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 PROVU
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 PROVU 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 front
panel buttons and the instructions in this manual to do
so.

PROVU™ PD6262 Dual Analog Input Rate/Totalizer
Instruction Manual

Introduction
The PROVU PD6262 is a multipurpose, easy to use
digital dual analog input rate/totalizer ideal for flow
rate, total, and flow control applications. Its
superluminous LED digits make it easily readable in
smoke, dust, fog, and, with the optional SunBright
display, even direct sunlight.
It accepts two current or voltage signals (e.g.
4-20 mA, 0-10 V). Various math functions may be
applied to the rate, total, or grand totals of the two
channels; including addition, difference, average,
minimum, maximum, draw, ratio and more. This is in
addition to the input signal conditioners; linear, square
root, or programmable exponent.
The displays, relays, and the analog output may be
assigned to the rate, total, or grand total of input
channels A or B; or math result channel C. Three of
the front panel buttons can be custom-programmed
for a specific operation.
The basic model includes an isolated 24 VDC
transmitter power supply that can be used to power
the input transmitters or other devices. An additional
isolated 24 VDC power supply is included with the
4-20 mA output option. A digital input is standard.
A fully loaded PD6262 meter has the following: four
SPDT relays, 4-20 mA output, and two 24 VDC power
supplies. The PD6262 capabilities may be enhanced
by adding the following external expansion modules:
four SPST relays –creating an eight-relay dual-input
process meter, two digital I/O modules with four inputs
and four outputs each, serial communication adapters
for use with MeterView Pro or Modbus RTU, and a dual
isolated 4-20 mA output expansion module.

the meter.
8. Install the meter and put into service.
9. Make any programming adjustments using the
front panel buttons.
MeterView Pro Software
The easiest and quickest way to program your PROVU
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 the USB cable provided. DO NOT use a
different USB cable. We recommend that the first
thing you do after taking the meter out of the box is
connect the PROVU to your PC with the provided USB
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. It is not necessary 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.

Power Connections
Power connections are made to a two-terminal
connector labeled POWER. The meter will operate
regardless of DC polarity connection. The + and symbols are only a suggested wiring convention. There
are separate models for low voltage and high voltage
power. See Ordering Information on page 6 for
details.
Figure 12. Power Connections
Signal Connections
Signal connections are made to a nine-terminal
connector labeled SIGNAL. The COM (common)
terminals are the return for the 4-20 mA and the 10
V input signals. The two COM terminals connect to
the same common return, and are not isolated.
Current (mA) Connections
The following figures show examples of current
connections.
There are no switches or jumpers to set up for current
inputs. Setup and programming is performed through
the front panel buttons or MeterView Pro software.
Figure 13. Transmitters Powered by Internal
Supply
Figure 14. Transmitters Powered by Ext. Supply or
Self-Powered
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.
Voltage (V) Connections
The following figures show examples of voltage
connections.
There are no switches or jumpers to set up for voltage
inputs. Setup and programming is performed through
the front panel buttons or MeterView Pro software.
Figure 15. Voltage Input Connections
The meter is capable of accepting any voltage from 10 VDC to +10 VDC.
Modbus RTU Serial Communications
Serial communications connection is made to an
RJ45 connector labeled M-LINK. For interfacing to the
PROVU®, use the PDA1232 for RS-232 or the
PDA1485 for RS-485. The same port is used for
interfacing with all expansion modules (e.g. external
relays, additional 4-20 mA outputs, digital I/O).
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.

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 resistorcapacitor (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 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.
F4 Digital Input Connections
A digital input, F4, is standard on the meter. This
digital input connected with a normally open closure
across F4 and COM, or with an active low signal
applied to F4. It can be used for remote operation of
front-panel buttons, to acknowledge/reset relays,
reset totals, or to reset max/min values. See Function
Keys & Digital I/O Available Settings on page 50 for a
complete list of capabilities.

4-20 mA Output Connections
Connections for the 4-20 mA transmitter output are
made to the connector terminals labeled MA OUT.
The 4-20 mA output may be powered internally or
from an external power supply.

