3.2 Principle of operation
Product description
Area of application
Physical principle
Power supply
SU 600 is a universal single signal conditioning
instrument with integrated level switches and display for
continuously measuring sensors. At the same time, it
can serve as power supply unit for connected sensors.
SU 600 is designed for connection of an individual
4 … 20 mA sensor. The instrument is suitable for carrier
rail, panel and surface mounting.
SU 600 signal conditioning instrument can power the
connected sensor and also evaluate its measurement
signals. The requested parameter is indicated in the
display and, in addition, outputted to the integrated
current output for further processing. Hence the measuring signal can be transmitted to a remote display or a
connected control system. In addition, two level relays
for control of pumps or other actuators are integrated.
Wide-range power supply unit with 20 … 253 VAC/DC
for world-wide use.
You will find detailed information on the power supply in
the "Technical data" in the "Supplement".
3.3 Adjustment
The adjustment of SU 600 is carried out via the
integrated keys and a 16-step function switch.
3.4 Storage and transport

l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
l If overvoltages are expected, overvoltage arresters
should be installed.
In hazardous areas you should take note of the
appropriate regulations, conformity and type approval
certificates of the sensors and power supply units.
The power supply can be 20 … 253 VAC, 50/60 Hzor
20 … 253 VDC.
Power supply of SU 600 is connected with standard
cable acc. to the national installation standards.
Standard two-wire cable without screening can be used
to connect sensors. If electromagnetic interference is
expected, screened cable must be used.
Connect the cable screen on both ends to ground
potential. In the sensor, the screen must be connected
directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground
terminal outside on the sensor housing must be
connected to the potential equalisation.
If potential equalisation currents are expected, the
screen connection on SU 600 must be made via a
ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low
frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the protective effect against high frequency
interference signals remains.
Select connection
cable for Ex applications
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations
for Ex applications. In particular, make sure that no
potential equalisation currents flow over the cable
screen. In case of grounding on both sides this can be
achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate
potential equalisation.

Information:
In the menu, it is possible to switch over between active
and passive operation of the measurement data input:
l In active mode,SU 600 provides the power for the
connected sensors. Power supply and measurement
data are transmitted over the same two-wire cable.
This mode is provided for connection of transmitters
without separate power supply (sensors in two-wire
version).

l In passive mode, the sensors are not powered - only
the measured value is transmitted. This input is for
transmitters with their own separate power supply
(sensors in four-wire version). Furthermore,SU 600
can be connected to an existing circuit like a
standard current meter.

l [+/-] key:
- Change value of the parameter
By pushing the [+/-] key, you change the individual
parameters of the selected function. In this phase, the
processed parameter is flashing. Bybriefly pushing the
two keys simultaneously, you save your settings. "Save"
is briefly displayed.
6.2 Setup procedure
Setup encompasses mainly the adjustment of the
measurement loop. A scaling of the measured value for
the LC display and the adaptation of the relay switching
points are additional settings. Additional setup steps
might be, if necessary, setting an integration time to
smooth the measured value or modifying the current
output characteristics.
To clearly denote the measuring unit, the supplied labels
can be inserted in the cover. In case several SU 600 are
used, each measurement loop should be clearly
labelled.
Switch on phase
After being switched on, SU 600 first of all carries out a
short self-check. The following steps are carried out:
l Internal check of the electronics
l indication of the firmware version
l the output signal jumps briefly to the set fault current
Then the actual measured value is displayed and the
corresponding current is transmitted to the current
output.

