2.3 Electrical Installation

2.3.1 Power Connections

Caution: Do not connect power to your device until you have completed all

input and output connections. Failure to do so may result in injury!

Connect the main power connections as shown in Figure 2.4.

Figure 2.4 Main Power Connections

Table 2.3 Fuse Requirements

FUSE Connector Output Type For 115 Vac For 230 Vac DC
FUSE 1 Power * N/A 100 mA(T) 100 mA(T) 100 mA(T)
FUSE 2 Power * N/A N/A N/A 400 mA(T)

For the low voltage power option, in order to maintain the same degree of
protection as the standard high voltage input power units (90 - 240 Vac),
always use a Safety Agency Approved DC or AC source with the same
Overvoltage Category and pollution degree as the standard AC unit (90 ­240 Vac).

The Safety European Standard EN61010-1 for measurement, control,
and laboratory equipment requires that fuses must be specified based on
IEC127. This standard specifies for a Time-lag fuse, the letter code “T”.
The above recommended fuses are of the type IEC127-2-sheet III. Be
aware that there are significant differences between the requirements
listed in the UL 248-14/CSA 248.14 and the IEC 127 fuse standards. As a
result, no single fuse can carry all approval listings. A 1.0 Amp IEC fuse
is approximately equivalent to a 1.4 Amp UL/CSA fuse. It is advised to
consult the manufacturer’s data sheets for a cross-reference.

RL - Voltage limited resistor, which allows to convert 24 Vdc internal excitation

voltage to the appropriate process input value. For instance: if the potentiometer
value is equal to 10 kΩ, the minimum RL is 14 kΩ for 10 V process input.

When configuring your instrument, select Process Type in the Input Type Menu
(see Part 3).

Wiring Hookup Hookup

In 4-Wire connections the voltage drop across long excitation lead wires of strain
gauge bridge may cause measurement errors. The output of a strain gauge
bridge also depends on the stability of excitation voltage. To correct for voltage
drop and changes in excitation voltage, 6-wire input configuration and ratio
measurement are used.

In order for the Ratiometric to work properly, the External Excitation should
not drop below 4.6 Vdc.

The figure below shows 6-wire hookup for 6-wire bridge input.

Figure 2.11 Snubber

Circuits Wiring Hookup

This device has snubber circuits
designed to protect the contacts of the

mechanical relays when it switches
inductive loads (i.e. solenoids, relays). These
snubbers are internally connected between the
Common (C) and Normally Open (NO) relay
contacts of Output 1 and Output 2.

If you have an inductive load connected
between Common (C) and Normally Closed
(NC) contacts of the mechanical relays and you
want to protect them from the rush current
during the switching period, you have to connect
an external snubber circuit between Common
(C) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts as
indicated in the figure below.

2.3.5 Wiring Outputs (continued)

This device may also have a programmable communication output. The RS-232
and RS-485 Output Connection are shown below.

If your meter has the communication option, the internal excitation is not
available. Use external excitation for strain gauge meter.

External RS-232 connections are not available with -EI or C4EI options.

3.2.6 Input/Reading (Scale and Offset) Menu

Input voltage or current can be converted or scaled into values appropriate for
the process or signal being measured. So, a reading may be displayed, for
example, in units of weight or velocity instead of in amperes and volts.
The controller determines scale and offset values based on two user-provided
input values entered with the corresponding readings.
There are two methods to scale this meter to display readings in engineering units.
The first method is to scale with known loads. Do this by applying known loads
to a transducer connected to a meter, or by simulating the output of the
transducer with voltage or current simulator.
The second method is to scale without known inputs. Do this by calculating
input values based on transducer specifications and manually entering them
through the front panel push-buttons.

Example 1: Scaling with Known Loads (On-Line Calibration).

When entering the input or reading values, disregard the position of the
decimal point.

If

ENBL

Enabled Load Submenu was selected, instrument is ready for

scaling with Known Loads method.

Apply a known load equal to approximately 0% of the
transducer range.

This scaling method based on 2 input values entered with 2 corresponding
reading. Up to 10 linearization points can be selected to customize the
transducer curve. To select linearization points see “L.PNt” Submenu.

22

Max scale should not be more than 50% FS because of noise related
issues.

Press

d

27) Display flashes

STRD

stored message momentarily and then

only, if a change was made, otherwise

advances to

ALR1

Alarm 1 Menu.

Example 2: Scaling without Known Loads.

If

DSBL

Disabled Load Submenu was selected, instrument is ready for

scaling Without Known Loads method.

To scale without known inputs, calculate inputs based on transducer specifications
and manually enter them on the via front panel push-buttons. The following example
assumes load cells with this specification:

Maximum Load: 100.0 lb
Output: 3.0 mV/V
Sensor Excitation 10 V
Maximum Sensor Output = 3.0 (mV/V) x 10 (V) = 30 mV

1. Determine the correct values for Inputs (IN!1 and IN!2).
Calculate IN!1 and IN!2 using the following equation:

IN

= (Sensor Output) x (Converison Number) x (Multiplier)

Conversion number is a coefficient of conversion between input values
and real full display range (10000 counts). See Table 3.1 below for proper
conversion number.

