These operating instructions are included in the delivery. They are addressed
to the equipment manufacturer (OEM), and to the user with appropriate technical expertise.
In addition to installation and electrical connection, they contain information
on commissioning, operation and parameter setting on the instrument, as well
as on the optional PC setup programm and the optional PC evaluation program (PCA).
It provides information on the serial interfaces (RS232 and RS485), which can
be supplied as an extra. Using the interface description, it is possible to develop specific programs which can, for instance, read out current measurement
data.
1.2.1 Structure of these Operating Instructions
These operating instructions are arranged in a way which permits the user to
enter directly into the operation and configuration of the instrument. Consequently, chapters dealing with items that normally arise only once are placed

OutputsThe digital signals can be used to operate the three relays (extra code). It is
possible to configure the action as n.c. (break) or n.o. (make)
(Configuration ➔ Outputs).
External textsSo-called “external texts” can be arranged through four logic inputs. Either a
standard text or one of the 18 definable texts can be used. The instrument automatically supplements the texts in order to distinguish between the appearance and disappearance of the signal. The external texts are configured on the
instrument under Configuration ➔ Operating functions.
v Chapter 3.5 “Event list”
Event operationThe digital signals can be used to activate event operation. In event operation,
the measurements are stored at a storage rate which is different from that in
normal operation.
2.5Counters / Integrators / Timers
14
Counters, integrators and timers are available as extras from instrument software 133.03.xx.
These are not electrical measurement inputs (hardware), but channels which
are calculated by the recorder (software).

Each count change can be documented with an entry in the event list. The
new count is attached to the message.

WeightingYou can also enter a weighting for the integrators.
Weighting
example
- analog inputs 1— 3 (6)
- sec, min, hr and day
- flow measurement
- input signal from 0 — 20mA (corresponds to 0 — 1000 l/sec)
- time base 1sec
Minimum size
of input signal
- weighting 0.001
- display of the integration value (quantity) in m³
Entering a threshold value (amount of threshold value) has the effect that integration takes place only when the value has been exceeded. No integration
will occur on falling below the value. The advantage of integration with a
threshold value larger than 0 is that possible noise from a transducer can be
suppressed in this way.
Timers
The timer will count for as long as the selected logic input or one of the digital
signals is closed (set). The time can be displayed in sec, min, hr and days.
15
2 Instrument description
2.5.1 Reporting periods of counts
After an adjustable time period (reporting period) the counts are stored for all
counters/integrators/timers. The counts of the most recently concluded reporting period can be graphically displayed. The following counter/integrator
types are possible:
-periodic
The time period (between 1 min and 12 hrs) must additionally be selected in
the parameter Period.
-external
The counter/integrator is updated here only when the selected operating
signal is active (e.g. logic input is closed). When the operating signal is deactivated (e.g. logic input is open), the counter/integrator value is stored
and reset to 0.
- daily
-weekly
-monthly
-yearly
-total
- daily from-to
In addition, the period has to be selected, by means of the parameters
“Daily start time” and “Daily end time”. The counter/integrator will then be
updated from the start time only. When the end time has been reached, the
counter/integrator value is stored and reset to 0.
2.5.2 Resetting the counters / integrators / timers
Periodic resetThere is a reporting period for each counter/integrator/timer. At the end of this
period, the current data (value and time) are stored and the value is reset to 0.
Subsequently, the next period can be recorded.
An exception is the totalizer/integrator value. It is stored whenever any count/
integration has been completed, but it is not reset to 0. This enables the totalizer to be evaluated also in the PCA evaluation software.
External resetYou can configure an operating signal for all 6 channels together, with the re-
sult that the counters/integrators are reset to 0 without storing the previous
values. The period for the counter/integrator summation will be restarted at
this point. This means that after the test run of an installation, for instance, the
recording can be freshly started, thereby eliminating the test run values, which
are not required.
Reset from
keys
16
v See “Reset generation” on page 59.
Another option of resetting the counter/integrator values is provided at the parameter level. After entering the password, you can define a value for each of
the 6 channels. The counter/integrator will then be set to this value. When, after editing, a value is accepted, a message with the new and the old count is
entered in the event list.
2 Instrument description
The time period for the counter/integrator summation will not be freshly started. The previous counter/integrator values will also not be saved.
If you wish to save the previous counter/integrator values, you have to
execute the function “Update diskette incl. counters” in the Disk manager
menu before resetting.
➔
Counter/Int.reset.
Reset via
the “Disk
manager” menu
H
In this way, you can restart the recording of individual counters/integrators, for
example, after the test run of an installation; the values of the test run, which
are not required, can thus be eliminated.
You can select a password other than that for accessing the configuration. The
password can be set under Configuration
No.(Password)
If the function Update diskette incl. counters is executed in the “Disk manager”
menu, the counts will also be stored and reset.
v See “Disk manager” on page 38.
2.5.3 Behavior on instrument reconfiguration
When the instrument is reconfigured, the current counter/integrator reporting
periods remain unaffected. The counter/integrator values will not be reset to 0
and the reporting period will not be restarted.

