FREE MeterView Pro Programming Software

The meter can be powered from the USB connection. When using the USB connection, DO NOT apply AC or DC power to the meter.

The easiest and quickest way to program your Helios meter is to use the FREE MeterView Pro programming software. This software is loaded into the meter and connects and installs directly to your PC with a USB cable. We recommend that the first thing you do after taking the meter out of the box is connect the Helios to your PC with the provided USB cable – do not use a different cable. DO NOT apply AC or DC power to the meter while your PC is connected to the meter as it will disrupt the USB

connection. You don’t even have to apply an input

signal. MeterView Pro programming software is intuitive, and

most customers can get their meter programmed as they like without even looking in the manual.

Watch MeterView Pro Software Video at

www.predig.com/meterviewpro

In addition to programming, the software may be used for:

• Monitoring

• Datalogging using your PC

• Generating and saving programming files for

later use

Once your meter is programmed the way you want it, you can wire it up for your application per the instructions in this manual and install it. If you find that you need to make adjustments to the programming after the meter is installed, you can use the programming buttons and the instructions in this manual to do so.

Helios PD2-7000 Temperature Meter

Instruction Manual

Introduction

The Helios PD2-7000 is a multi-purpose, easy to use, large-display digital temperature meter. It features large 1.8 inch superluminous LED digits, which can be read in direct sunlight from up to 100 feet (30 meters) away. It is housed in a water-resistant, field mountable NEMA 4X/IP65 rated enclosure for convenient indoor and outdoor installation.

The programming buttons are located behind the lower panel door and are not generally accessible during operation. For that reason, we recommend the use of the PDA2364-MRUE remote control station which has four buttons to mimic the buttons behind the panel.

The meter accepts type J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N, and C

thermocouples as well as 100 or 1000 Ω platinum,

10 Ω copper, and 120 Ω nickel RTDs. Three of the

programming buttons can be set for custom operation. The meter features automatic cold junction compensation for thermo-couples and can average up to 10 RTD sensors for precision temperature measurement.

The PD2-7000 can be equipped with an optional 4-20 mA output that turns a temperature meter into an isolated temperature transmitter with a big, bright display!

The PD2-7000 includes automatic cold junction compensation for thermocouples and the ability to average up to ten RTD sensors.

A fully loaded Helios PD2-7000 temperature meter comes with four SPDT relays, a 4 20 mA output, two 24 VDC power supplies, five digital inputs and four digital outputs, and RS-485 serial communications.

The four relays can be used for alarm indication or temperature control applications. The large display size, ease of readability, Modbus RTU serial communications, and digital I/O features make the Helios an excellent addition to any system.

Relay Connections

Relay connections are made to two six-terminal connectors labeled RELAY1 – RELAY4. Each relay’s C terminal is common only to the normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts of the

corresponding relay. The relays’ C terminals should

not be confused with the COM (common) terminal of the INPUT SIGNAL connector.

Figure 16. Relay Connections

Switching Inductive Loads

The use of snubbers to suppress electrical noise is strongly recommended when switching inductive

loads to prevent disrupting the microprocessor’s

operation. The snubbers also prolong the life of the relay contacts. Suppression can be obtained with resistor-capacitor (RC) networks assembled by the user or purchased as complete assemblies. Refer to the following circuits for RC network assembly and installation:

Figure 17. AC and DC Loads Protection

Choose R and C as follows: R: 0.5 to 1 Ω for each volt across the contacts C: 0.5 to 1 µF for each amp through closed contacts

Notes:

1. Use capacitors rated for 250 VAC.

2. RC networks may affect load release time of solenoid loads. Check to confirm proper operation.

3. Install the RC network at the meter's relay screw terminals. An RC network may also be installed across the load. Experiment for best results.

Use a diode with a reverse breakdown voltage two to three times the circuit voltage and forward current at least as large as the load current.

