GENERAL INFORMATION
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual will assist you in operating and maintaining the GPI electronics supplied with your GPI meter or as an accessory unit on both local and remote models. The GPI Electronics can be used in indoor or outdoor applications where occasional exposure to moisture is common.
• The 4-20 mA Out with Display is available in two ver­sions. One indicates flowrate in units/minute and one in units/hour. Both indicate flow totals in gallons and litres.
• The 4-20 mA Out with Display can be used on all GPI models, including the Precision G series, the Industrial Grade G2 series, the Commercial Grade A1 series, and the positive displacement GM series oval gear meters.
Product differences in this manual are identified by either, Local or Remote as necessary.
If the meter was purchased with this display, then it will come calibrated from the factory for gallons “GAL” and litre “LTR”. Field calibration is also available.
If the unit was purchased as an accessory or remote, the calibration has not been entered and the end user will need to configure and calibrate the display.
The GPI 4-20 mA Out with Display is a flow totalizer and rate meter with industry standard current loop output. The unit is loop powered, and provides a 4-20 mA analog output propor­tional to the frequency signal for communication with PLCs and other customer equipment. The 4-20 mA (or 0-20 mA) output is calibrated under actual flow conditions with simple push-button calibration. Auxiliary output includes 0-5 VDC.
The microprocessor-based electronics have extremely low power requirements and are completely powered by the 4-20 loop. The electronics provides the options of local (on the meter) and/or remote (up to 5,000 feet) display. Flow total and rate are displayed on a large 6-digit LCD readout with two-point floating decimal for totals from .01 to 999,999. All operations are easily accessed with the push buttons on the display front panel.
CAUTION
This unit is not FM Approved. Therefore, use of this transmitter with an approved metering system voids FM Approval.
NOTE: This unit is loop powered, requiring an input power
supply of 8.5 to 35 volts (24 VDC is recommended).
NOTE: Setpoint calibration of the unit is required for the 4-20
mA, 0-20 mA, and 0-5 V output options.
• When measuring flammable liquids, observe precau­tions against fire or explosion.
• When working in hazardous environments, always exercise appropriate safety precautions.
• When applying external power to the transmitter, use DC power only.
• Disconnect external power to the transmitter before detaching or attaching input or output wires.
• Ground loops between sensor and user equipment can damage the transmitter and can be dangerous.
• If you cannot galvanically isolate the sensor from earth ground, you may need to use the transmitter’s optically isolated inputs.
• Be sure O-rings and seals are kept in good repair.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Installation should be performed only by qualified personnel, and in accordance with local governing regulations.
The following installation guidelines are separated by meter series and mounting type.
Precision G Series:
Local – The GX510 4-20 mA Out with Display mounts directly to the 1 inch MNPT conduit connector.
Remote – The GX500 4-20 mA Out with Display connects via an output cable as shown in the Wiring Diagram.
Industrial Grade G2 Series:
Local – The GX510 4-20 mA Out with Display requires the GPI Conduit Connector Kit (Part #113437-01) for local mounting to the G2 series meter.
Remote – The GX500 4-20 mA Out with Display connects via an output cable as shown in the Wiring Diagram.
Commercial Grade A1 Series:
Local – The GX510 4-20 mA Out with Display requires the GPI Conduit Connector Kit (Part #113437-01) for local mounting to the A1 series meter.
Remote – The GX500 4-20 mA Out with Display connects via an output cable as shown in the Wiring Diagram.
GM Oval Gear Series:
Local – The 4-20 mA Out with Display is mounted directly to the oval gear meter housing.
Page 3
Remote – The GX500 4-20 mA Out with Display con­nects via an output cable as shown in the Wiring Dia­gram.
Mount the GPI 4-20 mA Out with Display using bolts, screws or standard U-bolts for pipes. Mounting options include:
• Wall
• Pipe
• Meter (1 inch FNPT conduit connection required)
WIRING
This manual refers to various models of GPI flowmeters. Determine what type of input the electronics will receive and what type of output, if any, you require. Use the diagrams found in the wiring diagrams section (if the unit is not already wired) to correctly wire the system.
