Alarm Terminology
Before setting up the SPA2, or incorporating the unit in your application, Moore Industries suggests
that all users take a few moments to become familiar with some of the terms associated with the use
of process instrumentation alarms and relays.
Failsafe Alarms - are de-energized when tripped, energized when the process input is at a
non-alarm level. Non-failsafe Alarms are energized whenever tripped, de-energized when the
process input is at a non-alarm level. The relays in the SPA2 can be switched from failsafe to
SECTION 1
non-failsafe at any time by the user.
Normal - is the term used to describe the “shelf-state” of relay contacts. The contacts of a Normally
Open relay are open (innite resistance) when the relay is not energized. The contacts of a Normally
Closed relay are open when the relay is energized (closed when not energized).
Note: Sometimes a non-alarm input level is referred to as being in a “normal” condition. This
practice is intentionally avoided in this manual. Do not confuse the term “normal”, as in Normally
Open or Normally Closed, with a non-alarm input condition. In this manual, “normal” is an exclusive
reference to the shelf state or quiescent state of an alarm’s relay contacts, whether open or closed.
User’s Manual
224-790-00K
May 2018
Latching and Non-latching Alarms - once tripped, a latching alarm remains in alarm until the input
returns to a non-alarm level AND is manually reset (using the MR terminals). Non-latching alarms
return to a non-alarm state whenever the process input returns to the Reset Point. The SPA
can be set by the user to function as either latching or non-latching.
Delay - A delay can be set to avoid false trips. The unit must be in an alarm condition for the delay
time before a relay trips.
The following terms relate to Trip Alarms:
The Trip Point is the process input level at which the user wants an alarm relay to change state,
typically going into an alarm condition, or “tripping.” In the SPA2, the user sets the trip point for each
installed relay.
High/Low Alarms - High Alarms trip when the process input goes above the trip point. Low Alarms
trip when the process input drops below the trip point. Each of the SPA2 outputs can be set by the
user to function independently as either high or low alarms.
The Reset Point is the process input level at which the user wants an alarm relay to change state,
typically going from alarm to non-alarm. The reset point is not necessarily the same as the trip point,
because most applications call for a buer zone or “Deadband” around the trip point to allow for
minute uctuations in the process input. In the SPA
setting. Latching SPA2 alarms will not “clear” unless the reset point has been reached or passed
AND the manual reset contacts have been shorted. The Deadband is the range in which an alarm
remains tripped even after the process input has returned to or passed the trip point. Deadband is
not required. When it is not incorporated into an alarm application, the trip point and reset point are
the same.

Rate-of-Change and Stuck Input Alarms - are used to detect changes or lack of changes in the
measured value in units per second.
A Rate-of-Change Alarm monitors an input for a change in value with respect to time (see Figure
1.3). The alarm is set to trip when the input rate-of-change exceeds a user-selected amount (Delta)
over a user-selected time period (Delta Time). This can be set to detect:
- positive rate of change to alarm if the input is rising too fast
SECTION 1
- negative rate of change to alarm if the input is falling too fast
- absolute rate of change to alarm if the input rises or falls too fast

A Stuck Input Alarm also monitors an input for a change in value with respect to time (see Figure
1.4). The alarm is set to trip when the input does not change by a user-selected amount (Delta) over
a user-selected time period (Delta Time). To set the correct value for delta and delta time, you need
to understand the expected process variations to avoid false trips and the input signal noise and
averaging lter settings to prevent missing stuck inputs.
Note: The Stuck Input Alarm is not available in firmware 3.3 or earlier.

Fault Alarms – There are various types of fault which can be selected to trip a unique alarm or in
combination with a trip or rate of change alarm.
Input Saturation is set when the input signal exceeds 110% of calibrated input range.
SPA2 Failure is set when there is self diagnosed failure of the unit.
Input/Sensor Failure is set when there is a broken wire on a sensor or an input falls below a set
threshold.
Out of Range can be set to detect when the input signal goes outside a user specied range (same
as band alarm) threshold. When setting the Out of Range Alarm, the values in Lower Point must be
greater than those of the Sensor Lower Limit, and less than those set in Lower Range. When setting
the Upper Point, the value must be less than the Sensor Upper Limit, and greater than those set in
Upper Range.

