Warranty,
4.2. ASSEMBLY
Disconnect the power supply prior to starting assembly.
Check the connections are wired correctly prior to switching the unit on.
To install device on the wall, a
pinholes should be made. Figure
4.1 presents dimensions of the
device and distances between
holes. The back side of the device
has four mounting holes. This part
of the case should be mounted to a
wall by screws.
Due to possible significant interference in industrial installations appropriate measures
assuring correct operation of the unit must be applied. To avoid the unit of
Installation should be conducted by qualified personnel . During installation all available
safety requirements should be considered. The fitter is responsible for executing the
installation according to this manual, local safety and Federal regulations.
The unit is not equipped with an internal fuse or power supply circuit breaker.
Because of this an external time-delay cut-out fuse with a small nominal current value
must be used (recommended bipolar, max. 2A) and a power supply circuitbreaker located
near the unit. In the case of using a monopolar fuse it must be mounted on the phase
cable (L).
The power supply network cable diameter must be selected in such a way that in the case
of a short circuit of the cable from the side of the unit the cable shall be protected against
destruction with an electrical installation fuse.
Wiring must meet appropriate standards and local regulations and laws.
In order to secure against accidental short circuit the connection cables must be
terminated with appropriate insulated cable tips.
Tighten the clamping screws. The recommended tightening torque is 0.5 Nm.Loose
screws can cause fire or defective operation. Over tightening can lead to damaging the
connections inside the units and breaking the thread.
In the case of the unit being fitted with separable clamps they should be inserted into
appropriate connectors in the unit, even if they are not used for any connections.
Unused terminals (marked as n.c.) must not be used for connecting any connecting cables
(e.g. as bridges), because this can cause damage to the equipment or electric shock.
If the unit is equipped with housing, covers and sealing to, protecting against water
intrusion, pay special attention to their correct tightening or clamping. In the case of any
doubt consider using additional preventive measures (covers, roofing, seals, etc.).
Carelessly executed assembly can increase the risk of electric shock
After the installation is completed do not touch the unit's connections when it is switched
on, because it carries the risk of electrical shock.
Due to possible significant interference in industrial installations appropriate
measures assuring correct operation of the unit must be applied. To avoid the unit of
improper indications keep recommendations listed below.
Avoid running signal cables and transmission cables together with power supply cables
and cables controlling inductive loads (e.g. contactors). Such cables should cross at a
right angle.
Contactor coils and inductive loads should be equipped with interference protection
systems, e.g. RC-type.
Use of screened signal cables is recommended. Signal cable screens should be
connected to the earth or ground only at one of the ends of the screened cable.
In the case of magnetically induced interference the use of twisted pair of signal cables is
recommended. Twisted pair (best if shielded) must be used with RS-485 serial
transmission connections.
In the case of measurement or control signals are longer than 100 Feet or go outside of
the building then additional safety circuits are required.
In the case of interference from the power supply side the use of appropriate interference
filters is recommended. Bear in mind that the connection between the filter and the unit
should be as short as possible and the metal housing of the filter must be connected to
the earth with the largest possible surface. The cables connected to the filter output must
Connection of the power supply, and the measurement and controlling signals should
be made by screw connectors mounted inside the housing.

6.1. MEASUREMENT MODE
In the measure mode, the measurement results, converted over selected characteristic, are
displayed on the LED display. The measurement range equal to the nominal range is called :
nominal measurement range, and the measurement range equal to the extended nominal
range is called: permissible measurement range (Figure 6.1, 6.2).

