Description
The V560 is a loop powered digital process indicator which derives
its power entirely from the 4-20mA or 10-50mA signal being
measured. No local power is required at the point of measurement. A large, 3½ digit, 0.8" high LCD provides clear visibility and
can be quickly and easily calibrated to the required range. Zero
can be adjusted to ±1999 counts with a span of 100 counts or
greater. The trailing “dummy” zero allows display readings to
±19990. The decimal point position is switch selectable and can be
independently set to any of 4 positions (1. 9. 9. 9. 0).
Application
The V560 is useful in any application requiring a wide ranging 3½
digit display from a 4-20mA or 10-50mA current source. The
enclosure constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide
a degree of protection to personnel against access to hazardous
parts; electronics inside the enclosure against ingress of solid
foreign objects; harmful effects on the electronics due to the
ingress of water (rain, sleet, snow); and the external mechanism(s)
remain operable when ice laden. The V560 is ideal for displaying
process variables such as temperature, pressure or flow, in local
and remote areas where line power is either impractical or not
available. Refer to the V565 High-Performance LCD indicator for
1.00 Volt loop-drop and square root selection.

Options/Accessories
C Conduit housing for internal mounting of T600/T700 series
transmitters; includes external mounting bracket, conformal
coating, T906 mounting plate, screws (pictured above).
U Urethane coating of internal circuitry for additional
protection from corrosive atmospheres.
C620 Factory Calibration, specify desired range.
T906 TransPak mounting plate for option C enclosure.
V860 Conduit mounting kit (option C without LCD main board),
includes T906 mounting plate & screws.
Calibration
The V560 indicator is easily configured using the switches and
potentiometers mounted on the circuit board located directly
behind the hinged front cover. To configure and calibrate, refer to
the function switches diagram. Position the switches accordingly
to obtain the desired zero and span count values. Next, fine tune
the display using the zero and span trimpots. Displays calibrated
for either 4-20mA or 10-50mA will maintain calibration within 1%
if switched to the other range.
The V560 is FM/CSA approved for intrinsically safe operation in
Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C, & D hazardous locations when
connected in accordance with manufacturer’s drawing 7900024(FM) or 790-0025(CSA).
Note: Span refers to counts from "minimum" and not a full-scale
input.

Function Switches
Example shows the V560 configured for a 4/20mA input range (Switch S2), a span between 950 and 2100 counts (Switches 6 and 7), and zero
between -1999 and -450 counts (Switches 8 and 9).

Mounting Enclosures
The following dimension drawing shows both the panel mount (thin case) and the conduit-mount enclosures. The conduit mount is represented
by a dotted line in the top and side views only. The front and back view dimensions are the same for both enclosures.
Note: panel mount includes an attached gasket surrounding the terminals, providing a seal to the panel and the 1" diameter cutout. Four screws
should be used to ensure a tight, flush fit between the panel and the V560.

The V560 Conduit-Mount enclosure conveniently mounts any
TransPak two-wire transmitter within a type 3S-rated housing for
on-site process loop indication.
