Opening the front cover reduces the security level. While front
cover is open :
• the isolation between accessible parts and power supply is
reduced from ‘reinforced’ to ‘basic’.

10. Operate the conguration system
CONFIGURATION SYSTEM
The Series PCE-SCI of isolated signal converters provide a fast and
easy conguration system, based on function codes.
‘CONFIGURATION DIGITS’
The instrument provides two numerical leds, to inform about the actual
state of the instrument, active input and output signal ranges, and error
codes (see section 11).
CONFIGURATION KEYPAD
The conguration keypad is located inside the instrument, behind the
removable front cover. To access the conguration keypad, remove
the input signal terminal, and open the front cover (see section 9). The
instrument allows to password lock the keypad functions, by activating
an access code (‘password’ function) (see section 10.4).
10.1. ‘Normal mode’ of operation
‘NORMAL MODE’
When the power supply is connected, the instrument:
• activates the ‘conguration digits’, and displays the code for the actual
conguration (see section 5)
• the instrument is in ‘normal mode’ of operation
HOW TO ACCESS THE ‘CONFIGURATION MODE’ AND THE ‘TOOLS’ MENU
With the instrument in ‘normal mode’ of operation, there is access to the
‘conguration mode’ and the ‘tools’ menu.
• to access the ‘conguration mode’, press the ‘SQ’ (<) key for 1 second
(see section 10.2)
• to access the ‘tools’ menu, press the ‘UP’ (5) key for 1 second (see
section 10.3)
‘ECO’ FUNCTION (‘CONFIGURATION DIGITS’ ARE AUTOMATICALLY
POWERED OFF)
If there is no interaction from the operator for 60 seconds, the instrument
powers off the ‘conguration digits’. The decimal point remains active
(ashing), indicating that the instrument is working correctly.
10.2. ‘Conguration mode’
HOW TO ACCESS THE ‘CONFIGURATION MODE’
With the instrument in ‘normal mode’ of operation (see section 10.1),
press for 1 second the ‘SQ’ (<) key. The horizontal leds light from
bottom to top. When the upper led lights, the instrument activates the
‘conguration mode’.
If the key is released before activating the ‘conguration mode’,
the horizontal leds light downwards from top to bottom, and
the instrument returns to ‘normal mode’ of operation.
Inside the ‘conguration mode’ the decimal point is not active.
Inside the ‘conguration mode’, the ‘conguration digits’ display the code of the active conguration (see section 5). Press the ‘UP’ (5) key to
increase the code.
• press once to increase the value in +1
• maintain the key pressed to automatically increase the value
When the desired code is reached, press the ‘SQ’ (<) key. The leds light
a round shape while new conguration is stored, and the instrument
returns to ‘normal mode’ of operation.
When exiting the ‘conguration mode’ without changes (‘rollback’
activation, selection of inactive codes, etc), the horizontal leds
light down from top to bottom, and the instrument returns to
‘normal mode’ of operation.
‘ROLLBACK’ FUNCTION
If there is no interaction from the operator for 60 seconds, the instrument
exits the ‘conguration mode’ and returns to ‘normal mode’ of operation,
discarding changes.
HOW TO POWER ON THE ‘CONFIGURATION DIGITS’
To power on the ‘conguration digits’, press one of the front keys ‘SQ’
(<) or ‘UP’ (5). This will power on the ‘conguration digits’, and activate
the ‘normal mode’ of operation.
With the instrument in ‘normal mode’ of operation (see section 10.1),
press for 1 second the ‘UP’ (5) key. The horizontal leds light from
bottom to top. When the upper led lights, the instrument activates the
‘tools’ menu.
If the key is released before activating the ‘tools’ menu, the
horizontal leds light downwards from top to bottom, and the
instrument returns to ‘normal mode’ of operation.
Inside the ‘tools’ menu, the decimal point is not active.
Inside the ‘tools’ menu, the ‘conguration digits’ indicate the rst function
available.
• press the ‘UP’ (5) key to move to the next function.
• press the ‘SQ’ (<) key to activate the selected function.
To exit the ‘tools’ menu, press the ‘UP’ (5) key until the parameter ‘--’
appears, and press the ‘SQ’ (<) key (or wait 60 seconds without pressing
any key to wait for the automatic ‘rollback’).
When exiting the ‘tools’ menu, the horizontal leds light down
from top to bottom, and the instrument returns to ‘normal
mode’ of operation.
‘ROLLBACK’ FUNCTION
If there is no interaction from the operator for 60 seconds, the instrument
exits the ‘tools’ menu and returns to ‘normal mode’ of operation.
10.4. Conguration block (‘password’)
HOW TO BLOCK ACCESS TO ‘CONFIGURATION MODE’ (‘PASSWORD’)
Dene a ‘password’ code to prevent access to ‘conguration mode’ and
to ‘tools’ menu to unauthorized operators. The ‘password’ code will be
requested when trying to access the ‘conguration mode’ or the ‘tools’
menu.
To activate a ‘password’ select code ‘15’ inside the ‘conguration mode’.
The step-by-step process is indicated below:
• access the ‘conguration mode’ (see section 10.2)
• access code ‘15’
• press the ‘SQ’ (<) key to select
• the ‘conguration digits’ indicate code ‘00’ ashing
• press the ‘UP’ (5) key to select the desired code (for example ‘73’)
• press the ‘SQ’ (<) key to validate or wait for the automatic ‘rollback’
(60 seconds) to exit without changes
• the menu returns ‘normal mode’ (see section 10.1)
Once the ‘password’ code is applied, when a key is pressed, the
‘conguration digits’ indicate code ‘00’ ashing. Enter the ‘password’
code to unlock access (code ‘73’ in the previous example).
HOW TO DEACTIVATE THE ‘PASSWORD’
To deactivate the ‘password’, access again to code ‘15’ and select value
‘00’. Press ‘SQ’ (<) key to conrm.
AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
The ‘Force low’ (FL) and ‘Force high’ (Fh) functions allow to temporarily
force the output signals to the low and high levels of the actual output
signal ranges selected. These tools allow to easily validate the correct
function of the remote elements connected to the instrument outputs.
• select ‘Force low’ (FL) function to set both output signals to the
minimum value of the selected ranges (4 mA or 0 Vdc). The ‘FL’
ash message indicates that the function is active. Press any key to
deactivate and return to the ‘Force low’ (FL) menu entry.
• select ‘Force high’ (Fh) function to set both output signal to the
maximum value of the selected range (20 mA or 10 Vdc). The ‘Fh’
ash message indicates that the function is active. Press any key to
deactivate and return to the ‘Force high’ (Fh) menu entry.