External Relay, Analog Output, & Digital I/O Connections
The relay, dual analog output, and digital I/O
expansion modules PDA1004, PDA1011, and
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! More detailed
instructions are provided with each optional
expansion module.

Remote Operation of Meter
The meter can be operated via the front panel push
buttons or a remote control station using the
PDA1044 Digital I/O module as illustrated in Figure
26. Meter to Control Station Connection.
Figure 26. Meter to Control Station Connections
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 39.
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.

Setting the Decimal Point (dEc pt)
The decimal point for any channel, rate, total, or
grand total, may be set with up to five decimal places
or with no decimal point at all.
Pressing the Right arrow moves the decimal point one
place to the right until no decimal point is displayed,
and then it moves to the leftmost position. Pressing
the Up arrow moves the decimal point one place to
the left.
There are seven decimal points to set up for three
channels: Ch-A rate, total, and grand total; Ch-B rate,
total, and grand total; and Ch-C.
After the decimal points are set up, the meter moves
to the Program menu.
Programming the Rate/Totalizer (prog)
The meter may either be scaled (SCALE) without
applying an input or calibrated (Cal) by applying an
input. The meter comes factory calibrated to NIST
standards, so for initial setup, it is recommended to
use the (SCALE) function.
The Program menu contains the following menus:
1. Scale channel A and B without a signal
source
2. Calibrate channel A and B with a calibrated
signal source
3. Channel A and B total time base &
conversion factors
4. Channel A and B grand total time base &
conversion factors
5. Channel A and B reset modes for total &
grand total
Note: The Scale and Calibrate functions are
exclusive of each other. The meter uses the last
function programmed. Only one of these methods
can be employed at a time. The Scale and Calibrate
functions can use up to 32 points (default is 2). The
number of points should be set in the Advanced
menu prior to scaling and calibration of the meter.
See Multi-Point Linearization (Linear) menu on page
46 for details.
The process inputs may be calibrated or scaled to any
display value within the range of the meter.
Additional parameters, not needed for most
applications, are found in the Advanced Features
menu; see Advanced Features Menu on page 42.

Input Calibration Method (InCAL)
There are two methods of calibrating (or scaling) the
display for each input channel to show the correct
engineering units.
• Use the Scale menu to enter the scaling without a
signal source.
• Use the Calibrate menu to apply a signal from a
signal source.
Note: The Scale and Calibrate functions are exclusive
of each other. The meter uses the last function
programmed. Only one of these methods can be
employed at a time. The Scale and Calibrate
functions can use up to 32 points (default is 2). The
number of points should be set in the Advanced menu
prior to scaling and calibration of the meter.
See Multi-Point Linearization (Linear) menu on page
46 for details.
Scaling the Meter without a Signal Source (SCAL-A, SCAL-B)
The process inputs (4-20 mA, 10 VDC) can be
scaled to display the process variables in engineering
units. A signal source is not needed to scale the
meter; simply program the inputs and corresponding
display values.
From the INCAL menu, select channel A or B,
followed by SCal-A or SCal-B, and then set the input
signal value and display value for each of the scaling
points (default is two).
Scaling the Meter for Channel A (SCal-A)
Scaling the Meter for Channel B (SCal-B)
For instructions on how to program numeric
values see Setting Numeric Values, page 25.
Error Message (Error)
An error message indicates that the calibration or
scaling process was not successful.
After the error message is displayed, the meter
reverts to input 2 during calibration or scaling and to
input 1 during internal calibration, allowing the
appropriate input signal to be applied or programmed.
The error message might be caused by any of the
following conditions:
1. Input signal is not connected to the proper
terminals or it is connected backwards.
2. Wrong signal selection in Setup menu.
3. Minimum input span requirements not
maintained.
4. Input 1 signal inadvertently applied to calibrate
input 2.
Minimum Input Span
The minimum input span is the minimum difference
between input 1 and input 2 signals required to complete
the calibration or scaling of the meter.

