Note:
Testing was conducted on PD603 meters installed through the covers of grounded metal enclosures with cable shields grounded at
the point of entry representing installations designed to optimize
EMC performance.
SAFETY INFORMATION
!
CAUTION: Read complete
instructions prior to installation and operation of the
meter.
WARNING
Hazardous voltages exi
should be performed only by trained service personnel.
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 the case and remove).
• 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 scre ws
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.

Connections
All connections are made to removable screw terminal connectors
located at the rear of the meter.
Use copper wire with 60°C or 60/75°C insulat ion
for all line voltage connections. Observe all safety
regulations. Electrical wiring should be performed
in accordance with all applicable national, state,
and local codes to prevent damage to the meter
and ensure personnel safety.

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.

SETUP AND PROGRAMMING
• There is no need to recalibrate the meter
when first received from the factory.
•The meter is factory calibrated prior to ship-
ment, for all input types, in milliamps and
volts. The calibration equipment is certified to
NIST standards.
Overview
There are no jumpers involved in the setup process of the meter. The
switch, located between the SIGNAL and the RJ11 connectors is not
used with the PD603 model. Setup and programming is done through
the front panel buttons.
After power and signal connections have been completed and verified,
apply power to the meter.

Programming the Meter (
It is very important to read the following information, before proceeding
to program the meter:
• There is no need to recalibrate the meter when first received from
the factory.
•The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment, for all input
types, in milliamps and volts. The calibration equipment is certified
to NIST standards.
• Use the Scale menu to scale process inputs (e.g. 4-20 mA). A cali-
brated signal source is not needed to scale the meter.
The Program menu contains the Calibrate and the Scale menus.
Process inputs may be calibrated or scaled to any displ ay within the

Calibrating the Meter (
To scale the meter without a signal
source refer to Scaling the Meter
The meter can be calibrated to display the process in engin eering units
by applying the appropriate input signal and following the calibration
procedure.
The use of a calibrated signal source is strongly recommen ded to calibrate the meter.
Sabre P Model PD603 Process Meter Instruction Manual
OPERATION
For process inputs, the meter is capable of accepting positive and negative signals and displaying these signals in engine ering units from -1999
to 9999 (e.g. a signal from -10 to +10 VDC could be displayed as -5000
to 5000).
