PRELIMINARY INFORMATIONS
After derived the connections related in Fig. 5, during the normal functioning the instrument
displays the acquired quantity by the device.
If an alarm should be active the instrument displays the alarm code flashing as long as the
cause that has given it does not disappear (see the chapter SIGNALS AND ALARMS).
EC 6-PCT is provided with some configuration parameters that get stored in a non volatile
memory and that permit to set the instrument according with one’s requirements (see the
chapter CONFIGURABILITY).
The 4-20 mA output signal is proportional to the acquired quantity in every point between the
acquired quantity values corresponding to 4 and 20 mA.
Pushing and releasing the key T1 the instrument displays the output current (the unit of measure is the thousandth of Ampere): after displayed the output current push and release the key
T1 (to the release of the key T1 the instrument displays the acquired quantity by the device
again, passed four seconds from the first release of the key T1 without operated with the keys
the instrument automatically turns out from the output current display procedure).
Keeping pushed for four seconds at least the key T2 the instrument displays the device software code for four seconds (for instance if the instrument displays 2608, it means that the
device software code is 26 release 08).
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS SETTING
Configuration parameters are arranged on two levels, to protect the most tricky settings against
undesirable violations and they are arranged in families that can be recognized through the
initial letter of the label.
To gain access to the first level keep pushed for two seconds at least the key T3 (passed two
seconds the instrument displays the label PA and the LED L1 turning ON).
To select a parameter of the first level push and release over and over the key T1 or T2 as long
as the instrument displays the label of the desired parameter.
To modify the parameter value push and release the key T3 (to the release of the key T3 the
instrument displays the actual value) and push and release over and over the key T1 or T2 as
long as the instrument displays the desired value (keeping pushed the key T1 or T2 the value
gets decreased or increased more quickly): after the modification push and release the key T3
(to the release of the key T3 the instrument displays the label of the parameter again); for the
four seconds following the first release of the key T3 or following the release of the key T1 or
T2 the instrument displays the set value and the LED L1 flashes to indicate that a configuration
parameter setting procedure is running (passed four seconds from the first release of the key
T3 or from the release of the key T1 or T2 without operated with the keys the instrument
automatically turns out from the configuration parameter setting procedure).
To turn out from the configuration parameters setting procedure keep pushed at the same time
for four seconds at least the keys T1 and T2 or keep pushed for two seconds at least the key T3
or do not operate with the keys for four seconds at least (time-out exit).
To gain access to the second level enter inside the first level and select the label PA.
Push and release the key T3 (to the release of the key T3 the instrument displays the actual
value) and push and release over and over the key T1 or T2 as long as the instrument displays
-19 (keeping pushed the key T1 or T2 the value gets decreased or increased more quickly):
after the modification push and release the key T3 (to the release of the key T3 the instrument
displays the label PA again) and keep pushed at the same time for four seconds at least the

keys T1 and T2 (passed four seconds the instrument displays the first parameter of the second
level); for the four seconds following the first release of the key T3 or following the release of
the key T1 or T2 the instrument displays the set value and the LED L3 flashes to indicate that
a configuration parameter setting procedure is running (passed four seconds from the first
release of the key T3 or from the release of the key T1 or T2 without operated with the keys the
instrument automatically turns out from the configuration parameter setting procedure).
To select a parameter of the second level push and release over and over the key T1 or T2 as
long as the instrument displays the label of the desired parameter.
To modify the parameter value push and release the key T3 (to the release of the key T3 the
instrument displays the actual value) and push and release over and over the key T1 or T2 as
long as the instrument displays the desired value (keeping pushed the key T1 or T2 the value
gets decreased or increased more quickly): after the modification push and release the key T3
(to the release of the key T3 the instrument displays the label of the parameter again); for the
four seconds following the first release of the key T3 or following the release of the key T1 or
T2 the instrument displays the set value and the LED L1 flashes to indicate that a configuration
parameter setting procedure is running (passed four seconds from the first release of the key
T3 or from the release of the key T1 or T2 without operated with the keys the instrument
automatically turns out from the configuration parameter setting procedure).
To turn out from the configuration parameters setting procedure keep pushed at the same time
for four seconds at least the keys T1 and T2 or keep pushed for two seconds at least the key T3
or do not operate with the keys for four seconds at least (time-out exit).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS
- for the whole period of a corrupted memory data alarm the access to the configuration parameters setting procedure is refused
- the modification of a parameter value of the instrument has not immediate effect;
to obtain this effect, after the modification turn OFF and turn ON again the instrument
- the modification of a parameter value which unit of measure is the hour or the
minute or the second has not immediate effect; to obtain this effect it must not be
executed during the course of the value
- the modification of the parameters c1 and c2 value has immediate effect; to avoid
damages to the connected load, it must be executed with the load not connected
- the configuration parameters values get stored in a non volatile memory even if a
lack of power supply happens.
4-20 mA SIGNAL CALIBRATION
To correct the 4-20 mA signal derive a milliammeter to the terminal 15 and 17, keep pushed the
key T1 before supply the instrument and release this key before display the acquired quantity
by the device (the instrument displays the indication CAiL).
To correct the 4 mA signal push and release over and over the key T1 or T2 as long as the
milliammeter displays 4 mA (keeping pushed the key T1 or T2 the value gets decreased or
increased more quickly): after the modification push and release the key T3 (to the release of
the key T3 the instrument displays the indication CAiH).
To correct the 20 mA signal push and release over and over the key T1 or T2 as long as the
milliammeter displays 20 mA (keeping pushed the key T1 or T2 the value gets decreased or
increased more quickly): after the modification push and release the key T3 (to the release of
the key T3 the instrument moves to the normal functioning).

SIGNALS
If the LED L1 is turned ON it means that a configuration parameters setting procedure is
running.
If the instrument displays the indication “CAiL” or “CAiH” it means that a 4-20 mA signal
calibration procedure is running.
ALARMS
If the instrument displays the indication “E2” flashing (corrupted memory data alarm) it means
that there is a corruption of the configuration data in the memory (turn OFF and turn ON again
the instrument: if to the turning ON again the alarm does not disappear the instrument must be
replaced); during this alarm the access to the configuration parameters setting procedure is
refused and the output signal is 0 mA.
If the instrument displays the indication “Conn” flashing (transmission data failure) it means
that: there is a mistake in the instrument-device connection (verify the instrument-device connection integrity), the speed with which the data get transmitted is not proper (verify if the
parameter L4 of the instrument and of the device has value 1), the device is not connected to
the local power supply (verify that the device be connected to the local power supply); during
this alarm the output signal is 0 mA.
If the instrument displays the indication “----” flashing (corrupted memory data of the device
or device not recognized) it means that: there is a corrupted memory data in the device (see
the paragraph ALARMS of the chapter SIGNALS AND ALARMS of the Operating instructions of
the connected device), the instrument does not recognize the device (keeping pushed for four
seconds at least the key T2 the instrument displays the device software code for four seconds); during this alarm the output signal is 0 mA.
If the instrument displays the indication “Err” flashing (probe failure alarm or cold junction/
third wire failure alarm of the device) it means that there is a probe failure alarm or a cold
junction/third wire failure alarm in the device (see the paragraph ALARMS of the chapter SIGNALS AND ALARMS of the Operating instructions of the connected device); during this alarm
the output signal is 0 mA.