Calibrating the Meter with External Source
Note: To scale the meter without a signal source,
refer to Scaling the Meter without a Signal Source
(
SCAL-A, SCAL-B
) on page 29.
The meter can be calibrated to display the process
variables in engineering units by applying the
appropriate input signal and following the calibration
procedure.
The use of a calibrated signal source is strongly
recommended to calibrate the meter.
Warm up the meter for at least 15 minutes before
performing calibration to ensure specified
accuracy.

Total & Grand Total Setup (tsetup)
The time base and total conversion factor, and grand
total conversion factor for input channels A and B are
located in the Totalizer Setup menu.
The time base is based on the rate of flow. Total &
grand total conversion factors for channel A and B are
programmed independently. The total and grand total
have their own independent settings. This means that
one can be displaying the value in gallons while the
other displays in million gallons, liters, m3, etc.
Total & Grand Total Reset
Total reset menus are located in the Program menu.
The totals can be programmed for manual or
automatic reset. In the automatic reset mode, a
programmable time delay is available to reset the total
or grand total after the assigned preset is reached.
Password Protected and NonResettable Total
The total and grand total can be password-protected
to prevent unauthorized resets. The grand total can
be programmed as a non-resettable total, see Total
Reset Password & Non-Resettable Total on page 41
for details.

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 4-20 mA Input (Loop Break)
The loop break feature is associated with the 4-20 mA
input. Each relay may be programmed to go to one of
the following conditions when the meter detects the
loss of the input signal (i.e. < 0.005 mA):
1. Turn On (Go to alarm condition)
2. Turn Off (Go to non-alarm condition)
3. Ignore (Processed as a low signal condition)
Note: This is not a true loop break condition; if the
signal drops below 0.005 mA, it is interpreted as
a “loop break” condition.
The following graph shows the loop break relay
operation for a high alarm relay.

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. To
detect a new alarm condition, the signal must go below the set point, and then go
above it.
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.

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.
Total Relay Sampling Operation
When the total reaches the preset, the relay trips and
the sample time starts. After the sample time has
elapsed, the relay resets. The cycle repeats every
time the preset value is added to the total.

Relay Operation Details
Overview
The relay capabilities of the meter expand its
usefulness beyond simple indication to provide users
with alarm and control functions. These capabilities
include front panel alarm status LEDs as well as
either 2 or 4 optional internal relays and/or 4 external
relays expansion module. Typical applications include
high and low temperature, level, pressure or flow
alarms, control applications such as simple on/off
pump control, and pump alternation control for up to 8
pumps. 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. Pump Alternation Control for up to 8 Pumps
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:
Fail-Safe Operation

This refers to the condition of the relay contacts
when the power to the meter is off.
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:

Alarm 8
Note: LEDs 5-8 require the external relay module
PDA1004 to be connected.
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 responds differently for latching and nonlatching 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 reflects 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.

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.
Non-Latching Relay with Manual Reset (A-nman)
In this application, the meter is set up for automatic
and manual reset at any time (non-latching relay).
The LED and the relay automatically reset when the
meter returns to the normal condition.
In addition, the relay can be manually reset while the
alarm condition still exists, but the LED will stay on
until the meter returns to the normal condition.

Latching Relay with Clear (Lt-Clr)
In this application, the meter is set up for manual

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.

2. Remotely via a normally open push button wired
to the F4 terminal at the rear of the instrument.
3. One of the digital inputs and the +5 V terminals
on the digital I/O expansion module.
When the ACK button or the assigned digital input is
closed, all relays programmed for manual reset are
acknowledged.

Pump Alternation Control Applications (Altern)
For pump control applications where two or more
similar pumps are used to control the level of a tank
or a well, it is desirable to have all the pumps operate
alternately. This prevents excessive wear and
overheating of one pump over the lack of use of the
other pumps.
Up to 8 relays can be set up to alternate every time
an on/off pump cycle is completed. The set points and
reset points can be programmed, so that the first
pump on is the first pump off.
Application #1: Pump Alternation Using Relays 1 & 2
1. Relays 1 and 2 are set up for pump alternation.
2. Relays 3 and 4 are set up for low and high alarm
indication.

