INTRODUCTION
The APM is a multipurpose, easy to use rate/totalizer ideal for flow rate, total, and
control applications. It accepts current and voltage signals (e.g. 4-20 mA, 0-10 V).
Three of the front panel buttons can be custom-programmed for specific operation.
The basic model includes an isolated 24 VDC transmitter power supply that can
be used to power the input transmitter or other devices. An additional isolated
24 VDC power supply is included with the 4-20 mA output option.
A fully loaded APM rate/totalizer meter has the following: four SPDT relays, 4-20 mA
output, and two 24 VDC power supplies. The APM capabilities may be enhanced by
adding the following external expansion modules: four SPST relays (creating an
eight-relay rate/totalizer), two digital I/O modules with four inputs and four outputs
each, and RS-232 or RS-485 communication adapters.
The eight relays can be used for alarm indication or process control applications.
The 4-20 mA isolated output, Modbus
®
RTU serial communications, and digital I/O
options make the APM an excellent addition to any system.

SAFETY INFORMATION
!
CAUTION: Read complete
instructions prior to installation and operation of the

INSTALLATION
There is no need to remove the meter from its case to complete
the installation, wiring, and setup of the meter for most applications. Instructions are provided for setting up a 12/24 VDC powered meter to operate from 12 VDC and for changing the
transmitter power supply to output 5 or 10 VDC instead of 24
VDC, see page 18.
Unpacking
Remove the meter from box. Inspect the packaging and contents for damage. Report damages, if any, to the carrier.
If any part is missing or the meter malfunctions, please contact
your supplier or the factory for assistance.
Panel Mounting Instructions
Prepare a standard 1/8 DIN panel cutout – 3.622" x 1.772" (92 mm x
45 mm). Refer to Figure 1 for more details.
Clearance: allow at least 6.0" (152 mm) behind the panel for wiring.
Panel thickness: 0.04" - 0.25" (1.0 mm - 6.4 mm).
Recommended minimum panel thickness to maintain Type 4X
rating: 0.06" (1.5 mm) steel panel, 0.16" (4.1 mm) plastic panel.
Remove the two mounting brackets provided with the meter (back-off the two
screws so that there is ¼" (6.4 mm) or less through the bracket. Slide the
bracket toward the front of the case and remove).
Insert meter into the panel cutout.
Install mounting brackets and tighten the screws against the panel. To
achieve a proper seal, tighten the mounting bracket screws evenly until meter is snug to the panel along its short side. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, as

The current input is protected against current overload by a resettable

the nature of the overload.
The fuse limits the current to a safe level when it detects a fault condition, and automatically resets itself when the fault condition is removed.

Modbus® RTU Serial Communications
Serial communications connection is made to an RJ45 connector labeled
M-LINK on Figure 6. Use the PMA-01 for RS-232 interfacing or the PMA03 for RS-422/485 interfacing. The same port is used for interfacing with
all expansion modules (e.g. external relays, digital I/O).
Use the PMA-02 meter copy cable for meter-to-meter interfacing for
cloning purposes (i.e. copying settings from one meter to other meters).
Relay Connections
Relay connections are made to two six-terminal connectors labeled
RELAY1 – RELAY4 on Figure 6. Each relay’s C terminal is common only
to the normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts of the corresponding relay. The relays’ C terminals should not be confused with
the COM (common) terminal of the INPUT SIGNAL connector.

Switching Inductive Loads
The use of suppressors (snubbers) PMA-09 is strongly recommended
when switching inductive loads to prevent disrupting the microprocessor’s operation. The suppressors also prolong the life of the relay contacts. Suppression can be obtained with resistor-capacitor (RC) networks
assembled by the user or purchased as complete assemblies. Refer to
the following circuits for RC network assembly and installation.
C
R
C
R
Figure 12: AC and DC Loads Protection
Choose R and C as follows:
R: 0.5 to 1 for each volt across the contacts.
C: 0.5 to 1 µF for each amp through closed contacts.
Notes:
1. Use capacitors rated for 250 VAC.
2. RC networks may affect load release time of solenoid loads. Check
to confirm proper operation.
3. Install the RC network at the meter's relay screw terminals. An RC
network may also be installed across the load. Experiment for best
results.
Figure 13: Low Voltage DC Loads Protection
RC Networks Available from Dwyer Instruments, Inc.
RC networks are available from Dwyer Instruments, Inc. and should be
applied to each relay contact switching an inductive load. Part number:
PMA-09.
Note:
Relays are de-rated to 1/14th HP (50 watts) with an inductive load.
Use a diode with a reverse
breakdown voltage two to
three times the circuit voltage and forward current at
least as large as the load
current.

is capable of sourcing up to 40 mA.

External Relay & Digital I/O Connections
The relay and the digital I/O expansion modules PMA-11 & PMA-12 are
connected to the meter using a CAT5 cable provided with each module.
The two RJ45 connectors on the expansion modules are identical and
interchangeable; they are used to connect additional modules to the system.
Note: The jumper located between the RJ45 connectors of the PMA-12
must be removed on the second digital I/O module in order for the
system to recognize it as module #2.
Warning!
Do not connect or disconnect the expansion modules
with the power on!
More detailed instructions are provided with each optional expansion module.

Interlock Relay Feature
As the name implies, the interlock relay feature reassigns one, or more,
alarm/control relays for use as interlock relay(s). Interlock contact(s) are
wired to digital input(s) and trigger the interlock relay. This feature is
enabled by configuring the relay, and relative digital input(s) (see page
67). In one example, dry interlock contacts are connected in series to
one digital input which will be used to force on (energize) the assigned
interlock power relay when all interlock contacts are closed (safe). The
interlock relay front panel LED flashes when locked out. The interlock
relay would be wired in-series with the load (N/O contact). See below.

SETUP AND PROGRAMMING
The meter is factory calibrated prior to
shipment to read in milliamps and volts
depending on the input selection. The
calibration equipment is certified to NIST
standards.
Overview
There are no jumpers to set for the meter input selection.
Setup and programming is done through the front panel buttons.
After power and input signal connections have been completed and veri-
fied, apply power to the meter.