Figure 18. Low Voltage DC Loads Protection

RC Networks (Snubbers) Available from Precision Digital

RC networks are available from Precision Digital and should be applied to each relay contact switching an inductive load. Part number: PDX6901.

Note: Relays are de-rated to 1/14th HP (50 watts) with an inductive load.

Interlock Relay Feature

As the name implies, the interlock relay feature reassigns one, or more, alarm/control relays for use as interlock relay(s). Interlock contact(s) are wired to digital input(s) and activate the interlock relay. This feature is enabled by configuring the relay, and the corresponding digital input(s), see Setting Up the Interlock Relay (Force On) Feature on page 32.

In the example below, an Interlock Contact switch is connected to a digital input, which will be used to force on (energize) the Interlock Relay. The Interlock Relay and the Control Relay are connected in series with the load.

• When the Interlock Contact is closed (safe), the Interlock Relay energizes, allowing power to flow to the Control Relay; the corresponding front panel LED is on.

• When the Interlock Contact is open, the corresponding front panel LED flashes (locked out), the Interlock Relay is de-energized, preventing power from flowing to the Control Relay and the load.

Instruction Manual

Programming Set and Reset Points

High alarm indication: program set point above reset point.

Low alarm indication: program set point below reset point.

The deadband is determined by the difference between set and reset points. Minimum deadband is one display count. If the set and reset points are programmed with the same value, the relay will reset one count below the set point.

Note: Changes are not saved until the reset point has been accepted.

Setting Fail-Safe Operation

In fail-safe mode of operation, the relay coil is energized when the process variable is within safe limits and the relay coil is de-energized when the alarm condition exists. The fail-safe operation is set independently for each relay. Select on to enable or select off to disable fail-safe operation.

Programming Time Delay

The On and Off time delays may be programmed for each relay between 0 and 999.9 seconds. The relays will transfer only after the condition has been maintained for the corresponding time delay.

The On time delay is associated with the set point. The Off time delay is associated with the reset point.

Relay Action for Loss of Input (Input Break)

Each relay may be programmed to go to one of the following conditions when the meter detects the loss of the input signal:

1. Turn On (Go to alarm condition)

2. Turn Off (Go to non-alarm condition)

3. Ignore (Processed as an upscale condition)

Relay and Alarm Operation Diagrams

The following graphs illustrate the operation of the relays, status LEDs, and ACK button.

High Alarm Operation (Set > Reset)

For Manual reset mode, ACK can be pressed anytime to turn "off" relay. To detect a new alarm condition, the signal must go below the set point, and then go above it.

Low Alarm Operation (Set < Reset)

For Manual reset mode, ACK can be pressed anytime to turn "off" relay. For relay to turn back “on”, signal must go above set point and then go below it.

Page 29

Helios PD2-7000 Temperature Meter

Instruction Manual

High Alarm with Fail-Safe Operation (Set > Reset)

Note: Relay coil is energized in non-alarm condition. In case of power failure, relay will go to alarm state.

Low Alarm with Fail-Safe Operation (Set < Reset)

Note: Relay coil is energized in non-alarm condition. In case of power failure, relay will go to alarm state.

Relay Sampling Operation

When the signal crosses the set point, the relay trips and the sample time starts. After the sample time has elapsed, the relay resets. The cycle repeats every time the set point is crossed, going up for high alarms and going down for low alarms.

The sample time can be programmed between 0.1 and 5999.9 seconds.

Signal Loss or Input Break Relay Operation

The following graph shows the input break relay operation for a high alarm relay.

When the meter detects a break in the input, the relay will go to one of the following selected actions:

1. Turn On (Go to alarm condition)

2. Turn Off (Go to non-alarm condition)

3. Ignore (Processed as an upscale condition)

Page 30

Helios PD2-7000 Temperature Meter

Instruction Manual

Time Delay Operation

The following graphs show the operation of the time delay function.

When the signal crosses the set point, the On time delay timer starts and the relay trips when the time delay has elapsed. If the signal drops below the set point (high alarm) before the time delay has elapsed, the On time delay timer resets and the relay does not change state. The same principle applies to the Off time delay.