If the measurement value does not exceed permissible measurement range but
displayed value exceeds range -999 ÷ 9999, the warning "-Ov-" is displayed rather than
the calculated Value.
In the measurement mode user can check main thresholds values. After pressing [^] or [v]
button, name of the threshold (e.g. "rEL1") and the value will be displayed on the display in an
alternating mode. If [^] or [v] is pressed within 5 sec, the next threshold will be displayed,
Otherwise the device Will return to the measurement mode. If a free access is enabled (see
description of "SECu" menu), user can change the value of particular threshold pressing button
[ENTER] (see : PARAMETERS EDITION).
Input type, range of displaying values, characteristic of conversion, decimal point position and
measure filtering ratio, are user configurable parameters. All accessible parameters can be
changed by entering the menu (see: DEVICE PROGRAMMING). Use the local keyboard or the
remote controller to do it. (Note: all parameters can be remotely changed via RS-485 interface).
Configuration of the device (via menu or RS-485 interface) Does not stop the measurements.
The TruVu controller is equipped with a peak detection function. It can detect the peak of the input
signal and display the values. Presets connected with this function are placed in a "HOLd" menu
(see description of "HOLd" menu). The detection of the peak can be done if the measured signal
raises and drops in value at least equal to parameter "PEA". Detected peaks are displayed during
the time defined by parameter "timE". If a new peak is detected while the current one is displayed,
this new peak will be displayed and display time counter will be cleared (Figure 6.3). If no peaks are
detected while time "timE" elapses, device starts to show the current value of input signal Once
again. If "HdiS"="HOLD" then setting parameter "timE"=0.0 causes holding peak value until [ESC]
button is pressed. If "HdiS"="rEAL" then value "timE"=0.0 means no holding. Displaying peak
value is signalized by flashing most right decimal point.

6.3. CONTROL OF THE RELAY OUTPUTS
The control of the input (Fluid) (measured signal) is realized via relay outputs. Front panel LEDs
named "R" indicates the state of particular relay output.
If device is not equipped with one or more relay outputs, menus refer to the relays being
available, but apply to LED indicators only. In such case LEDs indicates exceeding of
particular thresholds but no relay will be activated.
Modes of the control can be changed depend on the values of parameters "SEtP", "SEt2", "HYSt","modE", "t on", "toFF", "unit" and "AL". Depend on "modE" parameter, relays can be not used
or controlled over one or two thresholds values.
I
f one threshold is used (Figure 6.4) the relay can be turned on ("modE" = "on") or off
("modE" = "oFF") when the input signal value is contained in zone A. If two thresholds are used
(Figure 6.5) the relay will be turned on when value of input signal is contained in zone A ("modE" = "in") or zone B ("modE" = "out") and turned off if the signal is contained in the second one.

this mean that value of “t Sn” parameter is real has 00.08 value in preserved unit of the “t Sh”
parameter.

