Model PD6300 Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer Instruction Manual
INTRODUCTION
The PROVU® PD6300 is a multipurpose, easy to use pulse rate/totalizer ideal for
flow rate, total, and control applications. It accepts pulse (e.g. ±40 mV to ±8 V),
square wave (0-5 V, 0-12 V, or 0-24 V), open collector, NPN, PNP, TTL or switch
contact signals. Three of the front panel buttons can be custom-programmed for
specific operation.
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 PD6300 pulse rate/totalizer meter has the following: four SPDT relays,
4-20 mA output, and two 24 VDC power supplies. The PD6300 capabilities may be
enhanced by adding the following external expansion modules: four SPST relays
(creating an eight-relay rate/totalizer), 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.
The 4-20 mA isolated output, Modbus RTU serial communications, and digital I/O
options make the PD6300 an excellent addition to any system.

VDC, see page 19.
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 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 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 screws

Modbus RTU Serial Communications
Serial communications connection is made to an RJ45 connector labeled
M-LINK on Figure 6. 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 labeled
RELAY1 – RELAY4 on Figure 6. 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 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 12: AC and DC Loads Protection
Choose R and C as follows:
R: 0.5 to 1 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 13: 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.

External Relay & Digital I/O Connections
The relay and digital I/O expansion modules PDA1004 & PDA1044 are
connected to the meter using the 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!
Warning!
More detailed instructions are provided with each optional expansion module.

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 feature is
enabled by configuring the relay, and relative digital input(s) (see page
65). 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 out. The interlock
relay would be wired in-series with the load (N/O contact). See below.

SETUP AND PROGRAMMING
The meter has been factory calibrated to read input
frequency in Hz (pulses/sec). The calibration equipment is certified to NIST standards.
Use the K-Factor menu to match the rate/totalizer with
a flowmeter’s k-factor (pulse/unit of measure).
Or use the Scale menu to scale the pulse input
(pulse/sec) without a signal source.
Or use Cal menu to calibrate the rate/totalizer using a
signal source.
Overview
There are two switches, located to the right of the input connector, which
must be configured according to the input level and type. Jumper J4 located inside the meter, behind the input signal connector, is used to select the excitation voltage (24 V*, 10 V or 5 V) which is supplied to the
P+ and P- wiring terminals.
Setup and programming is done through the front panel buttons.
After power and input signal connections have been completed and veri-
fied, apply power to the meter.

Programming the Rate/Totalizer (prog)
It is very important that one reads the following information before programming the meter:
The meter has been factory calibrated to read input frequency in Hz
(pulses/sec). The calibration equipment is certified to NIST standards.
Use the K-Factor menu to match the rate/totalizer with a flowmeter’s
k-factor (pulse/unit of measure).
Or use the Scale menu to scale the pulse input (pulse/sec) without a
signal source.
Or use Cal menu to calibrate the rate/totalizer using a signal source.
The
Program menu contains the following menus:
1. K-Factor calibration
2. Scale without a signal source
3. Calibrate with a calibrated signal source
4. Total time base & conversion factor
5. Grand total time base & conversion factor
6. Total reset mode for total & grand total
The process inputs may be calibrated or scaled to any display value
within the range of the meter.

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, 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. Minimum input span requirements not maintained.
3. Input 1 signal inadvertently applied to calibrate input 2.
Minimum Input Span
The minimum allowed input span is 1.0 Hz, which is the minimum difference
between input 1 and input 2 signals required to complete the calibration or
scaling of the meter.
Gate Function (Gate)
The gate function is used for displaying slow pulse rates. Using the programmable gate, the meter is able to display pulse rates as slow as
1 pulse every 999.9 seconds (0.001 Hz). The gate function can also be
used to obtain a steady display reading with a fluctuating input signal.

(
Low Gate (Lo G)
For most applications, low gate setting should be left at 1.0 second. Increase low gate setting to obtain a steadier rate display. The rate display
will update in accordance with the low gate setting, for example if low
gate is set at 10.0, the display will update every 10 seconds; changes in
rate between updates will not be reflected until next display update.
High Gate (Hi G)
Set the high gate value to correspond to the highest expected pulse period (lowest pulse rate). For instance if the meter must display a rate
when there is 1 pulse coming into the meter every 10 seconds, set the
high gate to 11.0 seconds. When the signal is removed from the meter,
the display will show the last reading for 11 seconds; then it will read
zero.

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 or low flow alarms and basic batch control.
There are four basic ways the relays can be used:
1. High or Low Alarms with Latching or Non-Latching Relays
2. Simple On/Off Control with 100% Adjustable Deadband
3. Sampling (Based on Time)
4. Alternation Control for up to 8 Relays
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:
Alarm #
1 HI 1000 500 499 Off
2 LO 700 900 499 On
3 LO 250 400 499 Off

Front Panel LEDs
The LEDs on the front panel provide status indication for the following:
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.
Relay terminology for following tables
TerminologyRelay Condition
On Alarm (Tripped)
Off Normal (Reset)
Ack Acknowledged
The On and Off terminology does not refer to the status of the relay’s
coil, which depends on the fail-safe mode selected.
Warning!
In latching relay mode, latched relays will reset (unlatch) when power is cycled.

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.

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.
The next time an alarm occurs, the operator acknowledges the alarm
manually while the alarm condition still exists. This causes the relay to
reset, but the LED stays on until the meter returns to the normal condition.
Latching Relay (LatcH)
Manual reset any time

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 two ways to acknowledge relays programmed for manual reset:
Via the programmable front panel function keys F1-F3 (Default:
F3 assigned to ACK)
Remotely via a normally open pushbutton wired across one of the
digital inputs and the +5 V terminals on the digital I/O modules.
When the ACK button or the assigned digital input is closed, all relays
programmed for manual reset are acknowledged.

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.
The PD6300 can also be connected to another PD6300 with a special

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 cutoff value may be programmed from 0 to 999999. The meter will
display zero below the cutoff value. Programming the cutoff value to zero
disables the cutoff feature.
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)
2. Overrange: Analog output value with display in overrange condition
3. Underrange: Analog output value with display in underrange condition
4. Max: Maximum analog output value allowed regardless of input
5. Min: Minimum analog output value allowed regardless of input
6. 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
rate/process variable, total, grand total, maximum or minimum value
reached by the rate/process, one of the set points, or the Modbus PV
input.

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.

Only the PDA1200 meter copy cable must be used for
meter-to-meter interfacing. The PDA1200 is a special
eight-conductor flat cable with two wires swapped.
Warning!
Using standard CAT5 or other cable will cause damage to both meters.

METER OPERATION
The meter accepts pulses (e.g. ±40mV to± 8V), square wave (0-5, 012V, or 0-24V), open collector NPN, PNP, TTL, or switch contact signals
and displays these signals in engineering units from -99999 to 999999.
The dual-line display can be customized by the user to operate in such a
way as to satisfy a specific application. Typically the main display is used
for the process variable; while the second display is used for engineering
units, custom legend, total, grand total, or set point indication.
The meter can be set up to display the pulse input on the main display
and the Modbus input on the second display. The relays and analog output can be programmed to operate from the Modbus PV input.