Note: If “Automatic or Manual (A-nmAn)” reset mode is

selected, the LED follows the reset point and not the relay state when the relay is acknowledged.

Relay Operation Details

Overview

The four-relays option for the meter expands its usefulness beyond simple indication to provide users with alarm and control functions. Typical applications include high or low temperature alarms, control applications such as simple on/off temperature control. There are four basic ways the relays can be used:

1. High and Low Alarms with Latching or NonLatching Relays

2. Simple On/Off Control with 100% Adjustable Deadband

3. Sampling (Based on Time)

4. Relay Alternation Control

Relays Auto Initialization

When power is applied to the meter, the front panel LEDs and alarm relays will reflect the state of the input to the meter. The following table indicates how the alarm LEDs and relays will react on power-up based on the set and reset points:

Front Panel LEDs

The alarm status LEDs on the front panel are available on all meters, even those without relays installed, and provide status indication for the following:

LED

Status

Alarm 1

Alarm 2

Alarm 3

Alarm 4

The meter is supplied with four alarm points that include front panel LEDs to indicate alarm conditions. This standard feature is particularly useful for alarm applications that require visual-only indication. The LEDs are controlled by the set and reset points programmed by the user. When the display reaches a set point for a high or low alarm, the corresponding alarm LED will turn on. When the display returns to the reset point the LED will go off. The front panel LEDs respond differently for latching and non-latching relays.

For non-latching relays, the LED is always off during normal condition and always on during alarm condition, regardless of the state of the relay (e.g. Relay acknowledged after alarm condition).

For latching relays, the alarm LEDs reflect the status of the relays, regardless of the alarm condition. The following tables illustrate how the alarm LEDs function in relation to the relays and the acknowledge button (Default: F3 key assigned to ACK).

Latching and Non-Latching Relay Operation

The relays can be set up for latching (manual reset) or non-latching (automatic reset) operation.

The On and Off terminology does not refer to the status of the relay’s coil, which depends on the failsafe mode selected.

• In latching relay mode, if Fail-Safe is off, latched relays will reset (unlatch) when power is cycled.

Non-Latching Relay (Auto)

In this application, the meter is set up for automatic reset (non-latching relay). Acknowledging the alarm while it is still present has no effect on either the LED or the relay. When the alarm finally goes away, the relay automatically resets and the LED also goes off.

Latching Relay with Clear (Lt-Clr)

In this application, the meter is set up for manual reset only after the signal passes the reset point (alarm condition has cleared). Acknowledging the alarm while it is still present has no effect on either the LED or the relay. When the alarm is acknowledged after it returns to the normal state, the LED and the relay go off. Notice that the LED remains on, even after the meter returns to the normal condition. This is because, for latching relays, the alarm LED reflects the status of the relay, regardless of the alarm condition.

Acknowledging Relays

There are three ways to acknowledge relays programmed for manual reset:

1. Via the programmable front panel function keys F1-F3 (Example: F3 assigned to ACK).

2. Remotely via a normally open pushbutton wired to the F4 terminal.

3. Remotely via a normally open push button wired to one of the digital inputs and the +5 V terminal on the digital I/O connections.

When the ACK button or the assigned digital input is closed, all relays programmed for manual reset are acknowledged.

Acknowledging Relays with Remote Control Station

Relays may be remotely acknowledged by connecting the PDA2361-A to either the F4 terminal or a digital input as described above.

Setting Up the Interlock Relay (Force On) Feature

Relays 1-4 can be set up as interlock relays. To set up the relays for the interlock feature:

1. Access the Setup – Relay – Action menu and set the action to off.

2. In the Advanced features – User menu program

any of the digital inputs to Force On any of the internal relays (1-4).

3. Connect a switch or dry contact between the +5V

terminal and the corresponding digital input (dI-1 to dI-4) terminal.

