The Moore Industries universal SPD Programmable
Loop Display accepts a 4-20mA input from a process
transmitter or similar analog device, and indicates
real-time process status in mA, percent, or any
designated engineering unit (EGU) on its 5-digit
display. Both the process value and engineering unit
(up to 5 characters) are shown on the display.
Versatile Programmability—The SPD can be
programmed on-site using front mounted buttons, or
our easy-to-use SPD PC Configuration Software.
Extra-Large Display—Read the process status from
across the room using the SPD’s independently
configured display, which features 29 millimeter-high
(1.15 inch) characters and an optional back-lit display
(The –BL option requires a 24Vdc power supply).
Dual Alarm Relays Available—The SPD is available
with individually configurable dual alarm trip relays
(–2PRG option). Each relay can be set to trip if the
4-20mA process variable falls outside of user set
high and/or low process limits. This allows the SPD
to connect to a warning light, annunciator, bell, or
shutdown system, protecting your process with a
simple, reliable shutdown system.

SPD
Programmable Field-Mount
Loop Display (NEMA 4X, IP66)
Installing the SPD
Installing the SPD in your loop involves mounting and
making the electrical connections. It is recommended
that the SPD be installed in the loop before it is
programmed so that you can use the input capture
features to capture the exact full and zero values of the
loop. (See Loop Connections) If this is not practical,
you can also use a variable current source and an
ammeter or multimeter to setup your unit before you
install it on the loop. (See Configuration Connections)
Mounting
The SPD comes prepared for field-mounting in a FH
enclosure.
Loop Connections
The recommended method of programming requires
you to install the SPD into the loop before you program
it. Figures 2 and 3 describe typical loop installations
of the 2.3VLP and 24DC SPD units.
To connect to the SPD, you will first need to remove
the side panel(s). Use a flathead screwdriver to
remove the four screws on the right side of the SPD. If
your SPD has the –2PRG option, you will also need to
remove the left side panel to give access to the alarm
relays.
Once the panels are open, make the electrical
connections as shown in Figures 2 and 3. When
connecting the SPD to the PC, it is essential that you
use the communications cable included with your SPD.
Note that 2.3VLP models with the –BL option require a
24Vdc power supply to power the backlight.
Note:
On the tag for the communications cable, it should
read “rev. D” or later. If it does not list a revision, then
it is an older Moore Industries cable, and may or may
not work properly with the SPD.
Configuration Connections
To configure the SPD before attaching it to the loop,
you need a calibrated, adjustable current source
capable of discrete output levels in the 4-20mA range.
It should have a minimum accuracy of ±0.01%. Once
you have the required equipment (as shown in
Table 1), hook up the SPD according to either
Figure 4 or 5.
To connect to the SPD, you will first need to remove
the side panel(s). Use a flathead screwdriver to
remove the four screws on the right side of the SPD.
If your SPD has the –2PRG option, you may decide to
remove the left side panel to give access to the alarm
relays.
Once the panels are open, make the electrical
connections as shown in the appropriate Figure. When
connecting the SPD to the PC, it is essential that you
use the communications cable included with your SPD.
Note that 2.3VLP models with the –BL option require a
24Vdc power supply to power the backlight.

Once the Configuration Program is installed on the
PC, the SPD can be connected to the loop or to
equipment to simulate and calibrate input. You can
then view and/or change the instrument’s parameters.
Once the program is loaded and running, nearly all of
the operating parameters for the connected transmitter
are shown on a single screen. This makes it easy to
determine which aspects of transmitter operation need
to be changed to suit the application requirements.

Once the Configuration Program is installed on
the PC, the unit can be connected to equipment to
simulate input, monitor output, and view or change
the SPD’s operating parameters. Using the PC
Program to configure the SPD is accomplished in just
a few simple steps: Installation, Programming the
Input and Output, Programming the Alarms (-2PRG
models only), and either Programming the Input Trim,
or Programming with a Custom Curve.
To review the configuration that is currently loaded in
the connected SPD use the Transfer/Get Setup feature
from the menu bar, or the right arrow tool from the tool
bar. This will cause all the current parameters to be
displayed.
Downloading the Configuration
After the configuration has been set to your
satisfaction, it can be downloaded to the unit by
selecting Download from the Transfer menu or
by pressing the Download button on the toolbar.
Downloading the configuration displayed in the PC
program overwrites the unit’s current configuration.
Downloading the configuration to the SPD may take
up to 30 seconds to complete. It is important to let the
sequence finish before taking any other action.
Once completed, the Input Settings, Display Settings,
and Device portions of the screen will change to
match the configuration listed on the rest of the
screen. The Status indicator in the top left hand corner
of the view will then indicate the program has reverted
back to its idle mode.