l C: Max. adjustment in % by modifying the level
l D: Min. adjustment in mA without modifying the level
l E: Max. adjustment in mA without modifying the level
l F: Changeover current input active/passive
l In active mode, SU 600 provides the power supply
for the connected sensor. Power supply and measured value transmission are carried on the same
two-wire cable. This mode is provided for connection
of transmitters without separate power supply (sensors in two-wire version).
l In passive mode, no sensors are powered, only the
measured value is transmitted. This mode is for
connection of transmitters with own, separate power
supply (sensor in four-wire version).
à Set the function switch to position [F] and select the
suitable mode with the [+/-] keys. Save your settings
by pushing both keys simultaneously.
Offset correction
When a pressure transmitter is used, an offset correction should be carried out first. These instruments are
factory-set in a certain position. If the pressure transmitter is now mounted in a different position, its
20SU 600 - 4 … 20 mA signal conditioning
30652-EN-050525
Page 21
Setup with the integrated indicating and adjustment unit
measuring range is shifted slightly. The zero point is
readjusted by carrying out the offset correction in
uncovered (unpressurised) condition. The complete
measuring range will be shifted by the deviating amount.
à Make sure that the pressure transmitter is completely
unpressurised, uncovered (unimmersed) and mounted in its final position.
à Set the function switch to position [ A ]. The display
indicates now the actual sensor current in mA. Save
the current status by pushing the [ +/- ] keys
simultaneously.
Adjustment in mA without
changing the level
Adjustment in % by changing the level
For this adjustment procedure, two sensor current
values (4 … 20 mA) must be entered corresponding to
the levels 0 % and 100 %.
When using a pressure transmitter, an offset correction
should be carried out to reach maximum accuracy.
Carry out this offset correction before adjustment and
with the sensor uncovered (unimmersed).
à Select now position [D] or [E] on the function switch,
enter the current values in mA for min. or max.
adjustment and save your settings.
During this adjustment procedure, the current level is
assigned to a certain percentage value. For this reason,
percentage values that correspond to the actual filling
levels must be entered for the min. and max. adjustment. The ideal calibration is at 0 % and 100 %.Because it is not always possible to empty or fill a vessel
completely, any value can of course be entered. The
greater the difference between the two adjustment
points, the more precise the measurement. It does not
matter which value is entered first.
à Select position [B] or [C] on the function switch, enter
the percentage values for the min. and max.
adjustment and save your settings.
Relay outputs
Two operating relays are integrated inSU 600 for level
detection. First of all, determine at which switching
points the relays should switch on and off again.
30652-EN-050525
SU 600 - 4 … 20 mA signal conditioning21
Page 22
Setup with the integrated indicating and adjustment unit
Furthermore you have to distinguish between the relay
modes overfill and dry run protection. You switch over by
exchanging the ON/OFF values of the relay.
l Overfill protection: Relay is switched off when the
max. level is exceeded (safe currentless condition),
relay is switched on again when the level falls below
the min. level (switch on point < switch off point).
l Dry run protection: Relay is switched off when the
level falls below the min. level (safe currentless
condition), relay is switched on again when the max.
level is exceeded (switch on point > switch off point).
à To adjust the on and off switching points of relay 1,
set the function switch to position [1] or [2], enter the
switching points for ON or OFF and save your
settings. If necessary, proceed in the same way with
relay 2 (position [3] or [4]).
Setup with the integrated indicating and adjustment unit
Scaling
Damping
Scaling is the conversion of the measured value into a
certain parameter or measuring unit. Instead of the
percentage value, the volume can be displayed, e.g. in l.
Indicating values between max.-9999 and +9999 are
possible.
à First of all, determine the max. indicating range and
the number of decimal places after the decimal point
-- max. four decimal places can be displayed. Select
position [ 5 ] of the function switch, place the decimal
point in the required position and save your settings.
à Now select position [6] or [7] on the function switch,
enter the requested values for 100 % or 0 % and
save your settings.
To suppress fluctuation in the measured value display,
e.g. caused by an agitated product surface, an integration time can be set. This time can be between 0 and
250 seconds. Keep in mind that this setting will increase
the reaction time of the measurement, and that the
reaction to quick changes of the measured value will be
delayed. In general, a time of a few seconds is sufficient
to smooth the measured value display.
à Now select position [9] on the function switch, enter
the requested value and save your settings.
Currentoutput0/4 …20 mA
The characteristics of the current output can be
switched over from 4 … 20 mA to 0 … 20 mA.
à Now select position [8] on the function switch, adjust
the requested characteristics curve and save your
settings.
Simulation
30652-EN-050525
SU 600 - 4 … 20 mA signal conditioning23
To check if the settings ofSU 600 are correct, the
simulation mode can be used. Any individual measured
value can be simulated and e.g. the correct behaviour of
the relays and the connected instruments can be
checked.
Switching over between the functions "OPERATE" and
"Simulation" is done by pushing the [+/-] keys for at least
3 seconds.In the simulation mode, the set value flashes
on the display. The simulation can be switched off by
Page 24
Setup with the integrated indicating and adjustment unit
pushing both keys again for approx. 3 seconds. If no key
is pushed, the display switches automatically over to
"OPERATE" after approx. 60 minutes and the simulation
is terminated.
à To start simulation, push the [ +/- ] keys simultan-
eously until the displayed value starts flashing
(approx. 3 seconds). By pushing either o f the [ +/- ]
keys, you can set the requested simulation value and
make your check.
Reset
With a reset, all values set by the user will be lost and
are reset to factory settings.
à Interrupt the power supply of SU 600. Push the [+/-]
keys simultaneously and hold them while you switch
on the power supply. The display shows "RES" and
the default settings will be restored. These are the
following:
l Relay switch on points: 10 %
l Relay switch off points: 100 %
l Decimal point: 888.8
l Display min: 0
l Display max: 100.0
l Integration time: 0 s
l Offset correction: 0
l Current output: 4 … 20 mA
l Min. adjustment: 0 % or 4 mA
l Max. adjustment: 100 % or 20 mA
6.3 Application example
l An upright cylindrical (linear) tank has a volume of
2700 l
l The max. filling volume is 2650 l, the min. filling
volume 50 l
l The level sensor in the vessel is a pressure
transmitter (passive), outputting a standardised
4 … 20 mA signal
l For further processing, an additional 4 … 20 mA
output signal is required

Decimal point
Relay
Because the range of the example vessel is between 50 l
to 2650 l, you will need all four positions of the digital
indication.
1 Set the function switch to position [5](Decimal Point).
2 By pushing the [+/-] keys, you move the decimal
point.
3 Save the value by pushing both keys simultaneously.
l Set the function switch to position [ 1 ](relay 1 on).
For the given example, select the value 90.0 (90.0 %)
with the [ +/- ] keys. The internal relay 1 then switches
on when this value is reached. Save the value by
pushing the two keys simultaneously.
l Set the function switch to position [ 2](relay 1 off).
Select the value 10.0 (10.0 %) with the [ +/-] keys.
The internal relay 1 then switches off when the value
falls below this value. The respective relay control
lamp lights when the relay is energized. If the
switching points are too close together (<0.1 %), the
appropriate LED flashes. The relay takes on the safe
condition. Inmode"OPERATE " an error message is
outputted on the display.
l If you want to control additional relays, proceed in the
same way, as with relay 1. The switch positions for
setting the respective relays are stated in the list of
the function switch under "Setup procedure".
Note:
If you want to change the mode (i.e. the switching
function of the relays), you have to exchange the Onand
Off values.
