NOTES, WARNINGS and CAUTIONS

Information that is especially important to note is identified by following labels:

• NOTE

• WARNING or CAUTION

• IMPORTANT

• TIP

NOTE: Provides you with information that is important to successfully

setup and use the Programmable Digital Meter.

CAUTION or WARNING: Tells you about the risk of electrical shock.

CAUTION, WARNING or IMPORTANT: Tells you of circumstances or

practices that can effect the instrument’s functionality and must refer
to accompanying documents.

TIP: Provides you helpful hints.

Section 1 - Introduction

The UV1000-PM universal verbalizer panel meter is an innovative
panel meter that can verbalize and display process signals. It can accept
0 to 10 Vdc voltage input, 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA current input, and
Type J, K, T, and R thermocouple input signals.

You can easily configure and program the verbalizer through the
friendly PC user interface - to specify the input range, display decimal
point, analog input scaling, select audible engineering unit, high/low
alarm set point, alarm deadband and etc. Select from over 100 audible
engineering units while you are configuring the verbalizer. The front
buttons allows the user to select different inputs, switch between
command/continuous talk, and adjusting volumes. The UV1000-PM is
a creative solution for you to monitor almost any type of your sensor
measurement value in speech/ display/alarming format.

The Universal Verbalizer UV1000-PM is not designed to measure high
voltage or current signals. It is designed to measure up to 10 Vdc max.
voltage and 20 mA max. current signals.

This device is marked with the international caution symbol. It is important
to read this manual before installing or commissioning this device as it
contains important information relating to Safety and EMC
(Electromagnetic Compatibility).

Installation of this instrument should be done by qualified personnel. In order
to ensure safe operation, the following instructions should be followed.

This instrument has no power-on switch. An external switch or circuit­breaker shall be included in the building installation as a disconnecting
device. It shall be marked to indicate this function, and it shall be in close
proximity to the equipment within easy reach of the operator. The switch or
circuit-breaker shall meet the relevant requirements of IEC 947–1 and
IEC 947-3 (International Electrotechnical Commission). The switch shall
not be incorporated in the main supply cord.

Furthermore, to provide protection against excessive energy being drawn
from the main supply in case of a fault in the equipment, an overcurrent
protection device shall be installed.

• Do not exceed voltage rating on the label located on the top of the
instrument housing.

• Always disconnect power before changing signal and power
connections.

• Do not use this instrument on a work bench without its case for safety
reasons.

• Do not operate this instrument in flammable or explosive atmospheres.

• Do not expose this instrument to rain or moisture.

• Unit mounting should allow for adequate ventilation to ensure
instrument does not exceed operating temperature rating.

• Use electrical wires with adequate size to handle mechanical strain
and power requirements. Install without exposing bare wire outside the
connector to minimize electrical shock hazards.

EMC Considerations

• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.

• Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.

• Use signal wire connections with twisted-pair cables.

• Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC
problems persist.

Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!

1.1 Safety Considerations

1.2 Before You Begin

Inspecting Your Shipment:

Remove the packing slip and verify that you have received everything
listed. Inspect the container and equipment for signs of damage as soon
as you receive the shipment. Note any evidence of rough handling in
transit. Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent. The
carrier will not honor damage claims unless all shipping material is
saved for inspection. After examining and removing the contents, save
the packing material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.

Customer Service:

If you need assistance, please call the nearest Customer Service
Department, listed in this manual.

Manuals, Software:

The latest Operation and Communication Manual as well as free
configuration software is available from the website listed in this
manual or on the CD-ROM enclosed with your shipment.

External Speaker:

External louder speaker is included as an accessory.

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.

Figure 2.10 RS232 Output Wiring Hookup

This device has snubber circuits
designed to protect the contacts
of the mechanical relays when it
switches to 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 Figure 2.9.

4.5.11 Application Examples of Rescaling the Engineering Unit

4.5.11.1 Voltage Input Settings and Rescaling

Application Example 1:

General Purpose Output Pressure Transducer

Omega Model Number: PX303-100A5V
Output: 0.5 – 5.5 Vdc
Pressure Range: 0-100 PSIA
The following PC user interface graphic, showing all the configuration

settings and values for this application example.

a. Select the Voltage Input

c. Select the decimal points – 2 decimal points

d. Input the voltage range value to the text boxes
These text boxes are for the voltages input values:

e. Input the Engineering Unit range value to the text boxes
These text boxes are for Engineering Units input values:

f. Set the High or Low alarm, Alarm Deadband value
Enable or disable the High or Low alarm settings

g. Click the Set button to send the settings to Universal Verbalizer.

h. After a few seconds, you will see ‘Configuration OK!’ message at the
bottom of the User interface. Now you are done with the rescaling and
also updated other settings for the Verbalizer.

i. If you click the
Read button, you will get all the settings from the
Universal Verbalizer at Voltage input mode.

Application Example 2:

High Temperature Handheld Infrared Thermometer

Omega Model Number: OS523E

Analog Output: 1 mV/deg

Temperature Range: 0 to 2500°F

The following PC user interface graphic, showing all the configuration

settings and values for this application example.

a. Select the Voltage input

b. Select the Engineering Unit – Degree F.

c. Select the decimal points x – No decimal point

d. Input the voltage range value to the text boxes
Calculate the Voltage Range: Since the Analog Output: 1 mV/deg and
the Temperature Range is 0 - 2500°F
The Voltage Min = 1 mV/deg * 0 deg = 0 mV = 0 V;
The Voltage Max = 1 mV/deg * 2500 deg = 2500mV = 2.5 V;
Type these calculated voltage values into the Min and Max text boxes:

e. Input the Engineering Unit range value to the text boxes according to:
Temperature Range: 0 - 2500°F
So, the Min Value is 0 and the Max Value is 2500.

b. Select the Engineering Unit – Degree F.

c. Select the no decimal points – x

d. Input the Current range value to the text boxes
This Transmitter Current Output range is : 4 – 20 mA
Select Current Range 4-20 or just type in 4 to Min text box and 20 to
Max text box

e. Input the Engineering Unit range value to the text boxes
The Transmitter temperature range is: 0-1000°F
So, type in 0 in Scaling Min Value, 1000 in Scaling Max Value

f. Set the High or Low alarm value and Alarm Deadband
Enable or disable the High or Low alarm settings

g. Click the Set button to send the settings to Universal Verbalizer

h. After a few seconds, you will see ‘Configuration OK!’ message at the
bottom of the User interface. Now you are done with the rescaling and
also updated other settings for the Verbalizer.