If we set parameters of tank in [m] unit (“t Sn” parameter takes [cm] unit respectively, see above),
than displays the result the volume of the tank in [m3] unit, if we set parameters of tank in [cm]
unit (“t Sn” parameter takes [mm] unit respectively, see above), than displays the result the
volume of the tank in [cm3] unit.
"t Sh" parameter may be greater than height (for ver tical position) or diameter (for horizontal
position) of the tank, which means that the total volume of the tank can be achieved by eg. such
middle-current range,
If the measurement value does not exceed permissible measurement range but displayed value
exceeds range of 9999 than you can move to the right position of the decimal point if it is still
possible (see parameter Menu->”inPt”->”Pnt”).
If in the volume characteristics of a cylindrical tank is exceeded the value of the volume of the
tank sets by parameters available in menu "inPt" instead of the calculated result will be display
warning “-Hi-”.
If user defined characteristic is selected (parameter “CHAr” = ”USEr”) the parameters „Lo C” and „Hi
C” are not available for modification, due to their values are calculated from defined characteristic.
- this menu allow user to add single point to the user defined characteristic. After selection of this option device
waits for „X” and „Y” coordinates of new point. Modification of the coordinates is done accordingly to numerical
“AddP”
parameters edition. Coordinate „X” defines the percentage ratio of input current to selected current range. The
„X” range: -99,9 ÷ 199,9. Coordinate „Y” defines displayed value for particular „X” value. The „Y” value can be
changed in range: -999 ÷ 9999, decimal point position depend on „Pnt” parameter (menu ”inPt ”).
User can not enter two points with the same value of „X” coordinate. If user trays to do it, ”Err”
warning is displayed. To modify any defined point use ”EdtP” option.
To
distinguish „X” and „Y” coordinates, if „X” coordinate is displayed an additional decimal point on
utmost right position is displayed.
If
user defined characteristic is selected, and if number of defined points is lower than 2 then
warning ”Errc” is displayed in measurement mode.
- this option allows user to delete any of the points of the user defined characteristic. After selection current
number of points of the user defined characteristic is displayed for about approx. 1.5 sec. After that device waits
“dELP”
“EdtP”
for selection of point being deleted (by [^], [v] buttons). The short pressing of [ENTER] button causes by
switching between X and Y value of the displayed point. The long press (press and hold at least 2 sec) of [ENTER]
button causes by displaying „dEL?” ask. If [ENTER] button is pressed again, current point is deleted and new
updated number of points of the user defined characteristic is displayed.
- this option allows user to modify of particular point of the user defined characteristic. After selection current
number of points of the user defined characteristic is displayed for about approx. 1.5 sec. After that device waits
for selection of point being edited (by [^], [v] buttons). The short pressing of [ENTER] button causes by
switching between X and Y value of the displayed point. The long press (press and hold at least 2 sec) of [ENTER]
button causes by entering to edit the selected coordinate of the point. Modification of the coordinates is done
accordingly to numerical parameters edition.
“AddP”, ”dELP” and “EdtP” options are available only if the user defined characteristic is used (it
means when parameter “CHAr” = ”USEr”).
- these parameters define the expansion of nominal range in percent. They determine the permissible range of
input signal (Figure 7.3).
“Lo r”
”Hi r”
The permissible range allow user to exceed the nominal range of input signal. If input value is contained in the
permissible range a proper result is displayed.
If input signal exceeds this range (defined by “Lo r” and “Hi r”), “-Lo-” or “- Hi-” warning is displayed depend on
input signal value.

message "-Hi-"
The “Lo r” parameter is important if input is set to “4-20”, “ 1-5” or “2-10” mode only, and determines lower
border of the permissible range. If input is set to “0-20”, “ 0-5” or “0-10” mode then lower border of the
permissible range is always 0.
For example if input is set to “4-20” mode, then lower border is calculated due to
expression : Imin = 4 mA - 4 mA × “Lo r” %. The “Lo r” value can be set from 0 to 99.9%.
Parameter “Hi r” determines the upper border of the permissible range accordingly to the expression (for all
modes).
Fo
r example if input is set to “4-20” mode, then upper border is calculated due to
expression: Imax = 20 mA + 20 mA × “Hi r” %.
The value of “Hi r” can be set from 0 to 19.9%
In example no 1 of the DISPLAY VALUES CALCULATION paragraph the procedure of the permissible input
range determining is presented in details.
If the measurement value does not exceed permissible measurement range but displayed value
exceeds range -999 ÷ 9999, the warning ”-Ov-” is displayed rather than the calculated result.
7.3.3. ”OutP” menu
This menu contains parameters of analogue output control. M enu is available if the device is equipped witch
analogue output.
Analogue output can be controlled depend on both present measured value and peak value (if
peak detection is enabled).
“Omod”
- analogue output mode. Depending on version of the device there are following
options:
"oFF" - current output disabled,
"0-20" - current output enabled with 0 ÷ 20 mA mode,
"4-20" - current output enabled with 4 ÷ 20 mA mode,
"mod
b" - current output controlled via RS-485 interface.
For passive current output:
"oFF" - current output disabled,
"4-20" - current output enabled with 4 ÷ 20 mA mode,
"modb" - current output controlled via RS-485 interface.
For active voltage output:
"oFF" - voltage output disabled,
"0-5" - voltage output enabled with 0 ÷ 5V mode,
"1-5" - voltage output enabled with 1 ÷ 5V mode,
"0-10" - voltage output enabled with 0 ÷ 10V mode,
"2-10" - voltage output enabled with 2 ÷ 10 V mode,
"modb" - voltage output controlled via RS-485 interface.
"OUtL"
"OUtH"
The analogue output value is calculated due to formula given below:
where:
- this parameter determines the input value for which the output signal is minimal
(depend of output mode „Omod”).
- this parameter determines the input value for which the output signal is maximal
(depend of output mode „Omod”).
W – displayed value,
Out – analogue output value,
B – higher range limit (20mA / 5V / 10V),
A – lower range limit (0mA / 4mA / 0V / 1V / 2v),
“OutL” parameter can be greater than “OutH”. In this case the conversion characteristic is reversed,
it means that if input value raises the output value falls.
- this parameter determines the behaviour of analogue output if any critical situation occurs.
According to version of the device, this parameter can be set:
- this parameters define the output value range. If calculated output value Out
exceeds defined range then analogue output generates signal equal to upper or lower
border of the defined range. These parameters defines the percentage extension of
nominal analogue range (with 0,1% resolution).
Parameter “Lo r” defines lower border of the range due to formula:
Out
min = A - (A × “Lo r” %), where:
A – lower signal value range limit.
This parameter can be set from 0 to 99.9% (for active current output and active
voltage output) or from 0 to 29.9% (for passive current output).
Parameter “Hi r” defines higher border of the range due to formula:
Out
max = B + (B × “Hi r” %), where:
B – higher signal value range limit.
This parameter can be set from 0 to 19.9% (for active and passive current output) or
from 0 to 9.9% (for active voltage output).
In example on page 51 of the DISPLAY VALUES CALCULATION paragraph the
procedure of the analogue outputs determining is presented in details.
For active current output:
“noCH” - current will not change,
“22.1” - current will be set to 22.1 mA,
“3.4” - current will be set to 3.4 mA,
“0.0” - current will be set to 0 mA.
For passive current output:
“noCH” - current will not change,
“22.1” - current will be set to 22.1 mA,
“3.4” - current will be set to 3.4 mA,
For active voltage output:
“noCH” - voltage will not change,
“11.0” - voltage will be set to 11 V,
“5.5” - voltage will be set to 5.5 V,
“1.2” - voltage will be set to 1.2 V.
“0.6” - voltage will be set to 0.6 V,
“0.0” - voltage will be set to 0 V.
When the critical situation goes, the output signal will be set to value calculated due to
formulas given above.
This parameter allows user to set bright of the LED display, bright can be set to conventional values
from 1 to 8.

