before proceeding.

1. Remove all wiring connections from the rear of the

instrument, by unplugging the power and input connectors.

2. Remove both thumbnuts and set aside.

3. Remove the sleeve and set aside.

4. Remove the meter from the panel and bend the side

panel detents on the case outward to release the board.
Pull the board assembly out of the case.

WIRING

Wire the instrument according to the figure shown below

Warning: Do not connect ac power to your
device until you have completed all input and
output connections. This device must only be
installed by a specially trained electrician with
corresponding qualifications. Failure to follow all
instructions and warnings may result in injury!

This Quick Start Reference provides information
on setting up your instrument for basic operation.
The latest complete Communication and Operational
Manual as well as free Software and ActiveX Controls
are available at www.omega.com/specs/iseries or

on the CD-ROM enclosed with your shipment

..

SAFETY CONSIDERATION

This device is marked with the international
Caution symbol.

The instrument is a panel mount device protected in
accordance with EN 61010-1:2001, electrical safety
requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control
and laboratory. Remember that the unit has no power-on
switch. Building installation should include a switch or circuit­breaker that must be compliant to IEC 947-1 and 947-3.

SAFETY:

• 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.

EMC:

• 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 wire close to the
instrument if EMC problems persist.

MOUNTING

Panel Mounting Instruction:

1. Using the dimensions from the panel cutout diagram

shown above, cut an opening in the panel.

2. Remove sleeve from the rear of the case by removing
thumbnuts.

3. Insert the unit into the opening from the front of the panel,
so the gasket seals between the bezel and the front of the
panel.

4. Slip the sleeve over the rear of the case.

5. Tighten the thumbnuts to hold the unit firmly in the panel.

menu item. The user can navigate through all the
top level menus by pressing a.

• While a parameter is being modified, press ato
escape without saving the parameter.

• Press the up bbutton to scroll through “flashing”
selections. When a numerical value is displayed
press this key to increase value of a parameter
that is currently being modified.

• Holding the bbutton down for approximately
3 seconds will speed up the rate at which the
setpoint value is incremented.

• In the Run Mode pressing bcauses the display
to flash the PEAK or GROSS value – press again
to return to the Run Mode.

• Press the down cbutton to go back to a previous
Top Level Menu item.

• Press this button twice to reset the controller to
the Run Mode.

• When a numerical value is flashing (except
setpoint value) press cto scroll digits from left to
right allowing the user to select the desired digit to
modify.

• When a setpoint value is displayed press cto
decrease value of a setpoint that is currently being
modified. Holding the cbutton down for
approximately 3 seconds will speed up the rate at
which the setpoint value is decremented.

• In the Run Mode pressing ccauses the display
to flash TARE value to tare your reading (zeroing).

• Press the enter dbutton to access the submenus
from a Top Level Menu item.

• Press dto store a submenu selection or after
entering a value — the display will flash a

STRD

message to confirm your selection.

• To reset flashing PEAK or GROSS press d.