Interlock Relay Operation Example

Relays 1 & 2 are configured to energize (their front panel LEDs are steady on) when SW1 & SW2 switches (above) are closed. If the contacts to these digital inputs are opened, the corresponding front panel LEDs flash indicating this condition. The processes being controlled by the interlock relay will stop, and will re-start only after the interlock relay is re-activated by the digital inputs (switches).

Note: If multiple digital inputs are assigned to the same relay, then the corresponding logic is (AND) – i.e. both switches must be closed to activate the relay.

• If the digital inputs are assigned to the Interlock Function, then they cannot be used to program

the meter remotely.

Offset Adjust (Adjust)

This parameter allows the user to select an offset adjustment to the temperature being displayed. Offset adjustment values can be either positive or negative and can be any number within 50.0F (+27.8C). The offset adjustment value is programmed through the Adjust menu.

The offset adjustment feature can be useful to compensate for errors due to thermocouple junctions or excessive lead wire resistance in RTDs.

Note: The offset adjustment value is reset to zero when the type of temperature sensor is changed (i.e. TC type or RTD curve). Celsius/Fahrenheit conversion is automatic.

Recalibration of the Meter (t CAL)

The Calibration (t CAL) menu is used to recalibrate the thermocouple and RTD inputs.

• There is no need to recalibrate the meter when first received from the factory. Simply select the input type, ºF or ºC, and decimal point.

• The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment to read temperature in degrees Fahrenheit with calibration equipment that is certified to NIST standards.

• Check calibration of the meter at least every 12 months.

Allow at least 30 minutes warm-up time before performing recalibration procedure to ensure specified accuracy.

Recommended Calibration Points

To recalibrate the meter, it is recommended to use the Fahrenheit scale; this will give a greater degree of accuracy to the calibration. The scale can be changed to the Celsius scale after calibration is completed. The meter will display temperature accurately in any scale. The following table shows the recommended low and high calibration points for all types.

Recalibration Procedure

1. Connect signal to the meter using the appropriate wire (e.g. type J thermocouple wire to recalibrate type J input). See

2. Signal Connections on page 16.

3. Set up the meter to accept the selected input (e.g. type J T/C). See Setting Up the Meter (setup) on page 25.

4. Set up the meter to display temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

5. Apply signal corresponding to input 1 (32°F) and program the display to read 32.0.

6. Apply signal corresponding to input 2 (1184°F for type J) and program the display accordingly.

7. After the meter accepts input 2, the display returns to reading mode. This completes the recalibration procedure for the selected input.

Noise Filter (filter)

The noise filter is available for unusually noisy signals that cause an unstable process variable display. The noise filter averages the input signal over a certain period. The filter level determines the length of time over which the signal is averaged. The filter level can be set between 2 and 199. The higher the filter level, the longer the averaging time and so the longer it takes the display to settle to its final value. Setting the filter level to zero disables the filter function.

Page 38

Helios PD2-7000 Temperature Meter

Instruction Manual

Noise Filter Bypass (bypass)

The noise filter bypass changes the behavior of the meter so that small variations in the signal are filtered out but large abrupt changes in the input signal are displayed immediately. The bypass value determines the minimum amount of signal change to be displayed immediately. All signal changes smaller than the bypass value are filtered or averaged by the meter. The noise filter bypass may be set between 0.1 and

99.9% of full scale.

Rounding Feature (round)

The rounding feature is used to give the user a steadier display with fluctuating signals. Rounding is used in addition to the filter function.

Rounding causes the display to round to the nearest value according to the rounding selected. Valid settings for this meter are 1, 2, 5, and 10 (only).

Modbus RTU Serial Communications (serial)

The meter is equipped with serial communications capability as a standard feature using the Modbus RTU Serial Communication Protocol.

The meter may be connected to a PC for initial configuration via the onboard USB connection. For ongoing digital communications with a computer or other data terminal equipment, use the RS-485 connection with the appropriate serial converter; see Ordering Information on page 6 for details.

