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™ PD6363 Dual Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

Instruction Manual

Introduction

The PROVU PD6363 is a multipurpose, easy to use digital dual pulse 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 pulse (e.g. 40 mVp-p to 8 Vp-p), square wave (0-5 V, 0-12 V, or 0-24 V), open collector, NPN, PNP, TTL or switch contact signals. 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.

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 flowmeter power supply that can be used to power the input flowmeters 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 PD6363 meter has the following: four SPDT relays, 4-20 mA output, and two 24 VDC power supplies. The PD6363 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.

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 19. Relay Connections

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 20. 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.

Figure 21. 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.

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 42.

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

Setting the Input Signal (Input)

There are two internal slide switches, located inside the rear meter housing to the left of the input connector, which must be configured according to the input levels and types. See Configure Input Type and Level Switches on page 19 for details.

Enter the Input menu to enable or disable the totalizer features.

Setting the Totalizer Features (total)

To simply not display the total, select alternative display parameters in the display (dsplay) menu.

Enable or disable the totalizer features by selecting

“Yes” or “no” after the input type has been set up. If

the totalizer features are disabled, most totalizer features and functions are hidden from the menus.

Note: The totalizer continues working in the background.

Setting the Dual-Input Mode (nmode)

The Mode menu is used to set the functions of the dual input and total. The inputs may be configured for independent one-directional total operation, bidirectional total count with the use of another input or a digital input, or for quadrature input modes.

Independent Dual Totalizers (DUAL)

Total A and B are one-directional and independent, only counting up or down depending on Count settings.

Ch-A Totalizer Add/Subtract by Ch-B Input (ud AB)

Total of channel A will add or subtract as determined by the state of input channel B. Channel A total will add at each falling edge if input B is high, and subtract at each rising edge if input B is low.

Ch-A Totalizer Add/Subtract by Digital Input (ud AI)

Total of channel A will add or subtract as determined by the state of a digital input. Channel A total will add at each falling edge if an assigned digital input is high, and subtract at each rising edge if an assigned digital input is low.

Figure 32. Dual Input Mode (ud AI)

Page 29

PROVU™ PD6363 Dual Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

Instruction Manual

Ch-B Totalizer Add/Subtract by Digital Input (ud BI)

Total of channel B will add or subtract as determined by the state of a digital input. Channel B total will add at each falling edge if an assigned digital input is high, and subtract at each rising edge if an assigned digital input is low.

Ch-A & Ch-B Totalizer Add/Subtract by Digital Input (ud aB)

Totals of channel A and B will add or subtract as determined by the state of a digital input assigned to each channel. This mode combines the features of ud AI and ud BI.

This setting requires the use of a PDA1044 digital I/O expansion module (see Ordering Information on page

6). The F4 digital input will only support one channel.

Quadrature Input Type 1 (quad 1)

Quadrature modes are used to accept inputs that are ±90 degrees out of phase, from quadrature output devices. Total of channel A will add or subtract as determined by the state of input channel B. Channel A total will add at each rising edge if channel B is high, and subtract at each rising edge if channel B is low.

Quadrature Input Type 2 (quad 2)

Quadrature Input Type 4 (quad 4)

Quadrature modes are used to accept inputs that are ±90 degrees out of phase, from quadrature output devices. Totals of channel A and B will add at each rising and falling edge of that channel.

2. The letters “m” and “w” use two 7-segment LEDs each; when selected the characters to the right are shifted one position.

3. Press and hold up arrow to auto-scroll the characters in the display.

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.

Page 31

PROVU™ PD6363 Dual Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

Instruction Manual

Programming the Rate/Totalizer (prog)

The meter may either be scaled (SCALE) without applying an input, calibrated (Cal) by applying an input, or you may use the K-Factor menu to match the rate/totalizer with a flowmeter’s k-factor (pulse/unit of measure). 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 for each channel A and B:

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. Reset modes for total & grand total

The pulse 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, page 44.

Input Calibration Method (InCAL)

There are three methods of calibrating (or scaling) the display for each input channel to show the correct engineering units.

• Use the Factor menu to enter the k-factor of a flowmeter in units/pulse

• Use the Scale menu to enter the scaling without a signal source.

• Use the Calibrate menu to apply a signal from a signal source.

• The Scale, Calibrate, and K-Factor functions are exclusive of each other. The meter uses the last function programmed. Only one of these methods can be employed at a time.

Multi-Point Calibration & Scaling

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 under the Multi-Point Linearization (Linear) menu selection prior to scaling and calibration of the meter, see page 47 for details.

K-Factor Calibration (Fact-A, Factb)

The meter may be calibrated using the K-Factor function. Most flowmeter manufacturers provide this information with the device. Enter the K-Factor (Fact-A, Fact-b) menu and select the decimal point with highest resolution possible and program the kfactor value (i.e. pulses/gal). The meter will automatically calculate the flow rate using the k-factor and the time base selected.

Scaling the Meter without a Signal Source (SCAL-A, SCAL-B)

The inputs 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). Enter the input signal values in pulses/second (Hz), and the corresponding display values in appropriate engineering units.

Channel B is scaled similarly to Channel A, shown below.

Page 32

PROVU™ PD6363 Dual Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

Instruction Manual

Scaling the Meter for Channel A (SCal-A)

For instructions on how to program numeric values

see Setting Numeric Values, page 26.

Note: The display values (DiS 1 and DiS 2) need to be in units of measure per second.