Table 3.2 Conversion Table

INPUT RANGE CONVERSION NUMBER

0 ~ 100 mV 10000 / (100 x 1) = 100 cts/mV
0 ~ 1 V 10000 / (1000 x 1) = 10 cts/mV
0 ~ 10 V 10000 / (1000 x 10) = 1 cts/mV
0 ~ 20 mA 10000 / (20 x 1) = 500 cts/mV

Multiplier determined by the Input Resolution setting

(

RESO

in the

INPT

Menu). See Table 3.2 below for proper multiplier.

Table 3.3 Input Resolution Multiplier

INPUT RANGE RESOLUTION

LOW HIGH
0 ~ 100 mV 1.0 10.0
0 ~ 1 V 1.0 10.0
0 ~ 10 V 1.0 10.0
0 ~ 20 mA 1.0 10.0

23

Determine

IN!1

and

IN!2

Input Range and Resolution. For our transducer select

0 ~ 100 mV range and LOW resolution (10 µV)

IN!1

= 0 (mV) X 100 (cts/mV) x 1.0 = 0

IN!2

= 30 (mV) X 100 (cts/mV) x 1.0 = 3000

2.

Determine correct values for Display Reading (RD!1

and

RD!2

)

. In most cases,

RD!1

RD!2

are equal to the minimum and the maximum of the transducer

output range.

The above example is for 0 - 10 V of the entire range of the Process
Input and Analog Output. For 0 - 20 mA output you need to set “Analog
Type” to Current and OUT 2 to 20.00.

Accuracy of Analog Output board is +/-1% of FS (Full Scale) when following
conditions are satisfied:

1. The input is not scaled below 1% of Input FS (10 mV @ 1 V or 0.2 mA @
20 mA input ranges).

2. Analog Output is not scaled below 3% of Output FS (300 mV @ 10 V or

0.6 mA @ 20 mA output ranges).

Otherwise certain corrections need to be applied.

For example:

For entire range of process input, the Analog Output on 10 V FS scaled for
300 mV output range:

Rd1 = 0000, Out1 = 00.00
RD2 = 9999, Out2 = 00.30

The measured output will be as follows:

Rd1 = 0000, Out1 = -0.07 V
Rd2 = 9999, Out2 = 0.23 V

This means that for 300 mV output range we have -70 mV offset at zero and at
full scale. In order to compensate this 70 mV offset the correct scaling will be
as follows:

Rd1 = 0000, Out1 = 00.07
Rd2 = 9999, Out2 = 00.37

The above corrections need to be applied only for Input scaled below 1% of FS
and Output scaled below 3% of FS or if you need the Analog Output accuracy

to be better than 1% of FS.

Loop Break Time Value Submenu.

Loop Break is an additional safety feature intended to monitor the rate of change
of the Process value, while approaching the SP1. It is strictly intended as an
additional warning system, therefore its use is entirely optional. An active Loop
Break will cause the Process Value digits to blink in a rotating pattern. If the
Process value reaches the set point the blinking will stop and

B.TIM

is

completed successfully, otherwise

BR.AL

Break Alarm warning will flash, and

Output 1 will be turned off.

Set Point Deviation Submenu, if “enabled”, allows changes to Setpoint 1 to be
made automatically to Setpoint 2. This mode is very helpful if the Process Value
changes often. In Set Point Deviation Mode, set SP2 a certain number of counts
away from SP1 - this relation remains fixed when SP1 is changed.

For instance:

Setting SP1=200 and SP2=20 and enabling

SP.DV

means that the absolute

value of SP2=220. Moving SP1 to 300, the absolute value of SP2 becomes 320.

The ON.OF control is a coarse way of controlling the process. The “Dead Band”
improves the cycling associated with the ON.OF control. The PID control is best
for processes where the set point is continuously changing and/or a tight control
of the process variable is required. PID control requires tuning and adjustment of
the “Proportional”, “Integral or Reset” and “Derivative or Rate” terms by a trial­and-error method. The instrument provides an "Auto Tuning" feature making the
tuning process automatic, possibly optimum.

If “Enabled”, the controller is ready to calculate P, PI or PID parameters.
The instrument performs this by activating the output and observing the
delay and rate at which the Process Value changes. The set points must
be at least 20 counts above the (PV) Process Value in order to perform
Auto Tune, otherwise an error message will be displayed.

To start Auto Tune PlD select PID, enable Auto PID and enable Start PID.
Sometimes Auto PID parameter needs fine tuning i.e. for each 10 counts
over shoot increase the Proportional Band (PB) by 15% and for each ±1
count fluctuation at the Set Point (SP) increase reset by 20%.

Once started, display shows A.TUN with letters blinking in the rotating
pattern. When auto tune stops, display will show process value. Do not
perform any operations or settings before first stopping Auto Tune. Any
alarms or other output is disabled during Auto Tune.

If “AUTO PID” was “DISABLED”, the display will show the following
three submenus. This allows the user to manually enter values for
Proportional, Reset and Rate terms corresponding to P, I, and D. It also

Ramp & Soak provides users with the flexibility to slowly bring the Process
Variable (PV) to the desired set point. Ramp & Soak values are specified in
HH.MM format. The Ramp value indicates the time specified to bring the process
variable to Setpoint 1 (SP1). Once set point is reached, the PID takes over and
the Process Variable will be controlled at the desired set point indefinitely. If
Soak is enabled, PID will control the Process Variable at the specified set point
for the duration of Soak time and then will turn off Output 1. To start a new
Ramp/Soak cycle, reset the instrument by pressing aand then cbutton.

An active Ramp/Soak will change SP1 one count above the PV and will cause
the most significant digit to blink. The SP1 will be incremented by one count until