The display is externally powered by the loop.
NOTE: Totals will be lost with loss of power on loop.
Environmental
Choose a mounting location suitable for the 4-20 mA Out with Display. The ideal mounting location is where the:
• flowmeter is as close as possible.
• mounting surface has minimal vibration.
• ambient temperature is +32°F to +140°F (0°C to +60°C).
• cable lengths are minimal.
Avoid mounting locations where the 4-20 mA Out with Dis­play is:
• subject to constant exposure to water or other liquids (occasional low-pressure splashing will not harm unit if cable entry points are well-sealed).
• subject to > 5g shock loading.
• facing the sun directly for long periods of time.
• close to high voltage/current runs, DC motors, internal combustion engines, or frequency inverters.
Cable Guidelines
4-20 mA Current Loop:
• The current loop itself is very resistant to electrical noise pickup and shielded cable is seldom needed except in very “noisy” (electrical) locations and/or when very long runs (thousands of feet) are used.
Sensor Cabling:
• Some products come with 20 ft. of shielded cable.
• If you require a longer cable, a 100 ft. cable kit is avail­able from GPI, or use Belden 9363 cable. When wiring longer lengths of cable, be sure to connect the shield to LOCAL-COM ONLY! (Multiple shield connections may cause ground-loop problems).
• Some trial and error may be needed because of the wide variety of user conditions. Try to keep cable lengths short!
CAUTION
Determine maximum power supply voltage after de­termining maximum allowable voltage of all electronic devices in the system.
The 4-20 mA Out with Display may come with 20 ft. of cable to connect to the meter. The customer must supply the com­munication loop cable. Although the unit is usually powered through the communication loop, there are some circum­stances that might require external power.
Connecting the Equipment:
• Remove the faceplate by removing the four (4) corner screws.
• Attach wiring from your equipment according to the following terminal connections and wiring diagrams, depending on your circumstances.

CONFIGURATION
Configuration determines what information is present on the LCD display. For instance, total, flowrate, type of calibration, etc.
The Display has been programmed with many features, which can be enabled by the end user through the configuration process. By disabling unnecessary features, day-to-day flowmeter operation can be greatly simplified, making the unit easier to use. Alternately, there are several features not found in the default configuration.
Available features include:
• 0 to 3 totals, either resettable (Batch) or non-resettable (Cumulative).
• Flowrate or no flowrate. Available in units per minute, hour or day.
• Three different field calibration methods: K-factor entry, Dispense/Display or % Correction Factor.
• Various units of measure (some or all): GL (gallon), LT (litre), IGL (imperial gallon), QT (quart), CF (cubic feet), CM (cubic meter), BL (42 gal. barrel), CC (cubic centi­meter) or OZ (ounce).
Changing Configuration Settings
Access to the configuration settings require a specific pro­cedure and a pin code available through the GPI Website at www.gpimeters.net or call GPI Customer Serivce at 888­996-3837.
OPERATION
Computer Display
All operations are reflected in the LCD readout. The large center digits indicate amounts, where smaller words or “icons” located above and below indicate specific information regarding totals, flow, calibration and units of measure.
Computer is on continuously while the loop is powered.
Press the DISPLAY button briefly to switch between the TOTAL 1, TOTAL 2 BATCH and FLOWRATE. Press DISPLAY briefly to display the TOTAL 2 BATCH. Hold the DISPLAY button for 3 seconds to reset the Batch Total to zero.
When fluid is flowing through the meter, a small propeller icon is highlighted.
Flowrate Feature
To use this feature, press and release DISPLAY until FLOWRATE icon appears. The factory set time base will be highlighted to the right of FLOWRATE (M = minutes, H = hours, D = days). When FLOWRATE is invoked, the display will be indicating rate of flow.
Factory and Field Calibration
All calibration information is visible to the user as icons on the top line of the display, above the numeric digits.
