The Proper Installation & Maintenance of TX801R

MOUNTING.

(1) Mount in a clean environment in an electrical cabinet on 35mm, symetrical, mounting rail.
(2) Do not subject to vibration or excess temperature or humidity variations.
(3) Avoid mounting in cabinets with power control equipment.
(4) To maintain compliance with the EMC Directives the TX801R is to be mounted in a fully enclosed steel cabinet.

The cabinet must be properly earthed, with appropriate input / output entry points, filtering, and cabling.

WIRING.

(1) A readily accessible disconnect device and overcurrent device must be incorporated in the the power supply wiring.
(2) All cables should be good quality overall screened INSTRUMENTATION CABLE with the screen earthed at one end only.
(3) Signal cables should be laid a minimum distance of 300mm from any power cables.
(4) For 2 wire current loops, 2 wire voltage signals or 2 wire current signals, Austral Standard Cables B5102ES is

recommended. For three wire transmitters, RTD's, and Resistance Sensors, Austral Standard Cables B5103ES is

recommended.
(5) It is recommended that you do not ground current loops and use power supplies with ungrounded outputs.
(6) Lightning arrestors should be used when there is a danger from this source.
(7) Refer to diagrams for connection information.

COMMISSIONING.

(1) Once all the above conditions have been carried out and the wiring checked apply power to the PI-K loop and allow five

minutes for it to stabilize.
(2) Due to differences in cable resistance in the resistance sensor legs or errors within the resistance sensor itself a small

error may occur (usually less than 1%). To remove this error take a low (approx 10%) and a high (approx 90%) reading

of the variable being measured by the transducer supplying the signal to the TX801R, and ensure that this agrees with
the level being indicated by the PLC or indicator, etc. that the PI-K is connected into. Adjust for any difference using
the Zero and Span trimpots in the top of the PI-K enclosure with a small screwdriver, until the two levels agree. (Clockwise
to increase the output reading and anti-clockwise to decrease the output reading.)

MAINTENANCE.

(1) Repeat (2) of the commisioning instructions.
(2) Do it regularly - at least once every 12 months.

disconnected.

Notes:
1/ H1 is approx 4cm (1½") behind the 'S' trimpot.
2/ Exceeding voltage ranges may damage the unit.
3/ Ensure the enclosure label is correctly labelled for the

4/ Adjust H1 jumper with a pair of needle nose pliers.
5/ Low Voltage Power Supply version is fixed, and has
no link. This must be ordered separately.

TX801R Input Programming.

Always set OUTPUT range first, then INPUT range.
If the input range is not listed in the programming
table, use the following formulae to work out the
Zero and Span DIP switch settings for gain.

Span Gain =

600 x Pregain .
Resist High - Resist Low

Zero Gain = Resist Low

5 x Pregain

Note: (a) Enter Ranges with their exponential value. Eg. Enter 2kΩ as 2 x 103.

(b) Use the same pregain value in both the Span and Zero gain formulae.
(c) Enter the Zero or Span gain value into the appropriate Zero or Span DIP switch.

TX801R Input Range Programming Table.

Notes: 1/ Switch status 1 = ON, 0 = OFF, X = DON'T CARE.

2/ Input ranges with '*' beside them require more adjustment by the Zero & Span trimpot.

So if a gain value of 28 is required, put DIP switch no's 3, 4, 5 OFF (ie, gains
of 4 + 8 + 16 = 28) and all the other DIP switches ON.
DIP switches and trimpots are accessed by removing the small rectangular
lid on the top of the PI-K enclosure