11. Error codes
In case of error, the error code is shown ashing on the ‘conguration
digits’. The error code is not visible inside ‘conguration mode’ or inside
the ‘tools’ menu.
The error code remains active on display until the problem that caused
the error is solved. In case of multiple error codes, solve the rst problem
to see the next active error code.

Risk of electrical shock. Instrument terminals can be
connected to dangerous voltage.
Instrument protected with double isolation. No earth
connection required.
Instrument conforms to CE rules and regulations.
This instrument has been designed and veried conforming to the
61010-1 CE Security Regulation, for industrial applications. Installation
of this instrument must be performed by qualied personnel only. This
manual contains the appropriate information for the installation. Using
the instrument in ways not specied by the manufacturer may lead to a
reduction of the specied protection level. Disconnect the instrument
from all external circuits before starting any maintenance and / or
installation action.
The instrument does not have a general switch and will start operation
as soon as power is connected. The instrument does not have protection
fuse, the fuse must be added during installation.
The instrument is designed to be DIN rail mounted, inside a cabinet,
protected from direct impacts. An appropriate ventilation of the
instrument must be assured. Do not expose the instrument to excess of
humidity. Maintain clean by using a humid rag and do NOT use abrasive
products such as alcohols, solvents, etc. General recommendations for
electrical installations apply, and for proper functionality we recommend
: if possible, install the instrument far from electrical noise or magnetic
eld generators such as power relays, electrical motors, speed variators,
... If possible, do not install along the same conduits power cables
(power, motor controllers, electrovalves, ...) together with signal and/
or control cables. Before proceeding to the power connection, verify
that the voltage level available matches the power levels indicated in
the label on the instrument. In case of re, disconnect the instrument
from the power line, re alarm according to local rules, disconnect the air
conditioning, attack re with carbonic snow, never with water.
Conformity with security regulations EN-61010-1 requires that
the front cover is closed. The input terminal prevents the front
cover from opening.