Pump Alternation Operation
1. Pump #1 turns on when level reaches 30.000,
when level drops below 10.000 pump #1 turns
off.
2. The next time level reaches 30.000, pump #2
turns on, when level drops below 10.000, pump
#2 turns off.
3. If the level doesn’t reach 35.000 pump #1 and
pump #2 will be operating alternately.
4. If pump #1 cannot keep the level below 35.000
pump #2 will turn on at 35.000, then as the level
drops to 10.000 pump #1 turns off, pump #2 is
still running and shuts off below 5.000.
5. Notice that with the set and reset points of pump
#2 outside the range of pump #1, the first pump
on is the first pump to go off. This is true for up to
8 alternating pumps, if setup accordingly.
6. Relay #3 will go into alarm if the level drops
below 4.000 and relay #4 will go into alarm if the
level exceeds 40.000.
7. Adding the 4 external relays expansion module
allows using the 4 SPDT internal relays for pump
alternation and the 4 SPST external relays for
high, high-high, low, and low-low alarm
indication.
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 trip the relay.

Scaling the 4-20 mA Analog Output (Aout)
The 4-20 mA analog outputs can be scaled to provide
a 4-20 mA signal for any display range selected. To
select the channel and source assignments the
analog outputs are assigned to, see Analog Output
Source on page 48.
No equipment is needed to scale the analog outputs;
simply program the display values to the
corresponding mA output signal.
The Analog Output menu is used to program the
4-20 mA outputs based on display values.
For instructions on how to program numeric values
see Setting Numeric Values, page 25.
Reset Menu (reset)
The Reset menu is used to reset the maximum (peak)
value of Ch-A and Ch-B rate (rst Hi), minimum
(valley) reading of Ch-A and Ch-B rate (rst Lo), both
high and low value of Ch-A and Ch-B rate (rst HL),
Ch-A total (tot A) or Ch-B total (tot B), Ch-A grand
total (Gtot A) or Ch-B grand total (Gtot B), both ChA and Ch-B totals (tot AB), or both Ch-A and Ch-B
grand totals (Gt AB).
Manual Control Menu (Contrl)
The Manual Control menu is used to control the
4-20 mA analog output (Aout 1 only) and the relays
manually, ignoring the input. Each relay and analog
output can be programmed independently for manual
control. Selecting automatic control sets all relays and
analog output for automatic operation.

the programmed parameter settings, to restrict the
ability to reset the totals and grand totals, and to
program the non-resettable totalizer.
Pass 1: Allows use of function keys and digital
inputs
Pass 2: Allows use of function keys, digital inputs
and editing set/reset points
Pass 3: Restricts all programming, function keys,
and digital inputs.
Total: Prevents resetting the total manually
Gtotal: Prevents resetting the grand total manually
Protecting or Locking the Meter Functions
Enter the Password menu and program a six-digit
password.
For instructions on how to program numeric values
see Setting Numeric Values on page 25.
Total Reset Password & NonResettable Total
The total and the grand total can be passwordprotected to prevent unauthorized total resets.
The grand total can be programmed as a non-
resettable total by entering the password “050873”.
• Once the Grand Total has been programmed as
“non-resettable” the feature CANNOT be
disabled.
Making Changes to a Password Protected Meter
If the meter is password protected, the meter will
display the message Locd (Locked) when the Menu
button is pressed. Press the Enter button while the
message is being displayed and enter the correct
password to gain access the menu. After exiting the
programming mode, the meter returns to its password
protected condition.
Disabling Password Protection
To disable the password protection, access the
Password menu and enter the correct password
twice, as shown below. The meter is now unprotected
until a new password is entered.
If the correct six-digit password is entered, the meter
displays the message unLoc (unlocked) and the
protection is disabled until a new password is
programmed.
If the password entered is incorrect, the meter
displays the message Locd (Locked) for about two
seconds, and then it returns to Run Mode. To try
again, press Enter while the Locked message is
displayed.
Did you forget the password?
The password may be disabled by entering a
master password once. If you are authorized to
make changes, enter the master password 508655
to unlock the meter.