• DO NOT connect any equipment to the RJ45 M-LINK connector. Otherwise damage will occur to the equipment and the meter.

• DO NOT disconnect the RJ45 connector located to the left of the power terminal block. Doing so will disable the on-board digital I/O, and the RS-485 serial communications.

Notes:

1. More detailed instructions are provided with each optional serial communications adapter.

2. Refer to the Helios Modbus Register Tables located at www.predig.com for details.

When using more than one meter in a multi-drop mode, each meter must be have its own unique Slave ID or meter address. The ID or address may be programmed between 1 and 247. The transmit delay may be set between 0 and 199 ms. The parity can be set to even, odd, or none with 1 or 2 stop bits.

Select Menu (SElect)

The Select menu is used to program the analog output parameters. There are no other selections for this model.

Instruction Manual

Analog Output Programming (AoutPr)

The Analog Output Programming menu is used to program the behavior of the 4-20 mA output. The following parameters and functions are programmed in this menu:

1. Source: Source for generating the 4-20 mA output (e.g. PV - temperature)

2. Overrange: Analog output value with display in overrange condition

3. Underrange: Analog output value with display in underrange condition

4. Break: Analog output value when input break is detected

5. Max: Maximum analog output value allowed regardless of input

6. Min: Minimum analog output value allowed regardless of input

7. Calibrate: Calibrate the internal 4-20 mA source reference used to scale the 4-20 mA output

Analog Output Source

The source for generating the 4-20 mA output may be assigned to the process variable, maximum or minimum value reached by the process, one of the set points, or the Modbus PV input.

Analog Output Calibration

To perform the analog output calibration, it is recommended to use a milliamp meter with a resolution of at least 0.1 µA to measure the output current. The values saved internally during this procedure are used for scaling the 4-20 mA output in the Setup menu.

Analog Output Calibration Procedure

Instruction Manual

Programmable Function Keys User Menu (user)

The User menu allows the user to assign the front programming buttons function keys F1, F2, and F3, the digital input F4 (located on the input signal connector), and four digital inputs (located on the digital I/O connector) to access most of the menus or to activate certain functions immediately (e.g. reset max & min, hold relay states, etc.). This allows the meter to be greatly customized for use in specialized applications.

The four digital outputs can be assigned to a number of actions and functions executed by the meter (i.e. alarms, relay acknowledgement, reset max, min, or max & min, tare, and reset tare). The digital outputs can be used to trigger external alarms or lights to indicate these specific events.

Internal Temperature Calibration (ICAL)

The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment to read temperature in degrees Fahrenheit with calibration equipment that is certified to NIST standards.

The Internal Calibration (ICAL) is a function used at the factory to calibrate all the thermocouple and RTD ranges. This procedure should only be used by qualified personnel.

To recalibrate the meter for a specific input and range, refer to Recalibration of the Meter (t CAL) on page 37.

Notes:

1. If meter is in operation and it is intended to accept only one input type (e.g. 100 Pt), recalibration of other inputs is not necessary.

2. Allow the meter to warm up for at least 30 minutes before performing the calibration procedure.

3. Use the Recalibration of the Meter (t CAL) procedure on page 37.

The Internal calibration menu is part of the Advanced Features menu and is described in the following

pages. This procedure should only be used by qualified personnel.

Note: Most users should not require the use of the

Internal Calibration procedure. The T CAL procedure should be used instead of the ICAL procedure.

Thermocouple Input Internal Calibration (ICAL)

1. Set the Type selector switch in the TC position and using copper wire connect a precision mV calibrator to the input.

2. In the Setup menu select the input: TC – Type J.

3. Press and hold the Menu button for three seconds to access the advanced features of the meter.

4. Press the Up arrow button to scroll to the Internal calibration menu (ICAL) and press Enter.

5. The meter displays either current calibration (nmref). Press Enter to start the calibration process.

6. Measure the room temperature in degrees Celsius using a reliable reference, enter the room temperature (e.g. 25.0), and press Enter.