All units are configured with a “factory” calibration. Both gallons and liters are available (“GL” or “LT” will be displayed). While holding the CALIBRATE button, briefly press DISPLAY to toggle between gallons and litres. This factory calibration (indicated with FAC) is permanently programmed into the computer and is not user adjustable.
NOTE: Your computer may have other units of measure
programmed into it. If so, holding the CALIBRATE but­ton and momentarily pressing the DISPLAY button will toggle through all factory set units. Other possible units are: IGL (imperial gallon), QT (quart), CF (cubic feet), CM (cubic meter), BL (42 gal. barrel), CC (cubic centimeter) or OZ (ounce).
Switching between different units will not corrupt the Total’s contents. For example, in GL mode, the computer totalizes
10.00 gallons, if the user switches to LT mode, the display will read 37.85 litres (the same volume, different unit).
The “field” calibration may be set by the user, and can be changed or modified at any time using the calibration procedure described in the Calibration Section. Totals derived from the field calibration are invoked when the FAC icon is no longer visible on the top line of the display.
Batch and Cumulative Totals
The computer maintains two totals. The Cumulative Total provides continuous measurement and cannot be manually reset. The Batch Total can be reset to measure flow during a single use. The Cumulative Total is labeled TOTAL 1, Batch Total is labeled TOTAL 2 BATCH.
When the Cumulative Total reaches a display reading of 999,999 the computer will highlight an X10 icon. This indicates to the operator that a zero must be added to the 6 digits shown. When the next rollover occurs, the computer will highlight an X100 icon. This indicates to the operator that two zeros must be added to the 6 digits shown.
CALIBRATION
Field Calibration Procedures (K-Factor Method)
If the display was purchased as an accessory or remote, then the field calibration method set at the factory is K-factor Entry method.
This method allows the user to key in a single point K-factor value that represents the meter it will be used with. K-factor values for specific meters can be found on the meter itself, in Table 1 or www.gpimeters.net.
1. To field calibrate, press and hold both CALIBRATE and DISPLAY buttons for about 3 seconds until you see FLdCAL. Release both buttons and you will see Kxxxx.x (where “x” represents the current field-cal k-factor value). You are now in the field calibration mode.
Page 10
2. The far left digit will be blinking. The DISPLAY button can then be pressed to select the digit location and the CALIBRATE button can be pressed to scroll the desired value at the blinking position. Edit the K-factor shown to the desired value. Acceptable K-factor range is 0000.1 to
9999.9.
3. After the new value has been entered, momentarily press and release both buttons. “CALEND” will be momentarily displayed. Unit is now ready for use.
4. Notice that the upper display line, the “FAC” icon and all the units of measure have disappeared.
Alternate units of measure are not selectable when the meter is operating with field calibration. This calibration is a unique single-point calibration for the meter and/or application.
NOTE: To return to factory calibration (FAC), press and hold both
CALIBRATE and DISPLAY buttons for about 3 seconds, until FAcCAL is displayed. Then release buttons. Unit should return to normal operation and FAC icon is visible.
NOTE: If the field calibration mode is entered and NO fluid is
dispensed, then upon leaving, the computer will use data from the last successful field calibration.

Field Calibration Procedures (Correction Factor Method)
If the display was purchased with a meter body then the field calibration method set at the factory is the Correction Factor method.
This method allows the user to tweak the factory calibration by a percent that represents application, fluid or plumbing differences.
1. To calibrate, press and hold the CALIBRATE and DISPLAY buttons for about 3 seconds until you see FLdCAL. Release both buttons and you will see CF-00.0. You are now in the field calibration mode and values from -99.9% to +99.9% can be entered.
2. The +/– position appears either as an “underscore” char­acter for plus, or as a “hyphen” character for minus. The DISPLAY button selects the position and the CALIBRATE button toggles this character.
3. The DISPLAY button can then be pushed to select the numeric positions. Press the CALIBRATE button to scroll from 0 to 9. Enter the percentage of change you want the display to correct. When satisfied with the value, press both CALIBRATE and DISPLAY buttons simultaneously. CALEnd will be displayed and unit will go back to normal operation, less the FAC (factory calibration) icon.
