INTRODUCTION
The PROVU® PD6000 is a multipurpose, easy to use digital process meter ideal for
level, flow rate, temperature, or pressure transmitter applications. It accepts current
and voltage signals (e.g. 4-20 mA, 0-10 V). Three of the front panel buttons can be
custom-programmed for a specific operation. The analog input can be scaled to display the process in two different scales; for example the main display could indicate
level in feet and the second display could indicate the volume in gallons.
The basic model includes an isolated 24 VDC transmitter power supply that can be
used to power the input transmitter or other devices. An additional isolated 24 VDC
power supply is included with the 4-20 mA output option.
A fully loaded PD6000 meter has the following: four SPDT relays, 4-20 mA output, and
two 24 VDC power supplies. The PD6000 capabilities may be enhanced by adding the
following external expansion modules: four SPST relays –creating an eight-relay process
meter–, two digital I/O modules with four inputs and four outputs each, and RS-232 or
RS-485 communication adapters.
The eight relays can be used for alarm indication or process control applications, such as
pump alternation control. The 4-20 mA isolated output, Modbus RTU serial communications, and digital I/O options make the PD6000 an excellent addition to any system.

INSTALLATION
There is no need to remove the meter from its case to complete the installation, wiring, and setup of the meter for most applications.
Instructions are provided for setting up a 12/24 VDC powered meter to
operate from 12 VDC and for changing the transmitter power supply to
output 5 or 10 VDC instead of 24 VDC, see page 16.
Unpacking
Remove the meter from box. Inspect the packaging and contents for
damage. Report damages, if any, to the carrier.
If any part is missing or the meter malfunctions, please contact your
supplier or the factory for assistance.
Panel Mounting Instructions
Prepare a standard 1/8 DIN panel cutout – 3.622" x 1.772" (92 mm x
45 mm). Refer to Figure 1 below, for more details.
Clearance: allow at least 6.0" (152 mm) behind the panel for wiring.
Panel thickness: 0.04" - 0.25" (1.0 mm - 6.4 mm).
Recommended minimum panel thickness to maintain Type 4X
rating: 0.06" (1.5 mm) steel panel, 0.16" (4.1 mm) plastic panel.
Remove the two mounting brackets provided with the meter (back-off the two
screws so that there is ¼" (6.4 mm) or less through the bracket. Slide the
bracket toward the front of th e case and re move) .
Insert meter into the panel cutout.
Install mounting brackets and tighten the screws against the panel. To
achieve a proper seal, tighten the mounting bracket screws evenly until meter is snug to the panel along its short side. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, as
the rear of the panel may be damaged.

Do not exceed voltage rating of the selected configuration.
Meters equipped with the 12/24 VDC power option are shipped
from the factory ready to operate from 24 VDC.
To configure the meter for 12 VDC power:
1. Remove all the connectors.
2. Unscrew the back cover.
3. Slide the back cover about 1 inch.
4. Configure the J9 jumper, located behind the power connector, for 12 V as shown below.

All meters, including models equipped with the 12/24 VDC power
option, are shipped from the factory configured to provide 24 VDC
power for the transmitter or sensor.
If the transmitter requires 5 or 10 VDC excitation, the internal jumper J4 must be configured accordingly.
To access the voltage selection jumper:
1. Remove all the wiring connectors.
2. Unscrew the back cover.
3. Slide out the back cover by about 1 inch.
4. Configure the J4 jumper, located behind the input signal
connector, for the desired excitation voltage as shown.

The current input is protected against current overload by a resettable
fuse. The display may or may not show a fault condition depending on
the nature of the overload.
The fuse limits the current to a safe level when it detects a fault condition, and automatically resets itself when the fault condition is removed.

Modbus RTU Serial Communications
Serial communications connection is made to an RJ45 connector labeled M-LINK on Figure 5. Use the PDA1232 for RS-232 interfacing or
the PDA1485 for RS-422/485 interfacing. The same port is used for
interfacing with all expansion modules (e.g. external relays, digital I/O).
Use the PDA1200 meter copy cable for meter-to-meter interfacing for
cloning purposes (i.e. copying settings from one meter to other meters).
Relay Connections
Relay connections are made to two six-terminal connectors labele d
RELAY1 – RELAY4 on Figure 5. 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

Switching Inductive Loads
The use of suppressors (snubbers) is strongly recommended when switching
inductive loads to prevent disrupting the microprocessor’s operation. The suppressors 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:
C
C
R
R
Figure 11. 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 12. Low Voltage DC Loads Protection
RC Networks 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.
Relays are de-rated to 1/14th HP (50 watts) with an inductive load.

is capable of sourcing up to 40 mA.

External Relays & Digital I/O Connections
The relay and the digital I/O expansion modu les PDA1004 & PDA1044
are connected to the meter using a CAT5 cable provided with each
module. The two RJ45 connectors on the expansion modules are identical and interchangeable; they are used to connect additional modules
to the system.
Note: The jumper located between the RJ45 connectors of the
PDA1044 must be removed on the second digital I/O module in
order for the system to recognize it as module #2.
Do not connect or disconnect the expansion modules with
the power on!

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 trigger the interlock relay. This f eature is
enabled by configuring the relay, and relative digital input(s) (see page
62). In one example, dry interlock contacts are connected in series to
one digital input which will be used to force on (energize) the assigned
interlock power relay when all interlock contacts are closed (safe). The
interlock relay front panel LED flashes when locked o ut. The interlock
relay would be wired in-series with the load (N/O contact). See below.

SETUP AND PROGRAMMING
The meter is factory calibrated prior to
shipment to read in milliamps and volts
depending on the input selection. The
calibration equipment is certified to NIST
standards.
Overview
There are no jumpers to set for the meter input selection.
Setup and programming is done through the front panel buttons.
After power and input signal connections have been completed and
verified, apply power to the meter.