Note: Even though 0-20mA is the range of the analog output it can be scaled by the user for a
narrower range (such as 4-20mA).
1. Connect the analog output.
2. When testing the milliamp output it is best to use a 250 ohm precision resistor across the
output terminals. Then you can use your multimeter (set to voltage) to read the voltage drop
across the resistor. Hence a reading of 1V means that the analog output is putting out 4mA,
and a reading of 5V equates to a 20mA output.
3. Set your input simulator to the low end of your configured input span. Verify that the analog
output is correct. By example – a 1V reading across your 250 ohm resistor equates to a 4mA
output.
4. Set your input simulator to the high end of your configured input span. Verify that the analog
output is correct. By example – a 5V reading across your 250 ohm resistor equates to a 20mA
output.
You have now conrmed that your SPA2 is operating correctly and can now be condently installed
into your application.

Equipment Ratings
Contact Relays
The SPA2 does not generate hazardous voltages but can switch outputs up to 5A at up to
250Vac or 30Vdc on its relay contacts. Products connected to the SPA2 relay terminals should
be designed to receive this type of input.
Analog Output
The SPA2 does not generate hazardous voltages, it provides a low current 0-20mA output.
SECTION 3
Protective Earth Conductor
The Protective Earth Conductor shall be of equal or larger size wire than the other two power conductors. The Protective Earth Conductor shall be the first conductor connected to the unit when the unit is
being wired. It shall be the last conductor removed when the unit is being
un-wired.
Products connected to the SPA2 Analog Output terminals should be designed to receive this
type of input.
Warning: If this unit is used in a manner not specified by Moore Industries, the protection provided
by the equipment may be impaired.
User’s Manual
224-790-00K
May 2018
Input/Output Wiring
The Input/Output connections can be made with 14 to 24 AWG (2.5mm
each conductor should be stripped no more than 0.25in (7mm). Tighten the screws on the terminal
block to 4.4 - 5.3 lbf/in2 (0.5 - 0.6 N/m2).
Recommended Ground Wiring Practices
Moore Industries recommends the following ground wiring practices:
• Any Moore Industries product in a metal case or housing should be grounded.
• The protective earth conductor must be connected to a system safety earth ground before
making other connections.
• All input signals to, and output signals from, Moore Industries’ products should be wired using
a shielded, twisted pair wiring technique. Shields should be connected to an earth or safety
ground.
• For the best shielding, the shield should be run all the way from the signal source to the
receiving device. (see Note below)
• The maximum length of un-shielded input and output signal wiring should be 2 inches.
Note: Some of Moore Industries’ instruments can be classified as receivers (IPT2, IPX2, etc.)
and some can be classified as transmitters (TRX, TRY, etc.) while some are both a receiver and
a transmitter (SPA2, HIM, etc). Hence, your shield ground connections should be appropriate for
the type of signal line being shielded. The shield should be grounded at the receiver and not at the
signal source.

CE Certification-related Guidelines
Installation of any Moore Industries’ products that carry the CE marking must adhere to the
guidelines in the Recommended Ground Wiring Practices section in order to meet the EN 61326
requirements set forth in the applicable EMC directive.
The Low Voltage Directive also applies to the AC powered units and/or when connecting any of
its output relay contacts to voltages greater than 50 vac. In order to comply with EN61010-1 (Low
Voltage Directive) all guidelines in this section must be followed.
Contact/Load Suppression
When the instrument relays are used to switch an inductive load such as an external relay coil,
contactor, solenoid, large voltage spikes may be created in nearby cable harnesses. When
excessive, these voltage spikes can disrupt the operation of all nearby electronics including this
product. Inductive loads should have suppression devices installed at the load (for external relays
this would be right across the relay coil itself). Usually this is a simple diode for dc circuits. AC
circuits routinely use an R-C snubber. Please follow the external load manufacturer instructions for
their recommended suppression kits.
Installation in Hazardous Locations
This section contains important information regarding installation of SPA2 in Hazardous Area
Locations.
WARNING:
Explosion Hazard. Do not disconnect equipment when a flammable or combustible atmosphere is
present.