There are two ways to select the Input Settings:
1. The best way to define these numbers is to hook
the SPD up to the loop (see Installing the SPD)
and set the loop to its zero value, then press the
CAPTURE ZERO button. When the dialog box
pops up, press OK. Next, set the loop to its full
value and press the CAPTURE FULL button.
Again, press OK on the dialog box. You will see
that the loop values were captured and placed into
the edit boxes by INPUT ZERO and INPUT FULL.
2. The second way to define these numbers is to
enter them into the edit box. Simply click on the
edit box and enter the values.
Tag
The tag is a 16-digit alphanumeric character that is
used to identify a specific SPD. It is only viewable
from the PC program. Enter a suitable name for your
transmitter in the edit box.
EGU
The EGU is the engineering unit that will be displayed
on the second line of the SPD display. It is limited to
5 characters made up of numbers, selected symbols,
and capital letters.
Linearization Mode
If you are planning to use a normal, linear equation by
inserting the zero and full input values on the INPUT/
OUTPUT tab, keep the LIN. MODE set to NORMAL.
Setting this to CUSTOM disables the normal linear
curve and moves you to the CUSTOM CURVE portion
of the program, where you can setup a custom
linearization curve.
Filter
The filter is designed to eliminate mains-induced noise.
Set this to the Hz rating of the country that you are in.
When you have finished changing all your settings,
press the download button to transmit the information
to your SPD. It will place the information in nonvolatile
memory so that if a power outage occurs, you won’t
lose your settings.
Note:
None of these values will affect the SPD until they
are downloaded to the instrument. When you have
set every value that you need to change, press the
download button to finish the process.
Display Settings
The DISPLAY SETTINGS box controls what numbers
the display shows. This setting gives the SPD the
ability to convert the 4-20mA loop signal to a reading
in engineering units. To set the SPD to display the
appropriate numbers, enter the zero and full values for
the measurement into the appropriate edit boxes.
A typical example of zero and span values for a loop
transmitting temperature information would be 0° and
100° C, respectively.

Display Resolution
The DISPLAY RESOLUTION table permits you to
change the number of decimal points that the SPD
displays. The AUTO selection causes the decimal
place to automatically adjust to the largest number of
decimal points possible. Other options permit you to
select from zero (NONE) to three decimal points. Set
this to the appropriate decimal point.
Damping Time
The damping function of the SPD allows the user to
introduce a delay into the displays response to the
loop power in order to make a fluctuating loop easier to
read. The value of the output damping is the number
of seconds that it will take for the display to make a
63% change in response to the change in input. A
damping time of “0” will disable damping.

Programming the Alarms Function
(Only for units with the -2PRG option)
The Alarms tab allows you to set the trip points,
deadband value, fail high/low, and failsafe/non-failsafe
values of the SPD. Note that only SPDs with the
-2PRG option have alarm capability.
Figure 8. The PC Program’s Alarm Parameters Tab
Delay
The Delay Value represents the amount of time delay
between the input exceeding the trip point and setting
the actual state change of the alarm. Delay values are
available between 0 and 120 seconds.
Capture Trip Point
The Capture Trip Point button permits you to attach
the SPD into the loop and read the trip point from the
transmitter. Simply press the Capture Trip Point button
and a wizard will pop up to guide you through the
process.
Programming the Trimming
Parameters
The Trimming tab helps you to match the zero and
full range values of the SPD to those of the loop
it is connected to. Essentially, it is correcting any
inaccuracies with the process variable transmitter. To
begin this simple process, connect the SPD into the
loop as shown in Installing the SPD, and press the Trim
Zero Now or the Trim Full Now buttons. A software
window will appear to guide you through the process. If
you change your mind, select Factory Trim Mode and
the SPD will return to the factory calibration values.
Alarm Settings & Terms
Use the Alarm 1 and 2 Settings portions of the screen
to set the Trip and Deadband values for alarms 1 and
2, respectively. The Trip Value is the point at which the
alarm goes into an on position. The Deadband Value
controls how far back past the trip point the process
variable has to go before the alarm switches back to
the off position. For example, if you have an alarm
trip high of 50 and a deadband of 10, then after the
process variable reaches 50, it must go down past 40
before the alarm shuts off
(trip of 50 – deadband of 10 = 40).
Fail High/Low & Failsafe/Non-Failsafe
Fail High causes the SPD to alarm when the process
variable goes over the set trip point, while Fail Low
causes the SPD to alarm when the process variable
goes under the trip point. Failsafe alarms are
de-energized when tripped, and energized when the
process input is at a non-alarm level. Non-Failsafe
alarms are energized whenever tripped, and deenergized when the process is at a non-alarm level.