7.3.7. "rS" menu
This menu is connected with RS-485 interface, and sets his properties:
”Addr”
”bAud”
”mbAc”
The access to registers no 04h i 05h cant be denied by ”mbAc” parameter (see: LIST OF REGISTERS).
- this parameter defines the address of the device, accordingly to Modbus protocol. It can be set in range from 0
to 199. If the value 0 is set then device, responds to frames with address 255 (FFh).
- this parameter determines RS-485 interface baud rate. It can be set to one of 8 possible values: ”1.2”, ”2.4”,
”4.8”, ”9.6”, ”19.2”, ”38.4”,”57.6”,”115.2”, which respond to the baud rates of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600 and 115200 bit/s respectively.

frequently used values.
be greater than the value of ”mbtO” parameter, the relays and analogue outputs which are controlled via RS485 interface, will set to alert state (see "OUtP" menu, and “rEL1” menu description). Parameter “mbtO” can be
set to values from 0 to 99 seconds. The value 0 means that the time will be not controlled.
- this parameter defines minimal (additional) delay between the Modbus message and the answer of the device
(received and sent via RS-485 interface). This additional delay allows the device to work with poor RS-converters
which do not works properly on baud rates higher than 19200. This parameter can be set to one of values:
”Std” - answer as quick as possible, no additional delay
” 10c”
” 20c”

parameters: "tyPE", "Lo r" and "Hi r" in paragraph "InPt" menu.
9. OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION
The current input of the device is equipped with over-current protection circuit. This circuit protects
the standard resistor against damage. Maximum input current is set to 40mA (typical). When
temperature of the standard resistor falls, the protection circuit will turn on automatically, and the
device will measure the input current again. Due to thermal phenomenon in the standard resistor,
precision of the measurement may be lower until to the standard resistor temperature will falls to the
environment temperature.