must be done on a regularly scheduled basis, both with near-end and far-end open circuits on each
of the wires.
Leakage current into a broken wire can prevent the voltage from dropping to the broken wire
threshold. For example, on a 1-5V input, with a broken wire threshold of 0.6V, a leakage current
of 1microamp into the broken wire will hold the input voltage at approximately 1.1V indefinitely. No
alarm results under these conditions.
If the external wiring is long and has significant capacitance, broken wire response time is slowed
by the RC time constant of the SPA2 input resistance and the external wire capacitance. For
example, 1 km of wire with 100pf/m capacitance and a far-end break, has a capacitance of
0.1microfarad. The time constant will be 0.11 seconds. Using a starting voltage of 3V and a broken
wire threshold of 0.6V, the threshold is reached in approximately 0.18 seconds. The instrument
response time must be added to this time.
If both leakage and capacitance exist, the time to threshold can extend greatly. Using a 5V starting
voltage, 0.6V threshold voltage, 1 km of wire and 0.5 microamps leakage current, the threshold is
reached in 0.42 seconds. The instrument response time must then be added to this time.
8. “SCALE MODE” appears; press SELECT. Choose whether or not to enable scaling. This will

Section 5: SPA2 PC Conguration Software
One of the benefits of the SPA2 is that you may either use the external push button controls to set up
the instrument, or use a PC and Moore Industries’ Intelligent PC Configuration software.
In using the software program, settings are downloaded to the instrument in the form of a
Configuration File and stored in the instrument’s memory. You can save a backup copy of the file
on your PC hard drive or disk. The SPA
connection to the PC’s serial port, or our Fuse Protected USB Communications Cable.
Note: Refer to the QuickStart Guide to see the default factory settings for your unit.
Installing the Configuration Software
Refer to Table 5.1. for the equipment needed.
1. Insert the Moore Industries Interface Solution PC Configuration Software CD into the CD drive
of the PC. Access the CD and open the “SPA
2. Double-click the installation program located in the folder. Follow the prompts to correctly
install the program.
Once the Configuration Program is installed onto your PC, the SPA2 can be connected to equipment
to simulate input and monitor output. You can then change the operating parameters of the alarm.
No Alarm Needed
It is not necessary to connect the SPA2 to a PC to create configuration files using the software. The
Configuration Program can be run without connecting an alarm, and most parameters can be set
without benefit of input from a sensor or SPA2.

Sensor Type (TPRG)– Select your sensor type and the respective range of your input.
Filter– This setting is used to configure the input filter. This filter is designed to reduce the effects
of mains-induced noise. The input filter frequency value should be set to the frequency of the local
AC supply– either 50Hz or 60Hz. For faster response times, the filter may be disabled by selecting
“Fast”.
Note: A faster response time can be achieved when selecting the Fast option, but this also will
produce a reduced accuracy and increase the possibility of mains-induced noise. Selecting FAST
option will also disable the Running Average Filter Setting automatically.
Broken Wire Detection (HLPRG)– The SPA2 monitors your process variable. If the monitored value
falls equal to or below a set value, then a state of Broken Wire is declared.

circuit detects a broken wire condition, then broken wire is declared.
1. Check/ Uncheck the “Enabled” box in order to activate/deactivate Broken Wire Detection.
Running Average Filter Settings– This function is for ltering the input signal. The SPA2 provides
this lter with a user-selected range between 1 and 64. Factory default is 4. This setting is only
available through the PC Conguration Software, and cannot be set using push-button menus on the
SPA2 unit.
Note:
A higher Running Average Filter setting provides smoother output transitions; however, reduces
response time. Conversely, a lower setting provides a faster response time, but may seem more
unstable. Typical Alarm Response time for Running Average Filter equal to 1 is 256ms. Having the
filter on will affect the performance of time based alarms like the Rate of Change and Stuck Alarms.
Input/Sensor Range– Allows you to set your upper and lower range values within the range chosen
in the Input Type section.
The desired Upper and Lower Range settings can be entered via your PC keyboard or captured. T
capture an input, follow the steps below.
1. Apply the desired Upper Range input and press the corresponding “Capture” button.
2. Repeat Step 1 to configure the Lower Range value.
Input/Sensor Trimming– Input Trimming increases the measurement accuracy of your instrument
by matching the reading of its actual input to either a calibrated source or the device to which it is
connected. This veries that the input to the transmitter is being interpreted correctly.
o
SECTION 5
You may trim any point between 0% and 100% along the scale. Note that one-point trimming applies
an offset to the input reading, while two-point trimming applies both an offset and a gain.