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.
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. This setting
affects the last two digits, regardless of decimal point
position. See examples below:

Modbus RTU Serial Communications (serial)
The meter is equipped with serial communications
capability as a standard feature using Modbus RTU
Serial Communication Protocol.
The meter may be connected to a PC for initial
configuration via the on-board USB connection. For
ongoing digital communications with a computer or
other data terminal equipment, an RS-232, or RS-485
option is required; see Ordering Information on page
6 for details.
• DO NOT connect any equipment other than
Precision Digital’s expansion modules, cables, or
meters to the RJ45 M LINK connector. Otherwise
damage will occur to the equipment and the
meter.
Notes
1. More detailed instructions are provided with each
optional serial communications adapter.
2. Refer to the PROVU 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 provided with its own
unique address. The meter address (Slave ID) 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 select the input signal conditioner applied to the inputs (linear, square root, or
programmable exponent), math function for A & B, constants, low-flow cutoff, total count direction (up or down from a
preset amount), and analog output programming. Multi-point linearization is part of the linear function selection.
Input Signal Conditioning (Functn)
The Function menu is used to select the input signal
conditioner applied to the input signal: linear, square
root, or programmable exponent. Multi-point
linearization is part of the linear function selection.
Each input channel input signal conditioner is
programmed independently.
Meters are set up at the factory for linear function with
2-point linearization. The linear function provides a
display that is linear with respect to the input signal.
Square Root Linearization (Square)
The square root function is used to calculate flow
measured with a differential pressure transmitter. The
flow rate is proportional to the square root of the
differential pressure. Scale the meter so that the low
input signal (e.g. 4 mA) is equal to zero flow and the
high input signal (e.g. 20 mA) is equal to the
maximum flow.
Programmable Exponent Linearization (Prog E)
The programmable exponent function is used to
calculate open-channel flow measured with a level
transmitter in weirs and flumes. The flow rate is
proportional to the head height. Scale the meter so
that the low input signal (e.g. 4 mA) is equal to zero
flow and the high input signal (e.g. 20 mA) is equal to
the maximum flow. This method works well for all
weirs and flumes that have a simple exponent in the
flow calculation formula. For weirs and flumes with
complex exponents it is necessary to use a strapping
table and the 32-point linearization of the meter.
Page 46
PROVU™ PD6262 Dual Analog Input Rate/Totalizer
Instruction Manual
46
Multi-Point Linearization (Linear)
Meters are set up at the factory for linear function with
2-point linearization. Up to 32 linearization points can
be selected for each channel under the linear
function. The multi-point linearization can be used to
linearize the display for non-linear signals such as
those from level transmitters used to measure volume
in odd-shaped tanks or to convert level to flow using
weirs and flumes with complex exponent.
Note: After Scale is displayed continue pressing the
Enter button until the meter completes the scaling of
the input and display values.
Math Function (nmath)
The Math menu is used to select the math function
that will determine the channel C value. These math
functions are a combination of input channels A and
B, and will display when channel C is selected in the
Display menu.
A and B refer to the rate of channel A and B. tA and
tB refer to the totals of channel A and B. GtA and GtB
refer to the grand totals of channel A and B. The
following math functions are available.

constants used in channel C math. The math
functions include adder constant P, and factor
constant F.
The Adder constant (P) may be set from -99.999 to
999.999.
The Factor constant (F) may be set from 0.001 to
999.999.
The chart on page 46 details the math functions that
may be selected in the Math Function menu.
Low-Flow Cutoff (CutofF)
The low-flow cutoff feature allows the meter to be
programmed so that the often-unsteady output from a
differential pressure transmitter, at low flow rates,
always displays zero on the meter. The low-flow cutoff
for each channel is programmed independently. The
cutoff can be disabled to display negative values.
The cutoff value may be programmed from 0.1 to
999999. The meter will display zero below the cutoff
value. Programming the cutoff value to zero disables
the cutoff feature. The cutoff can be disabled to
display negative values.