4. All enabled units-of-measure remain visible and select­able – the entered correction will be applied to all enabled units.
5. To return to factory calibration (FAC), press and hold both CALIBRATE and DISPLAY buttons for about 3 seconds until FAcCAL is displayed. Then release buttons. Unit should return to normal operation and FAC icon is visible.
Setting 4-20 mA Endpoints
The 4-20 mA endpoint settings are independent from the display calibration. If you reset the response time you MUST reset the 4-20 mA endpoints.
All units are shipped with the following items preset:
• 4 mA setpoint = 10 Hz
• 20 mA setpoint = 1000 Hz
• Response time = 0.7 seconds
Any new values you set for these items are automatically saved when the transmitter is powered down, and automati­cally restored the next time power is applied.
Procedure
Before you start, the fluid pumping system should be ready to make two simple calibrating runs, first at the lowest an­ticipated flowrate, and then the second at the highest antici­pated flowrate. Position yourself so you can easily operate the transmitter’s pushbuttons. You should be able to see the indicator light (the small window beside the “4” button).
10
Page 11
Setting the Low (4 mA) Endpoint:
To set 4 mA at zero flow, go to step 3. Otherwise follow steps 1, 2 and 3:
1. Start the fluid pumping system. Set it for steady flow at the lowest anticipated rate (or the rate at which you want a “minimum” indication).
2. Wait while the fluid flow is uninterrupted for at least 10 seconds.
3. While watching the transmitter’s indicating light, press and hold both its “SET” and “4” buttons. Release them when the light blinks.
NOTE: The length of time between “button press” and “light
blink” depends on the transmitter response time. The maximum is 5.2 seconds. If you can’t see the indicator light (if you’re outdoors in bright light), you can safely just count to 10 while holding the pushbuttons.
NOTE: After setting the minimum, the loop current should be
registering at or near 4 mA. Don’t worry if it’s not exact, it will be correct after setting the high (20 mA) endpoint.
Setting the High (20 mA) Endpoint
1. Start the fluid pumping system. Set it for steady flow at the highest anticipated rate (or the rate at which you want a “maximum” indication).
2. Wait while the fluid flow is uninterrupted for at least 10 seconds.
NOTE: If you observe the current loop after completing the
procedure, it should be registering at or very near 20 mA (within the resolution specifications for the present conditions).
3. While watching the transmitter’s indicating light, press and hold both its “SET” and “20” buttons. Release them when the light blinks.
NOTE: During the high and low setpoint procedure, if the new
settings are very different from the previous settings, it is possible to reverse the 4 mA and 20 mA setpoints so that the 4 mA frequency is higher than the 20 mA frequency. The situation corrects itself after you complete both setpoints. If the new settings are close to the previous settings, you may safely set either the low and high set­tings independently.
Lockout Feature
This transmitter includes a user selectable lockout feature. Select the feature after setting the 4 and 20 mA endpoints during initial use. The lockout feature prevents tampering with the 4 and 20 mA settings on the transmitter.
Before activating the lockout feature make sure there is no signal being received by the transmitter. If signal is being received, deactivate it by one of the following methods:
• Stop the flow through the line that is being recorded.
• Disconnect the output device on the flowmeter.
Locking / Unlocking the Transmitter
Position yourself so you can easily operate the pushbuttons on the transmitter. You should be able to see the indicator light.
To lock the transmitter, use the pushbuttons to enter the following sequence with a brief pause between each button press: 20 – 20 – 20 – SET. The indicator light will blink twice to indicate the unit is locked.
To unlock the transmitter, use the pushbuttons to enter the following sequence with a brief pause between each button press: 4 – 4 – 4 – SET. The indicator light will blink once to indicate the unit is unlocked.
Checking the Status of the Lockout Feature
To check the status of the transmitter, use the pushbuttons to enter the following sequence with a brief pause between each button press: SET – 4 – 20 – SET. The indicator light will blink once if unlocked or twice if locked.
