digit displays are available in either 2.25" or 4" high red LED digits with
adjustable display intensities. The 2.25" high models are readable up to 130 feet.
The 4" high models are readable up to 180 feet. Both versions are constructed
of a NEMA 4X/IP65 enclosure in light weight aluminum.
All models also come with dual Form C relay outputs and RS232 / RS485
serial communications.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in this and
corresponding literature, or on equipment, must be observed to ensure personal
safety and to prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to
it. If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
CAUTION: Risk of Danger.
Read complete instructions prior to
installation and operation of the unit.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock.
The protective conductor terminal is bonded to conductive
parts of the equipment for safety purposes and must be
connected to an external protective earthing system.

1.0 InstallIng the Meter
INSTALLATION
The meter meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements when properly installed.
INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the operating
temperature. Placing the unit near devices that generate excessive heat should
be avoided. The unit should only be cleaned with a soft cloth and neutral soap
product. Do NOT use solvents.
Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may accelerate the aging process of
the front overlay. Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.)
to operate the keypad of the unit.
2.0 settIng the JuMpers
INPUT RANGE JUMPER
This jumper is used to select the proper input range. The input range selected
in programming must match the jumper setting. Select a range that is high
enough to accommodate the maximum signal input to avoid overloads. To
access the jumper, remove the side cover of the meter.
Warning: Exposed line voltage exists on the circuit boards.
Remove all power to the meter and load circuits before accessing
inside of the meter.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
This display is designed to
be wall mounted or
suspended from a ceiling
truss or other suitable
structure capable of
supporting the LDA.
Caution should be
exercised when hanging
the display to provide for
the safety of personnel. If
hanging the LDA, run the
suspension cables (or chains)
through the mounting bracket
holes. For wall mounting use
#10-32 size bolts.

EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Although Red Lion Controls Products are designed with a high degree of
immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and wiring
methods must be followed to ensure compatibility in each application. The type
of the electrical noise, source or coupling method into a unit may be different
for various installations. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are very
important and can mean the difference between a successful or troublesome
installation. Listed are some EMI guidelines for a successful installation in an
industrial environment.
1. A unit should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly connected
to protective earth.
2. Use shielded cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield connection
should be made as short as possible. The connection point for the shield
depends somewhat upon the application. Listed below are the recommended
methods of connecting the shield, in order of their effectiveness.
a. Connect the shield to earth ground (protective earth) at one end where the
unit is mounted.
b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when
the noise source frequency is over 1 MHz.
3. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with AC
power lines, conductors, feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, and
heaters, etc. The cables should be run through metal conduit that is properly
grounded. This is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long
and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation
is near a commercial radio transmitter. Also, Signal or Control cables within
an enclosure should be routed as far away as possible from contactors, control
relays, transformers, and other noisy components.
4. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.
5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression
devices such as Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables is
effective. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are
recommended:
Fair-Rite part number 0443167251 (RLC part number FCOR0000)
Line Filters for input power cables:
Schaffner # FN2010-1/07 (Red Lion Controls # LFIL0000)
6. To protect relay contacts that control inductive loads and to minimize radiated
and conducted noise (EMI), some type of contact protection network is
normally installed across the load, the contacts or both. The most effective
location is across the load.
a. Using a snubber, which is a resistor-capacitor (RC) network or metal oxide
varistor (MOV) across an AC inductive load is very effective at reducing
EMI and increasing relay contact life.
b. If a DC inductive load (such as a DC relay coil) is controlled by a transistor
switch, care must be taken not to exceed the breakdown voltage of the
transistor when the load is switched. One of the most effective ways is to
place a diode across the inductive load. Most RLC products with solid state
outputs have internal zener diode protection. However external diode
protection at the load is always a good design practice to limit EMI.
Although the use of a snubber or varistor could be used.
RLC part numbers: Snubber: SNUB0000
Varistor: ILS11500 or ILS23000
7. Care should be taken when connecting input and output devices to the
instrument. When a separate input and output common is provided, they
should not be mixed. Therefore a sensor common should NOT be connected
to an output common. This would cause EMI on the sensitive input common,
which could affect the instrument’s operation.

WIRING OVERVIEW
Electrical connections are made via pluggable terminal blocks located inside
the meter. All conductors should conform to the meter's voltage and current
ratings. All cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good installation,
local codes and regulations. It is recommended that the power supplied to the
meter (DC or AC) be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. When wiring the
meter, compare the numbers on the label on the back of the meter case against
those shown in wiring drawings for proper wire position. Strip the wire, leaving
approximately 0.4" (10 mm) bare lead exposed (stranded wires should be tinned
with solder.) Insert the lead under the correct screw clamp terminal and tighten
until the wire is secure. (Pull wire to verify tightness.) Each terminal can accept
up to one #14 AWG (2.55 mm) wire, two #18 AWG (1.02 mm), or four #20
AWG (0.61 mm). Use copper conductors only, with insulation rated at 90°C.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
Internal removable terminal
blocks are used for power and
signal wiring. Access to
terminal blocks is through
conduit fittings. Remove end
plates with ¼" nut driver. For
LD4 versions, all wiring is on
right side of unit. For LD2
versions, power and relay
wiring is on the right side and
the input, serial, DC out and
user input is on the left side.
Connect drain wire from
shielded cable(s) to screw on
side plate for proper grounding.

RS232 Communications
RS232 is intended to allow two devices to communicate over distances up to
50 feet. Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) transmits data on the Transmitted Data
(TXD) line and receives data on the Received Data (RXD) line. Data Computer
Equipment (DCE) receives data on the TXD line and transmits data on the RXD
line. The LD emulates a DTE. If the other device connected to the meter also
emulates a DTE, the TXD and RXD lines must be interchanged for
communications to take place. This is known as a null modem connection. Most
printers emulate a DCE device while most computers emulate a DTE device.
Some devices cannot accept more than two or three characters in succession
without a pause in between. In these cases, the meter employs a busy function.
As the meter begins to transmit data, the RXD line (RS232) is monitored to
determine if the receiving device is “busy”. The receiving device asserts that it
is busy by setting the RXD line to a space condition (logic 0). The meter then
suspends transmission until the RXD line is released by the receiving device.

RS485 Communications
The RS485 communication standard allows the connection of up to 32
devices on a single pair of wires, distances up to 4,000 ft. and data rates as high
as 10M baud (the LDA is limited to 38.4k baud). The same pair of wires is used
to both transmit and receive data. RS485 is therefore always half-duplex, that is,
data cannot be received and transmitted simultaneously.