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
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 loop break is
detected
5. Max: Maximum analog output value allowed
regardless of input
6. Min: Minimum analog output value allowed
regardless of input
Analog Output Source
The analog output source can be based on either of
the input channel rate, total, or grand totals (Ch-A,
Ch-B), the math channel (Ch-C), maximum stored
value of either input channel (Hi-A, Hi-B), minimum
stored value of either input channel (Lo-A, Lo-B),
relay set points, or the Modbus input.
To base an analog output on the rate, total, or grand
total of channels A or B, select the channel in the
Analog Output Source menu. Then select the rate,
total, or grand total as the source reference for the
output, and program the output scale.
Analog Output Value for Loss of 4-20 mA Input (Loop Break)
The AoutPr - Break menu is used to force the analog
output to go to a user-specified mA value if a break
condition is detected in the 4-20 mA input loop.
Selecting Ignore causes the mA output to go to the
minimum value.
Analog Output Calibration
To perform the analog output calibration, it’s
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
1. Wire the PD6262 4-20 mA output to a current
loop that includes a power supply (internal or
external 12 to 24 VDC), and the mA input on the
digital meter. See Figure 20. 4-20 mA Output
Connections on page 19 for details.
2. Turn on all devices. Allow for a 15 to 30 minute
warm-up.
3. Go to the Advanced Features menu, and
navigate to the Analog Output Programming
(AoutPr) → Calibration (Calib) menu and press
Enter.
4. The display will show 4 nmA. The PD6262 mA
output should now be close to 4 mA. Press Enter
and the display will show 04.000. Enter the actual
value read by the digital mA meter and press
Enter.
5. The display will show 20 nmA. The PD6262 mA
output should now be close to 20 mA. Press
Enter and the display will show 20.000. Enter the
actual value read by the digital mA meter and
press Enter.
6. The meter will now calculate the calibration
factors and store them.
7. Press Menu to exit and return to Run mode.

Programmable Function Keys User Menu (user)
The User menu allows the user to assign the front
panel function keys F1, F2, and F3, the digital input
F4 (a digital input located on the input signal
connector), and up to eight additional digital inputs to
access most of the menus or to activate certain
functions immediately (e.g. reset totals, reset max &
min, hold relay states, etc.). This allows the meter to
be greatly customized for use in specialized
applications.
Up to eight digital outputs can be assigned to a
number of actions and functions executed by the

Internal Calibration (ICAL)
The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment
for milliamps and volts with calibration equipment
that is certified to NIST standards.
The use of calibrated signal sources is necessary to
perform the internal calibration of the meter.
Check calibration of the meter at least every
12 months. Each input and input type must be
recalibrated separately.
Notes:
1. If meter is in operation and it is intended
to accept only one input type (e.g.
4-20 mA), recalibration of other input is
not necessary.
2. Allow the meter to warm up for at least
15 minutes before performing the internal
calibration procedure.
The Internal calibration menu is part of the Advanced
Features menu.
1. Press and hold the Menu button for three
seconds to access the advanced features of the
meter.
2. Press the Up arrow button to scroll to the Internal
calibration menu (ICAL) and press Enter.
3. Select channel A (Ch-A) or channel B (Ch-b) and
press enter.
4. The meter displays either current calibration
(C CAL) or voltage calibration (V CAL), according
to the input setup. Press Enter to start the
calibration process.
Example of Internal Calibration for current
input:
5. The meter displays low input current message
(C lo). Apply the low input signal and press
Enter. The display flashes for a moment while the
meter is accepting the low input signal.
6. After the display stops flashing, a number is
displayed with the leftmost digit brighter than the
rest. The bright digit is the active digit that can be
changed by pressing the Up arrow button. Press
the Right arrow button to move to the next digit.
7. Set the display value to correspond to the input
signal being calibrated, typically 4.000 mA.
8. The display moves to the high input calibration
(C Hi). Apply the high input signal and press
Enter.
9. Set the display for the high input calibration, in
the same way as it was set for the low input
calibration, typically 20.000 mA.
The graphic above shows the calibration of the
current input. The voltage input is calibrated in a
similar way.
Tips:
• Low and high input signals can be any valid
values within the range of the meter.
• Observe minimum input span requirements
between input 1 and input 2.
• Low input should be less than high input
signal.
Error Message (Error)
An error message indicates that the calibration or
scaling process was not successful.
After the error message is displayed, the meter
reverts to input 2 during calibration or scaling and to
input 1 during internal calibration, allowing the
appropriate input signal to be applied or programmed.
The error message might be caused by any of the
following conditions:
1. Input signal is not connected to the proper
terminals, or it is connected backwards.
2. Wrong signal selection in Setup menu.
3. Minimum input span requirements not
maintained.
Minimum Input Span
The minimum input span is the minimum difference
between input 1 and input 2 signals required to complete
the calibration or scaling of the meter.