Programming with a Custom Curve
The custom curve tab allows you to setup a custom
curve of up to 128 points. If you are looking for a
description of a specific part of the custom curve, click
on the graphic below. To setup a custom curve, simply
follow the steps below. To import a custom curve
instead of designing one, follow the instructions in
Importing a Custom Curve.
Linearization Data
Use the Linearization Data portion of the screen to set
the number of linearization points you will have in your
table and to enter the actual linearization points. In the
linearization table, insert the loop value in mA into the
X Column; in the Y column, enter the corresponding
data (i.e., the °C, °F, Gallons, PSIG, Millimeters, etc.).
If you are planning to display the data in the Y column
in the same EGU’s as those in the table, click the Grab
button to grab both the zero and full display settings
from the table.
Figure 10. The PC Program’s Custom Curve Parameters Tab
Note:
When entering data in the linearization table, make
sure that you enter a number into every open cell.
You may want to use some of the buttons listed in
the Commands box below to help when entering
linearization points.
Linearization Mode
If you are planning to use a custom curve, leave this
button set at CUSTOM. Changing it to NORMAL will
switch modes and cause the SPD to assume a normal,
linear equation.
Input Settings
This section controls the mA that you expect to read
off of the loop. Enter in the zero span and full span
data for the loop by clicking on the text boxes and
typing in the information.
Display Settings
This section allows you to replace the displayed value
with a different value than what is in the custom table.
For example, if your Y column of the table had a range
of 0-100, and you input a zero value of 0 and a full
value of 50 into the Display Settings section, then
when you received full input into the SPD, it would
read 50; when you received 25% of span in the SPD, it
would read 12.5. This is helpful if you set up a complex
custom curve and then need to change the output
values at a later time. You can also use it to reverse
the display output; showing a decreasing value on the
display as the input rises.
If you are planning on displaying a different value
and EGU than what is listed in the table, follow the
instructions in Display Settings (a few sections down).
You would use this function for example, if you wanted
to input the table in °C but display the percent of span
by placing 0 and 100 in the Display Setting boxes.
16 Demand Moore Reliability
Note:
If you are not planning on using this feature, make
certain that the Display Settings button matches the
custom curve information by clicking on the Grab
button.
When you have finished changing all your settings,
press the download button to transmit the information
to your SPD. It will place the information in nonvolatile
memory so that if a power outage occurs, you won’t
lose your settings.

