INTRODUCTION
The KOBOLD Model MPT is a multipurpose, easy-to-use digital panel meter. It accepts current, voltage, thermocouple, and RTD signals. The four front panel buttons make the setup and programming an easy task.
The isolated 24 VDC transmitter power (optional) can be used to power the input transmitter, the 4-20 mA output, or other devices.
The two relays (optional) can be used for alarm indication or process control applications, such as pump alternation control.
Two relays and a 4-20 mA output are available together in the same meter. The 4-20 mA isolated output and Modbus
options make the MPT an excellent addition to any system.

INSTALLATION
There is no need to remove the meter from its case to com­plete the installation, wiring, and setup of the meter.
Unpacking
Remove the meter from box. Inspect the packaging and con­tents for damage. Report damages, if any, to the carrier.
If any part is missing or the meter malfunctions, please contact your supplier or the factory for assistance.
Panel Mounting
Prepare a standard 1/8 DIN panel cutout – 3.622" x 1.772" (92 mm x 45 mm). Refer to MOUNTING DIMENSIONS, page 64 for more details.
Clearance: allow at least 4" (102 mm) behind the panel for wiring.
Panel thickness: 0.04" - 0.25" (1.0 mm - 6.4 mm).
Recommended minimum panel thickness to maintain Type 4X rating: 0.06" (1.5 mm) steel panel, 0.16" (4.1 mm) plastic panel.
Remove the two mounting brackets provided with the meter (back-off the two screws so that there is ¼" (6.4 mm) or less through the bracket. Slide the bracket toward the front of the case and remove).
Insert meter into the panel cutout.
Install mounting brackets and tighten the screws against the panel.
To achieve a proper seal, tighten the mounting bracket screws evenly until meter is snug to the panel along its short side. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, as the rear of the panel may be damaged.

Connections
All connections are made to removable screw terminal connectors located at the rear of the meter.
Use copper wire with 60°C or 60/75°C insulation for all line voltage connections. Observe all safety regulations. Electrical wiring should be performed in accordance with all applicable national, state, and local codes to prevent damage to the meter and ensure personnel safety.
Connector Labeling
The connectors label, affixed to the meter, shows the location of all con­nectors available with requested configuration. It also identifies the loca­tion of the RTD/TC selector switch. The below two images are common connector configurations for the MPT. Note that the connector in the up­per left of the diagram has two different configurations based on the model.

Switching Inductive Loads
The use of suppressors (snubbers) is strongly recommended when switching in­ductive loads to prevent disrupting the microprocessor’s operation. The suppres­sors also prolong the life of the relay contacts. Suppression can be obtained with resistor-capacitor (RC) networks assembled by the user or purchased as com­plete assemblies. Refer to the following circuits for RC network assembly and in­stallation:

SETUP AND PROGRAMMING
Programming from a PC with MeterView®
KOBOLD’s free MeterView® software allows all MPT setup parameters to be programmed from a PC (requires PDC protocol selection) and to save the configuration settings to a file for reporting or programming other meters. And since the serial adapter is an external device, one serial adapter can program an infinite number of meters!
The MeterView screen shot above shows how the input is selected. Notice there are tabs for Scaling, Relays/Alarms, Advanced, and Fac­tory Values.

Programming the Meter (prog)
It is very important to read the following information, before proceeding to program the meter:
There is no need to recalibrate the meter when first received from the factory.
The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment, for all input types, in milliamps, volts, and degrees respectively. The calibration equipment is certified to NIST standards.
Use the Scale menu to scale process inputs (e.g. 4-20 mA). A cali- brated signal source is not needed to scale the meter.
For thermocouple and RTDs, just connect the sensor to the proper terminals and turn the power on. No calibration needed! (when the meter is first received from the factory).
The Program menu contains the Calibrate and the Scale menus. Process inputs may be calibrated or scaled to any display within the
range of the meter.

Additional parameters, not needed for most applications, are pro­grammed with the Advanced Features menu, see Advanced Features Menu, page 50.