For example: If the rate at 1000 Hz is 13.2 gal/min, this must be converted to gal/sec. In this scenario, the numbers input into the SCALE menu would be as follows:

InP 1: 0.0 DiS 1: 0.000 InP 2: 1000.0 DiS 2: 0.220

Set the time base set to minutes (see Total & Grand Total Setup (tsetup) on page 33) and the meter will

display 13.2 gal/min at 1000 Hz

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. 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 using an external signal source, or 0.1 Hz for scaling the meter without a signal source.

Calibrating the Meter with External Source (CAL-A, CAL-B)

To scale the meter without a signal source, refer to

Scaling the Meter without a Signal Source (SCAL-A,

SCAL-B), page 31.

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.

There is no need to warm up the meter before

performing calibration of the inputs.

Channel B is calibrated similarly to Channel A, shown below.

Calibrating the Meter for Channel A (CAL-A)

Note: The display values (

DiS 1

and

DiS 2

) need to

be in units of measure per second. Note: Inputs for the above example are:

Input 1: 0.0 Hz; Display 1: 0.0 gallons/min Input 2: 1000.0 Hz; Display 2: 6000.0 gallons/min

Page 33

PROVU™ PD6363 Dual Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

Instruction Manual

Total & Grand Total Setup (tsetup)

The time base and total and grand total conversion factors for input channels A and B are located in the Totalizer Setup menu.

The time base is determined by the rate programming. Enter the time unit of the programmed rate scale. For example: A rate display scaled in

engineering units of gallons per minute would use a time base of minutes.

Total & grand total conversion factors for channel A and B are programmed independently. This means that one total or grand total can be displaying the value in gallons while another displays in million gallons, liters, m3, etc.

Total & Grand Total Reset (treset)

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 (t dly) in seconds is available to reset the total or grand total after the assigned preset is reached.

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 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.

Page 38

PROVU™ PD6363 Dual Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

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.

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

The following table indicates how the relays behave based on the fail-safe selection for each relay:

Note: NO = Normally Open, NC = Normally Closed.

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:

LED

Status

Alarm 1

Alarm 5

Alarm 2

Alarm 6

Alarm 3

Alarm 7

Alarm 4

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 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.

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.

Instruction Manual

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 50.

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.

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.

Setting Up the Password (pass)

The Password menu is used for programming three levels of security to prevent unauthorized changes to the programmed parameter settings, to restrict the ability to reset the totals and grand totals, and to program the non-resettable totalizer.

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 26.

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 nonresettable 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.

Gate Function (Gate)

The gate function (Gate) is the first option in the Advanced Features menu. There are two settings for the Gate, low gate (Lo G) and high gate (Hi G). Channel A and B use the same gate settings.

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.

Contact De-Bounce Filter (FiLter)

The filter function (Filter) is the second option in the Advanced Features menu. The filter function (FiLter) can be used for applications where the meter is set up to count pulses generated by switch contacts. The filter value can be set anywhere between 2 and 50, the higher the value, the greater the filtering. Channel A and B have independent settings.

There are two settings, Hi SPd (high speed) and Lo

SPd (low speed). After pressing ENTER to select Lo SPd, enter the desired filter setting based on the table

below so that there are no extra counts when a contact closure is completed. Selecting Hi SPd does not require a programmable filter value.

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, 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 condition the linear input signal. Multi-point linearization is part of the linear function selection. Each input channel input signal conditioner is programmed independently.

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 flowmeters 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

The chart on page 48 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 flowmeter, 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 outputs. The following parameters and functions are programmed in this menu for each analog output:

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. Max: Maximum analog output value allowed regardless of input

5. 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), maximum or minimum of A and B (Hi-AB, Lo-AB), 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 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 PD6363 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 23. 4-20 mA Output Connections on page 20 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 PD6363 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 PD6363 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.

Instruction Manual

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 meter (i.e. alarms, relay acknowledgement, reset totals, 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.

Instruction Manual

Meter Operation

The meter accepts two input channels (A and B) of either pulses (e.g. ±40 mV to ± 8V), square wave (0-5 V, 0-12 V, or 0-24 V), open collector NPN, PNP, TTL, or switch contact signals and displays these signals in engineering units from -99999 to 999999. (e.g. a 0-1000 Hz signal could be displayed as -

50.000 to 50.000). Digital inputs and quadrature inputs can be accepted

for bi-directional flow on channel A and B. Quadrature inputs can also be accepted, using channels A and B to calculate a single bi-directional flow.

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 display line 1 and a unit or tag on line 2. The relays and analog output can be programmed to operate based on any input rate or total, or the math function channel.

Troubleshooting

The rugged design and the user-friendly interface of the meter should make it unusual for the installer or operator to refer to this section of the manual. However, due to the many features and functions of

the meter, it’s possible that the setup of the meter

does not agree with what an operator expects to see. If the meter is not working as expected, refer to the

Diagnostics menu and recommendations below.

Diagnostics Menu (diag)

The Diagnostics menu is located in the Advanced Features menu. To access the Diagnostics menu see Advanced Features Menu, page 44.

For a description of the diagnostic messages, see Advanced Features Menu & Display Messages, page

44.

Testing the Display LEDs

To test all LEDs on the display:

1. Go to the Diagnostics menu (diAG) and press Enter button.

2. Press Up arrow button and scroll to LED Test menu (led t)

3. Press the Enter button to activate the LED Test. The meter will cycle through all digits, decimal points, and relay indicators to enable the operator to check that all LEDs are functioning properly.

4. Press the Enter button again to access the Information menu (info) or press the Menu button to return to Run Mode.

Determining Software Version

To determine the software version of a meter:

1. Go to the Diagnostics menu (diAG) and press Enter button.

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.
