles, shunting the unwanted energy to ground.
Shields can also help with capacitively coupled noise typically found in circum­stances when signal cable is laid on top of noisy switching power cables. Of course in this case you are better o to keep separate signal and power lines.
D Laying cable on earthed cable trays can
also help reduce noise seen by the Zen RTU Mini. This is particularly useful if there are long cable runs, or the unit is close to radiating sources such as two way radios.

The RTD (standing for Resistance Temperature Device) is highly stable and accurate, and is fast becoming the most popular temperature sensor in industry. Oen referred to as Pt100 and Pt1000, the Pt repre­sents platinum (the dominant metal in its construction), and 100/1000 is the resistance in ohms at 0°C.
Supported RTD types/ranges
Pt100/Pt1000 (0.02°F/0.01°C res) -328 to 572°F (-200 to 300°C)
Pt100/Pt1000 (0.1°F/0.1°C res) -328 to 1472°F (-200 to 800°C)
Note 1 All RTD inputs are isolated from
each other.
Note 2 All RTD cables must be screened, with screen earthed at one end only. All three wires must be the same resistance (i.e. the same type and size).
Note 3 To minimize lead resistance errors, 3-wire RTD’s should be used. Oset errors for 2-wire RTD’s may be compensated for in the soware.
Note 4 Do not run input cables in close vicinity to noisy power supplies, contac­tors or motor cables. The best practice is to run input cables on a separate earthed cable tray. This will minimize RFI eects, of which magnitude cannot be easily predicted.

Note 2 For accurate thermocouple mea-
surements (especially at low tempera­tures) the top cover must always be tted. Avoid dras and temperature dierences across terminals. Once installation is com­plete, close the cabinet door and allow the cabinet to reach equilibrium. This may take several hours. Place all thermocouple probes into a calibrated thermal bath at temperature of interest. Any osets can be zeroed out in the soware.
Note 3 All thermocouples are referenced to a combination of four CJC tempera­ture sensors on the main Zen board. This minimizes errors caused by the mounting orientation of the Zen unit, and tempera­ture dierences in enclosures. However, for high accuracy applications it is still

recommended to zero errors (see Note 2).
Note 4 All cables must be screened, with screen earthed at one end only.
Note 5 When thermocouple inputs are se­lected, an upscale resistor is automatically connected to the T/C + input, resulting in an overow condition for open or broken sensors.

MAINTENANCE
9.1 - Calibration
Your Zen RTU Mini has been fully calibrated at the factory, and can be recalibrated in soware using Dene WorkBench (see Section 5). Scaling to convert the input signal to a desired dis­play value is also done using WorkBench
If your Zen RTU Mini appears to be behaving incorrectly or inaccurately, refer to troubleshoot­ing before attempting to calibrate it. When recalibration is required (generally every 2 years), it should only be performed by qualied technicians using appropriate equipment.
Calibration does not change any user programmed parameters. However, it may aect the accuracy of the input signal values previously stored.