Programming the SPD with a Square
Root Table
Moore Industries provides two options for customers
that require a square root linearization table. You can
either generate your own custom curve table or use a
curve table that is already provided.
Option One:
Generating a Custom Square Root Curve
The first option is to run the Square Root Table
Generator and create a custom square root table that
can be easily saved and imported into the Universal
PC Configuration Software. To generate your own
table, follow the instructions below.
1. From the START Menu, click on PROGRAMS,
MOORE INDUSTRIES, then CURVE GENERATOR.
2. Enter the values for the input and display into the
appropriate boxes. Enter the number of linearization
points that you would like generated into the NUMBER
OF LIN. POINTS box.
3. Click on GENERATE to create the table, then enter
the name you would like the table saved as.
4. Close the Square Root Curve Generator and open
the Universal PC Configuration Software. Click on
the FILE menu, then on IMPORT CUSTOM CURVE.
Select the “view all files” on the OPEN dialog box,
then find the file name that you just saved. (it’s
default directory is “C:\My Moore Industries Data\
Custom Curves”) and click OPEN. The Universal PC
Configuration Software will import the file.
5. Verify all settings.
6. Use the download button to transmit the new
custom table to the instrument and finish the process.
Option Two:
Importing a Pre-made Square Root Curve
The second option is to use a pre-made custom curve
table that works with the square root function. To
import the file, follow the instructions below.
1. In the Universal PC Configuration Program, click on
the FILE menu, then on IMPORT CUSTOM CURVE.
Select the “view all files” on the OPEN dialog box,
then find the file named “SquareRoot_0-100PCT.csv”
(it will be in the “C:\My Moore Industries Data\Custom
Curves” Directory) and click OPEN. The Universal PC
Configuration Software will import the file.
2. Verify all settings.
3. Use the download button to transmit the new
custom table to the instrument and finish the process.

Importing a Custom Curve Table
Instead of having to re-enter your custom curve
information that you have already entered into a
program like Microsoft Word, Excel, or Notepad, you
can import the file to our Universal PC Configuration
Software. This can be a file you have created, or a file
that came pre-made with our software.
If you are interested in using the square root function,
use our Square Root Table Generator Program to
generate a custom table.
To import a different custom curve file, follow the steps
below.
1. To compose a file in Word or Notepad, make sure
that you have two float values per line with a comma
separating the two. Then save them as a .csv file. To
compose a file in Excel that is compatible with our
configuration software, enter the X values in column
one and Y values in column two. Save this file as a
comma-separated (.csv) file.
Note:
If you are using an equation to calculate your custom
curve, saving the file properly in Excel can be tricky.
To setup the file correctly, highlight the two columns
that correspond to X and Y in the Configuration Pro-
gram, then click EDIT and COPY. Next, create a new
file, and go to EDIT and PASTE SPECIAL. When it
prompts you regarding how to paste the information,
tell Excel to paste it as “Values”. Then save the file as
a comma-separated (*.csv) file. Go to step 2.
Exporting a Custom Curve Table
Exporting a custom curve can be useful if you want to
use Excel or another spreadsheet program to edit the
custom curve for your instrument or if you want to use
an already-created curve in another Moore Industries
PC Program.
All you need to do to export a custom curve from the
PC Configuration Program is to follow the steps below.
1. In the Universal PC Configuration Program, click on
the FILE menu, then on EXPORT CUSTOM CURVE.
Enter the name of the file into the appropriate field and
click the SAVE button. Your file has now been saved.
2. Use any program that will open a comma-separated
file (.csv) to edit the table.
2. In the Universal PC Configuration Program, click on
the FILE menu, then on IMPORT CUSTOM CURVE.
Find the appropriate file and click OPEN. The Universal PC Configuration Software will import the file.
3. Use the download button to transmit the new custom table to the instrument and finish the process.

SPD Security
To protect the operational settings, the SPD is
equipped with a security password. Insure that the
Password Jumper is in the ON position. With the
password protection ON, making changes to the SPD
configuration via the front-panel buttons can only take
place after entering a two-digit, user-defined code.
With password protection OFF, the user can make
changes freely to the SPD settings, including to the
password code itself.
Note:
Setting the password jumper to On only inhibits
access to the SPD’s configuration via the front-panel
buttons; it does not affect the PC Software’s ability to
access and change the SPD’s configuration.
Changing the Password Security Setting
To change the security setting, turn off the power,
remove the right side of the SPD, and change the
jumper position as shown. When you are finished,
reapply power to the SPD. The SPD password
security setting will only change after the SPD power
has been turned off and on.
Customer Service
If service assistance is ever required for one of the
SPDs in your application, refer to the back cover of this
manual for the telephone numbers to Moore Industries
STAR Center customer service department.
If possible, make a note of the model number of the
offending unit before calling. For fastest assistance, try
to gather information on the unit(s) serial number and
the job and purchase order number under which it was
shipped.

To return equipment to Moore Industries for repair, follow these four steps:
1. Call Moore Industries and request a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number.
Warranty Repair –
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