Optional 0-20 mA Mode
A few current loop systems use 0-20 mA output. The input signal frequency of “0” produces an output analog signal of “0” with direct proportionality and no offset.
NOTE: A true loop current of “0” in a loop powered device
like the GPI transmitter is not obtainable. That’s because the current loop powers the transmitter, and its operat­ing current is non-zero even at zero frequency input. In 0-20 mode, the GPI Transmitter’s loop current will drop to as near zero as possible at zero input, in most units between 1 and 2 mA.
Procedure
1. To enter 0-20 mode, simply press and hold all three push­buttons simultaneously (4, SET, and 20) at any flowrate. Continue holding until the indicator light blinks (light will blink in up to 5 seconds) and release all buttons. This sets the LOW END calibration point to zero/zero.
2. Set the 20 mA endpoint as described above under 4-20 mA calibration.
3. The special 0-20 mode will remain in effect until a new
4 mA endpoint is established in the usual way.
Auxiliary 0-5 VDC
The 4-20 mA Out with Display is equipped with an auxiliary voltage output with a range of 0-5 VDC. This signal is capable of dropping to within a few milliVolts of zero, and thus may be more suitable for use in the 0-20 mode.
No special equipment is required to use the 0-5V output, but wiring to customer equipment is different (see Wiring Diagram 4).

Page 12
Changing Response Time
The 4-20 mA with Display comes from the factory with a default 0.7 seconds response time.
WARNING
If you reset the response time (procedure detailed be­low) you MUST then reset the 4-20 mA endpoints.
To give good performance with a variety of sensor types, many frequency-to-analog converters, including the GPI 4-20 mA Out with Display, offer two or more settings for “response time” (sometimes referred to as “settling time” or “averaging time”).
• Longer (slower) response times are needed for sensor types that generate very low frequency outputs (like GM Series oval gear flowmeters).
• Operating a meter at high flowrates may require a shorter (faster) response time to achieve the best transmitter performance.
• Shorter (faster) response times are preferable for sen­sors that generate higher frequency outputs (GPI turbine meters, for example).
• Longer (slower) response times are also appropriate in situations where sensor-output frequency fluctuates or wobbles substantially.
The GPI 4-20 mA Out with Display offers a choice of five re­sponse-time settings, selectable by the unit’s pushbuttons.
MAINTENANCE
Check cable-entry seals periodically. Tighten and/or apply sealant if needed. This is especially important in environ­ments containing heavy concentrations of dust, oil mist, or other residue.
Check all wiring connections occasionally for oxidation or corrosion. Clean and re-seat if such conditions are noted.
If necessary, check and re-seat any connections that may have been subjected to strain (during rework or construction, for example).
Procedure
1. Start with the unit unpowered. If the unit is presently
operating, temporarily disable its external power supply. Be sure to allow at least 30 seconds to elapse with unit unpowered.
2. Press and hold the “4” button. While holding, watch
the indicator light and power up the 4-20 mA Out with Display.
3. Shortly after power is applied, the light will blink one or
more times. Count the number of blinks (from 1 to 5 blinks) and release the button after the blinking has finished.
NOTE: If necessary, repeat steps 1 through 3 to get the
number of blinks corresponding to the response time you want.
Blinks Response Time
1 blink 0.3 second 2 blinks 0.7 second 3 blinks 1.3 second 4 blinks 2.6 second 5 blinks 5.2 second
In normal operation, the 4-20 mA Out with Display always av­erages two sequential input readings. The time delay from an abrupt change in input frequency to a final, stabilized output reading is always twice that shown in the above table.

* To power some low power pickup/display devices, such as a GPI
“EDM” module, a loop powered GX500 can supply 5 VDC at up to ap­proximately 2.5 mA without degrading conversion accuracy. However, “ac­tive” pickup devices or conditioners (i.e., Hall Effect or R-F) usually require more current. If such a device is used, or if you use the optically isolated inputs, you must provide an independent, isolated DC power supply to
operate the pickup circuitry.