Error Message (Err)
An error message indicates that the calibration or scaling process was not successful.
After the error message is displayed, the meter reverts to input 1, allow­ing the appropriate input signals to be applied.
The error message might be caused by any of the following conditions:
1. Input signal is not connected to the proper terminals or it is con­nected backwards.
2. Wrong signal selection in Setup menu.
3. Minimum input span requirements not maintained.
4. Input 1 signal inadvertently applied to calibrate input 2.
Minimum Input Span
The minimum input span is the minimum difference between input 1 and in­put 2 signals required to complete the calibration or scaling of the meter.

Calibrating the Meter (Cal)
To scale the meter without a signal
source, refer to Scaling the Meter

Recommended Calibration Points
To recalibrate the meter, it is recommended to use the Fahrenheit scale; this will give a greater degree of accuracy to the calibration. The scale can be changed to the Celsius scale after calibration is completed. The meter will display temperature accurately in any scale.

Offset Adjustment (Adj)
This parameter allows the user to select an offset adjustment to the temperature being displayed. Offset adjustment values can be either positive or negative and can be any number within adjustment value is programmed through the
The offset adjustment feature can be useful to compensate for errors due to thermocouple junctions or excessive lead wire resistance in RTDs.
The offset adjustment value is automatically reset to zero whenever the type of temperature sensor is changed ( curve).
Celsius/Fahrenheit conversion of the offset adjustment value is auto­matic, see note 2 below for important limitations.
Notes:
1. Offset adjustment is available only when TC or RTD input is se­lected.
2. If adjustment value is greater than 11 scale is ch ment will be 19.9
Noise Filter (fltr)
Most applications do not require changing this parameter. It is intended to help attain a steady display with an unsteady (noisy) input signal.
The field selectable noise filter averages any minor or quick changes in the input signal and displays the reading with greater stability.
Increasing the filter value will help stabilize the display, however this will reduce the display response to changes on the input signal.
The filter level may be set anywhere from 2 to 199. Setting filter value to zero disables filter function, and bypass setting be-

Noise Filter Bypass (byps)
The meter can be programmed to filter small input changes, but allow larger input changes to be displayed immediately, by setting the bypass value accordingly.
If the input signal goes beyond the bypass value, it will be displayed im­mediately with no averaging done on it.
The noise filter bypass value may be set anywhere from 0.2 to 99.9. It corresponds to percentage of full scale for process inputs and to de­grees Fahrenheit for temperature inputs.
Increasing the bypass value may slow down the display response to changes on the input signal.
Serial Communications (serl)
The meter is equipped with serial communications capability as a stand­ard feature using PDC Serial Communication Protocol. The Modbus RTU protocol is included on all models after 5/1/2010. To communicate with a computer or other data terminal equipment, an RS-232 or RS-485 adapter option is required; see tails.

Serl Prot
When using more than one meter in a multi-drop mode, each meter must be provided with its own unique address. The address may be pro­grammed from 00 to 99 for PDC protocol and from 1 to 247 for Modb us protocol. The transmit delay may be set between 0 and 199 ms (see Se­rial Communication Adapter manual for more details).
The MPT can also be connected directly to another MPT meter through a cable assembly (PDA7420). This allows the user to copy all the set­tings from one meter to another, using the

Select Menu (SElc)
The Select menu is used to select linear or square root function, display intensity, and low-flow cutoff. Selection for relay or analog output is a factory setting depending on the option installed.
Output options are installed
and set

Changing the output selec-
tion will cause erroneous op­eration.
Note:
Depending on meter model, the Select menu will display either out or Aout. In either case, the output selection menu is for factory use only. Do not attempt to change output selection.
Linear or Square Root Function (linr or Sqrt)
Meters are set up at the factory for linear function. The linear function provides a display that is linear with respect to the input signal.
The square root function is used to linearize the signal from a differential pressure transmitter and display flow rate in engineering units.

Low-Flow Cutoff (cutF)
The low-flow cutoff feature allows the meter to be programmed so that the often-unsteady output from a differential pressure transmitter, at low flow rates, always displays zero on the meter.
The cutoff value may be programmed from 0 to 9999. Below the cutoff value, the meter will display zero. Programming the cutoff value to zero disables the cutoff.