2 Instrument description
2.6Math / logic module
The math and logic module is available as an extra from instrument software
133.03.xx. As is the case with the counters/integrators/timers, the math and
logic module, too, are channels that are not available in hardware, but are calculated through the instrument software.
The math and logic module consists of 2 parts:
- the math module for calculating analog values and
- the logic module for calculating boolean values (0 or 1).
Math moduleUsing the math module, measurement inputs can be used to calculate new
“virtual” channels.
There are no separate math channels for the calculated channels, the existing
analog channels 1 — 3 (6) are used instead. In configuration, you have to select the Mathematics option under the parameter “Sensor” for the required
channel.
Configuration ➔ Analog input x ➔ Sensor = Mathematics
Each of the 6 channels can either be used for recording the corresponding
channel, or as a math channel. With a 3-channel instrument, three additional
“virtual” channels can thus be created.
When the measurement inputs AE1 and AE2 are mathematically linked, the measurement inputs AE3 — AE5 in
the example above are not available as sensor inputs.
18
2 Instrument description
The channel number of a math channel indicates which
analog input is being used by the math channel.
The following variables are used for the formulae:
- analog inputs (AE1 — AE6)
- counter/integrator channels (ZI1 — ZI6)
- logic inputs (BE1 — BE4)
-alarms
-errors
- Modbus-Flag (signal via serial interface)
- instrument-specific data (only after consultation with the manufacturer)
If counter/integrator values are used for calculation, please note the reduction
in accuracy, since, in this case, two different data formats have to be used for
calculation. The counters/integrators are calculated in the double-float format,
whereas the math module employs the single-float format to the IEEE 754
standard. Nevertheless, these values can still be integrated into the math
module.
Available as fixed functions are:
-difference
-ratio
-humidity
- moving average
For the moving average, it is necessary to enter the reference channel (in most
cases, the analog input no.) and the time (in minutes), which are used for calculating the moving average.
The following operators and functions are available for the formulae:
+, -, *, /, (, ), SQRT(), MIN(), MAX(), SIN(), COS(), TAN(), **, EXP(),
ABS(), INT(), FRC(), LOG(), LN().
On going above or falling below the scaleable values, the math channel is
treated as for “out-of-range".
The formulae are entered in the PC, in the setup program. The mathematical
formulae cannot be edited on the instrument by using the keys.
H
Additional information can be found in
Chapter 5.4 “Math and logic module”
19
2 Instrument description
Logic moduleThere is also a maximum of 6 logic channels.
As is the case with all the other digital signals, the calculated digital (boolean)
values can be used for different functions:
- recording in the event traces,
- as an operating signal for display switch-off,
- time synchronization,
-timer,
- externally operated counters / integrators,
- counter/integr. reset,
- event operation and key inhibit,
- for output to a relay and
- as count input for a counter.
The following variables are available for the formulae:
- logic inputs
- logic channels
-alarms
-errors
- Modbus-Flag (signal via serial interface)
-TRUE
-FALSE
- instrument-specific data (only after consultation with the manufacturer)
The functions below can be used for the formulae:
-!(NOT)
-&(AND)
-|(OR)
-^(XOR)
- /(rising edge)
- \ (falling edge)
-( (open bracket)
-) (close bracket)

The data are recorded encoded in a proprietary format.
The recording duration depends on various factors:
- number of analog channels and event traces being recorded
Optimization

duration
- storage rate
- number of events in the event list
H
The recording duration can be optimized by process-oriented selection of the
storage rate.
In normal operation (no fault, no alarm, ...), a storage interval as long as possible (e.g. 60sec, 180sec, …) should be selected, depending on the specific application.
In the event of an alarm or a fault, the storage rate can be shortened via event
operation, which ensures that the measurement data are recorded with a high
time resolution.
The setup program calculates the recording duration for the current configuration.

evaluation program and stored in an archive database. The entire manage-
ment is performed automatically. Only an identifier (supplementary descrip-
tion) has to be manually provided by the user.
- The user has at any time access to certain data sets, which can be distin-
guished by the identifier. In addition, it is possible to restrict the periods of
time to be evaluated.
- Any analog and digital channels of the paperless recorder can subsequent-
ly be combined in PCA to PCA groups.
- Operation via mouse or from the keys
- By means of the export filter it is possible to export the stored data (CSV
format) for processing in different programs (Excel, …)
- Using the additional program “Communication server”, the data can be
read out of the recorder via the serial interface (RS232/RS485). They can
be read out manually or automatically (e.g. daily at 23 hrs).
It is recommended to use a baud rate of 38400 bps when transferring data.
On the recorder, the baud rate is set via the parameter Configuration
terface
r
Baud rate.

In-
- The PCA evaluation program supports the network capability, which means
that several users can obtain data from the same database, independently
of each other.
- Data diskettes can be read out and stored in the database via the rapid
start function of the evaluation program. After archiving, the evaluation soft-
ware will be automatically terminated.

9.1Installation notes
kThe choice of the cable, the installation and the electrical connection
must conform to the requirements of VDE 0100 “Regulations on the Installation of Power Circuits with nominal voltages below 1000V”, or the
appropriate local regulations.
kWork inside the instrument must only be carried out to the extent descri-
bed and, like the electrical connection, only by qualified personnel.
kIf contact with live parts is possible while working on the instrument, it
must be isolated from the supply on both poles.
kThe electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) conforms to the standards and
regulations listed under Technical Data.
v Data Sheet T 95.5015
kRun the input, output and supply cables separately, not parallel to one
another.
kAll input and output cables that are not connected to the mains supply
must be arranged as twisted and screened cables. Ground the screen at
one end on the instrument.
9 Electrical connection
kEarth the instrument at terminal PE to the earth conductor. This cable
must have the same cross-section as the supply cable. Earthing cables
must be run in a star configuration, to a common earthing point which is
connected to the earth conductor of the supply. Do not loop the earthing
cables, i.e. do not run them from one instrument to another.
kDo not connect any additional loads to the supply terminals of the instru-
ment.
kThe instrument is not suitable for installation in hazardous (Ex) areas.
kInductive loads close to the instrument, such as contactors or solenoid
valves, should have RC modules fitted for interference suppression.
