WARNING!

This instrument contains electronic components that are susceptible to damage by static
electricity. Proper handling* procedures must be observed during the removal, installation, or
handling of internal circuit boards or devices.

*Handling Procedure

1. Power to unit must be removed.

2. Personnel must be grounded, via wrist strap or other safe, suitable means, before any
printed circuit board or other internal device is installed, removed or adjusted.

3. Printed circuit boards must be transported in a conductive bag or other conductive container.
Boards must not be removed from protective enclosure until the immediate time of installation.
Removed boards must be placed immediately in protective container for transport, storage, or
return to factory.

Comments
This instrument is not unique in its content of ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive

components. Most modern electronic designs contain components that utilize metal oxide
technology (NMOS, CMOS, etc.). Experience has proven that even small amounts of static
electricity can damage or destroy these devices. Damaged components, even though they
appear to function properly, may exhibit early failure.

DESCRIPTION & SPECIFICATIONS

Description:

Featuring 6 digits of bright, 7-segment LED displays,
this unit is an integrating totalizer/ratemeter which ac­cepts analog signal inputs. The unit can be field
programmed to accept 0-20mA, 4-20mA, 0-5V, 0­10V or 1-5V signals. An optional Square Law input is
available for inputs that require square root extrac­tion. A 4-20mA output option is available to control
strip recorders or other peripherals. Two assignable
set points are standard for two stage shut off. The
high and low scaling settings are programmable from
the front panel. By pressing the "view" button, the
unit will display: integrated total, rate, peak or valley.
RS-422 or RS-232 serial communications are avail­able options for data communication with a host com­puter.

Specifications:
Display: 6 digit, .55" high, LED.
Input Power: 110, 220 VAC ± 15% or 12 to 24VDC.

Current: maximum 300 mA DC or 10.0 VA at rated
AC voltage.
Output Power: (AC powered units only) + 24VDC.
@ 50 mA regulated ±5%

Temperature:

Operating: +41°F (5°C) to +130°F (+54°C).
Storage: -40°F (-40°C) to +200°F (93°C).
Memory: EEPROM stores data for ten years if power
is lost.
Reset:
Front Panel: resets displayed values and control out­puts.
Remote: 4-30 VDC positive edge, resets totalizer and
control outputs.
Control Outputs:
Standard: Open collector sinks 250 mA from 30VDC
when active.
Optional: 2 each Form C SPDT 10Amp @ 120/240
VAC or 28 VDC. (Open collector outputs are also
supplied with 10VDC provided at transistor outputs
through relay coil. If greater than 2mA is used, relay
will remain energized. Applying greater than 10 VDC
may destroy unit. Transistor will sink 100mA in "ON"
state.)

Input:

Standard: Linear 0-20mA, 4-20mA, 0-5V, 0-10V or 1­5V selectable from the front panel.
Optional: Square Law 0-20mA, 4-20mA, 0-5V, 0-10V,
or 1-5V, is available for inputs that require square root
extraction.

Input Impedance: Current: 100Ω; Voltage: 115KΩ
Calibration: The unit does all of the calibrations inter-

nally. There are no potentiometers to adjust and the unit
never needs to be removed from the case.

Set Points: The two control set points can be set at any
number from 0 to 59999. The set point outputs can be
assigned to rate or total. The unit comes standard with
two open collector control outputs. Two 5 Amp, Form C
relays are optional. The outputs are programmable
from .01 to 599.99 sec or latched until reset when
assigned to the total and a hysteresis (alarm range)
when assigned to the rate.
Rate Display: Updates 5 times per second, Accurate to

4.5 digits. Set "low" greater than "high" for inverted
display (LINEAR ONLY).
Totalizer: Integrates from the rate reading and accu­mulates up to 6 digits of total count. The time base
(hours, minutes or seconds) is field programmable from
the front panel.
Analog Out: The unit can be ordered with an optional
4-20mA output which is proportional to the rate display.
The high and low settings are programmable from the
front panel. Set "low" greater than "high" for inverted
output. A sinking driver generates a corresponding
linear current through the external devices. The output
updates with each update of the rate. Accuracy is 50uA
worst case. For rated accuracy, load must be con­nected to the analog output before unit is powered.
Compliance voltage must be 3 to 30 VDC non inductive.
(The unit can provide the DC source as long as the drop
across the devices being driven does not exceed 21V).
Programming: Decimal points, Scaling from 0 to
59999 units per selected time base, set points, input
type, security lock code, and assigning outputs are all
programmable from the front panel.
Housing: Standard 1/8 DIN, high impact 94VO plastic
case.

HOW TO MOUNT:

MOUNTING

Slide the body of the unit through the rubber
gasket. Insert the unit into the panel. Slide the
brackets up the groove to press against the
back of the panel, as shown in "FIG. A". Insert
the screws into the rear of the brackets.

FIG. A

(99.7)

Tighten the screws evenly and alternately. A
panel less than .1" may distort if the clamps are
screwed too tightly. Do not over tighten! A
normal level of torque is required. Maximum
torque should be 3" pounds.
The panel must be parallel to the bezel to
assure proper seal. Unit seals to NEMA 4/
IP65 if properly mounted.

WIRING

AC / DC CONNECTIONS:
NOTE: Connect power only after other connec­tions are finished. Do not touch the live AC power
terminals. The unit has been designed with an
isolated AC input, therefore polarity is not a con­cern for the AC power. The chassis is plastic,
therefore earth ground is not used. For DC opera­tion, connect +DC to terminal 10 and -DC to
terminal 3.

This Product complies with requirements of the
European Community Directive 89/336/EEC [Elec­tromagnetic Compatibility]. However, electrical
noise or intense electromagnetic fields in the vicin­ity of the unit may disturb the microprocessor.
Users should exercise care and should take proper
precautions to avoid microprocessor disturbance.

Four common sources of noise are:

1) AC power line noise- The input power lines
should not be common to power lines for motors,
pumps, contactors, etc. If the unit cannot be con­nected to an electrically clean power source, an
inductive load suppressing device (MOV as
GE#V130LA1 or Resistor Capacitor as Paktron#
.2uf/220 ohm @ 400V) can be installed. Although
locating the suppressor across the AC supply at
the unit should help, best results are obtained by
connecting the suppressor across the leads of the
"load" at the device causing the spikes.

2) Input line noise- The noise is carried on the input
and DC ground lines. Make sure the input wires
are not run into the unit in a bundle with power input
lines. We recommend using shielded cable. Con­nect the shield to DC ground of the unit and "earth"
at one point in the circuit preferably at the DC
ground terminal of the unit.

3) Output lines- The unit has two open collector
outputs and two optional relay outputs. When
these outputs are used to run external relays or
solenoids, spikes can be generated upon activa­tion. This noise can spread through the instrument
causing operating problems. If the source is a D.C.
operated device, a general purpose diode (IN4004)
placed across the solenoid prevents electrical
noise spikes. Connect the cathode (banded side)
to the more positive side of the coil. If the source
is an A.C. operated device, use a Resistor Capaci­tor or MOV across the coil.

4) 24 VDC output supply- Noise can be generated
on the 24 VDC output supply if it is used to drive
inductive loads or if the current draw exceeds
50mA. Insure that all inductive loads have a diode
(such as IN4004) across the coil and that the
current does not exceed 50mA.