Note: Using the Scaling feature will disable the Custom Curve capability. Since both are scaling
features used to manipulate the appearance of your process variable, only one of these functions
may be used at a time.
Scaling– This allows you to customize your display for your application. By example: if your process
is sending a 4-20mA signal to the SPA2 and you wish to view the input as 0-100% then this can be
accomplished with the Scaling feature.
To scale your instrument, perform the following steps.
1. Click the “Enabled” check box.
2. The “Input Range” boxes (in the Scaling Tab) will display the range selected in the “Input
Range” section of the Input screen.
3. In the “Process Variable” text boxes, enter the values you wish displayed when your input is at
its Lower Range and Upper Range.
Once downloaded, your unit will display the scaled values on its LCD.
Note: In our above example, you may also wish to go to the Display screen and click on “Use
Custom Label” and enter “PCT” (percent) as your new label.
Note: Once you have configured all parameters, download to the unit by selecting “Download” in the
Transfer dropdown menu located in the Status Bar. Or, click the button in the Tool Bar.
You may also use the Quick Set feature to congure your Scaling parameters and download the
settings.
Congure your parameters and click the Quick Set button in the window. The settings you have
chosen will be applied and downloaded to your unit.

May 2018
Note: Using the Custom Curve feature will disable the Scaling capability. Since both are scaling
features used to manipulate the appearance of your process variable, only one of these functions
may be used at a time.
Custom Curve–The Custom Curve feature allows you to set up your own custom curve table. This
allows you to tell the transmitter what it should output when it receives a certain input. This feature
also allows you the ability to write a table in Microsoft
into the Configuration Software. This makes it simple to save the custom table for downloading to
multiple units or for backup purposes.
To create a custom curve:
1. Click the “Enabled” box .
2. Select the number of points for your curve (128 points maximum) and enter it into the “No Of
Points” text box.
3. In the “Custom PV (Y) Range” text boxes, enter the values you wish displayed when your
input is at its upper and lower ranges.
4. Type your individual values in the X and Y columns. Source variables are inserted into the X
Column while the corresponding data is inserted into the Y Column.
5. After all of your data has been entered, you must use the Custom Curve dropdown menu to
save your newly created custom table (“Save Custom Curve”) and to download it to your SPA2
(“Download Custom Curve”). See Figure 5.12.

If you are unsure if your unit is still under warranty, we can use the unit’s serial number to verify the warranty status for you
over the phone. Be sure to include the RMA number on all documentation.
Non-Warranty Repair –
If your unit is out of warranty, be prepared to give us a Purchase Order number when you call. In most cases, we will be
able to quote you the repair costs at that time. The repair price you are quoted will be a “Not To Exceed” price, which means
that the actual repair costs may be less than the quote. Be sure to include the RMA number on all documentation.
2. Provide us with the following documentation:
a) A note listing the symptoms that indicate the unit needs repair
b) Complete shipping information for return of the equipment after repair
c) The name and phone number of the person to contact if questions arise at the factory
3. Use sufficient packing material and carefully pack the equipment in a sturdy shipping container.
4. Ship the equipment to the Moore Industries location nearest you.
The returned equipment will be inspected and tested at the factory. A Moore Industries representative will contact the person
designated on your documentation if more information is needed. The repaired equipment, or its replacement, will be returned to
you in accordance with the shipping instructions furnished in your documentation.
