1 GETTING STARTED
1.1 Important
Read these instructions carefully before installing and using the instru-
ment and follow all additional information for installation and electrical
connection; keep these instructions close to the instrument for future
consultations.
1.2 Installing the instrument
Panel mounting, with click brackets (supplied by the builder); dimen-
sions in mm (in).
DIMENS. MINIMUM TYPICAL MAXIMUM
A 71.0 (2.795) 71.0 (2.795) 71.8 (2.826)
B 29.0 (1.141) 29.0 (1.141) 29.8 (1.173)
Additional information for installation:
• 59.0 (2.322) is the maximum depth with screw terminal blocks
• 83.0 (3.267) is the maximum depth with extractable terminal blocks
• the panel thickness must not be higher than 8.0 mm (0.314 in)
• working conditions (working temperature, humidity, etc.) must be be-
tween the limits indicated in the technical data
• do not install the instrument close to heating sources (heaters, hot air
ducts, etc.), devices provided with big magnetos (big speakers, etc.),
locations subject to direct sunlight, rain, humidity, dust, mechanical
vibrations or bumps
• according to the safety legislation, the protection against electrical
parts must be ensured by a correct installation of the instrument; the
parts that ensure the protection must be installed so that you can not
remove them if not by using a tool.
1.3 Wiring diagram
With reference to the wiring diagrams:
• the serial port (by request) is the port for the communication with the
supervision system (through a serial interface, via TTL, with MODBUS
communication protocol) or with the programming key; the port must
not be used at the same time for the same purposes.
Additional information for electrical connection:
• do not operate on the terminal blocks with electrical or pneumatic
screwers
• if the instrument has been moved from a cold location to a warm one,
the humidity could condense on the inside; wait about an hour be-
fore supplying it
• test the working power supply voltage, working electrical frequency
and working electrical power of the instrument; they must correspond
with the local power supply
• disconnect the local power supply before servicing the instrument
• do not use the instrument as safety device
• for repairs and information on the instrument please contact Evco
sales network.
2 USER INTERFACE
2.1 Turning on/off the instrument
To turn on the instrument you have to supply it; to turn it off it is enough
to cut off the power supply.
If a lack of power supply arises when the count is running, the opera-
tion of the instrument to the restoration of the power supply will de-
pend on parameter t26.
2.2 Starting the count
• make sure no procedure is running
• provoke the effect you have set with parameter t11:
- if t11 = 0, press or activate input start
- if t11 = 1, press
- if t11 = 2, activate input start.
2.3 Stopping the count
• make sure parameter t17 has value 0
• provoke the effect you have set with parameter t12:
- if t12 = 0, press or activate input stop
- if t12 = 1, press
- if t12 = 2, activate input stop.
Otherwise:
• press 4 s.
2.4 Suspending/resuming the count
To suspend the count:
• make sure parameter t17 has value 2
• provoke the effect you have set with parameter t12:
- if t12 = 0, press or activate input stop
- if t12 = 1, press
- if t12 = 2, activate input stop.
If the count is suspended when load 1 (or load 2) is turned on, the load
status during the suspension will depend on parameter t24 (or t25):
- if t24 (or t25) = 0, the load will be turned off
- if t24 (or t25) = 1, the load will remain turned on.
To resume the count:
• provoke the effect you have set with parameter t11:
- if t11 = 0, press or activate input start
- if t11 = 1, press
- if t11 = 2, activate input start.
2.5 The display
If the count is running, the display will show the kind of count you have
set with parameter t15:
• if t15 = 0, the display will show the remaining time (count down)
• if t15 = 0, the display will show the elapsed time (count up).
If the count is suspended, the display will flash.
2.6 Silencing the buzzer in alarm
• press a button (the first pressure of the button does not provoke its
usual effect).
3 OPERATION
3.1 Preliminary information
The operation mainly depends on the instrument code.
3.2 Operation with instrument code = 1
3.3 Operation with instrument code = 2
If the cyclical operation is not active (parameter t18 = 0), parameter t2
will not be visible.
3.4 Operation with instrument code = 3
To start the count:
• make sure parameter t11 has value 0 or 2
• activate input start.
To stop the count:
• press 4 s.
If the duration of the activation of input start is shorter than the time
you have set with parameter t1, load 1 and the buzzer will not be turned
on.
3.5 Operation with instrument code = 4
During the activation of load 1:
• the display shows “00:00” flashing
• if you try to suspend the count, you will stop it.
3.6 Operation with instrument code = 5 (only EVK722)
If the cyclical operation is not active (parameter t18 = 0), parameter t3
will not be visible.
3.7 Operation with instrument code = 6 (only EVK722)
3.8 Operation with instrument code = 7 (only EVK722)
3.9 Operation with instrument code = 8 (only EVK722)