Meter Operation
The meter is capable of accepting two input channels
(A and B) of either current (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA) or
voltage signals (0-5 V, 1-5 V, 0-10 V, 10 V) and
displaying these signals in engineering units from 99999 to 999999 (e.g. a 4-20 mA signal could be
displayed as -50.000 to 50.000). A totalizer can be
programmed to count the scaled engineering units,
interpreting it as count per second, minute, hour, or
day. The scaled rate and total for each channel can
be displayed on the top or bottom displays.
A math function channel (C) is available to perform
operations on channel A and B rates or totals, with
adder and factor constants, and display the results.
Engineering units or tags may be displayed with these
three channels.
The dual-line display can be customized by the user.
Typically, display line 1 is used to display the math
channel C, while line 2 is used to alternate between
displaying input channels A and B rate or total.
Additionally, the meter can be set up to display any
input or math channel on line 1 and a unit or tag on
line 2. The relays and analog output can be
programmed to operate based on any input or math
channel.

Troubleshooting Tips
This meter is a highly sophisticated instrument with an extensive list of features and capabilities. If the front panel
buttons are used to program the meter, it may be a difficult task to keep everything straight. That is why we strongly
recommend the use of the free MeterView Pro software for all programming activities. A USB cable is provided with
the meter for programming with MeterView Pro software.
If you have programmed the meter with the front panel buttons and it is not working as intended, try re-programming
the meter using MeterView Pro software.
Symptom
Check/Action
No display at all
Check power at power connector
Not able to change setup or
programming, Locd is displayed
Meter is password-protected, enter correct six-digit password to unlock
Meter does not respond to input
change
If a Low-Flow Cutoff Value has been programmed, the meter will
display zero below that point, regardless of the input – which can
appear like the meter is not responding to an input change. Check to
make sure the problem is not being caused by an undesired low-flow
cutoff value.
To prevent the display from showing a negative value, set the low-flow
cutoff to a value greater than zero.
Meter displays error message during
calibration (Error)
Check:
1. Signal connections
2. Input selected in Setup menu
3. Minimum input span requirements
Meter displays
1. 999999
2. -99999
Check:
1. Input selected in Setup menu
2. Corresponding signal at Signal connector
Display is unstable
Check:
1. Input signal stability and value
2. Display scaling vs. input signal
3. Filter and bypass values (increase)
Display response is too slow
Check filter and bypass values
Display reading is not accurate
Check:
1. Input signal conditioner selected: Linear, square root, etc.
2. Scaling or calibration
Display does not respond to input
changes, reading a fixed number
Check:
1. Display assignment, it might be displaying max, min, or set point.
Display alternates between
1. Hi and a number
2. Lo and a number
Press Menu to exit max/min display readings.
Relay operation is reversed
Check:
1. Fail-safe in Setup menu
2. Wiring of relay contacts
Relay and status LED do not
respond to signal
Check:
1. Relay action in Setup menu
2. Set and reset points
Flashing relay status LEDs
Relays in manual control mode or relay interlock switches opened.
Meter not communicating with
application programs
Check:
1. Serial adapter and cable
2. Serial settings
3. Meter address and baud rate
If the display locks up or the meter
does not respond at all
Cycle the power to reboot the microprocessor.
Other symptoms not described above
Call Technical Support for assistance.
Note: Certain sequences of events can cause unexpected results. To solve these issues, it is best to start fresh from
factory defaults and use the manual as a step by step programming guide, rather than a random approach to
programming. To reset the meter to factory defaults, see Reset Meter to Factory Defaults on page 53. In addition, for
best results, we recommend using the free MeterView Pro software for all programming needs
