CONTROL INSTRUMENT FEATURES

8. FLOW CHART

This section outlines the most commonly used features of the Hawk 3 controller
and functions as a quick start guide. Please refer to the table of contents to find
in-depth information or advanced features.

Installation and Wiring

See Section 1 in this manual for specific wiring and installation information per­taining to user’s specific unit. With only the power supply wired, the Hawk 3 can
be programmed before installation. The Hawk 3 features non-volatile memory;
programming information will not be lost due to power loss or when changing
meter’s location.

Programming

Many of the advanced features of the Hawk 3 respond to, and interact with, each
other. When programming the Hawk 3 it is important that the proper order is fol­lowed when setting up features. The following is the recommended order.

1. Decimal Point

2. Linearization (AKA Scaling)

3. Set Point/Relay Control (if applicable)

4. Analog output or other applicable controls.

Basic Key Operation (for Programming)

1.  enters the main programming menu, backs out of submenus (one level at a
time) and returns to run mode from the main menu. Exiting the programming
menu in this manner assures that all changes will be saved.  also moves
the cursor to the left.

2.  scrolls through menus and changes parameters.

3. RES opens submenus, moves a blinking parameter into edit mode and allows
editing.

Decimal Point

Using the 3-1/2 digital Hawk 3 as an example, the decimal point can be placed
in any one of 5 locations without affecting the number. For example, 10 volts will
display as 10.00. This display can be changed to get 100.0. Keep in mind that the
decimal point is still needed for some applications.

1. Press  to enter the programming mode.

2. Scroll  until “dCtL” (display control) shows. Press nter .

3. When “DP” and “2345” flashes, press ter .

4. “2345” is now a fixed display. Use  or  to move the decimal point as neces­sary. Press Ente .

5. Use  to save changes.

Linearization

Using a Hawk 3 3-1/2 digit meter with a 200mVDC range, the following example
shows 1 pt. linearization for 150DCA application using a 50mV shunt. Please refer
to Section 6.8.1 for multiple point linearizations and in-depth instruction.

To verify last setting change:

$02RA1 Read alarm 1 settings.
*2=HI 12.00,SP_
DELAY=H2000ms,
L500ms,RELAY=ND Hawk 3 response: High setpoint at 12.000 with a Hi delayed

esponse of 2.0 seconds, a Lo delay of 0.5 seconds and
a normally de-energized relay.

$02LP3 Set the number linearization points to 3.
*2 Hawk 3 Response
$02L1E040.00D000.00 Linearization point 1 electrical input is 4000

counts, display shows 0.

$02L2E120.00D050.10 Linearization point 2 electrical input is 12000

counts, display shows 50.10

*2 Hawk 3 response.
$02L3E200.00D100.00 Linearization point 3 electrical input is 20000

counts, display shows 100.00

*2 Hawk 3 response.

$02EXIT Terminate menu settings, save changes and

resume normal operation.

*2=UPDATE_RAM Hawk 3 response.

NOTE: After linearization changes, the Hawk 3 permanently saves the changes

to flash memory.

To verify last setting change:

$02RL

1. Press  to enter programming mode.

3. Scroll  until “SCtL” (screen control) displays.

4. Press En. . “Lin” (linearization) should display.

5. Press Ente . Display flashes “oFF” and “Cord” (coordinate).

6. Press Ente. oFF is now a fixed display. Scroll up until “1pt” displays. Press

ent . .

7. The display flashes a number and “ele1”. Press ente .

8. Use ,  and  to change the number to 200.0 . If necessary, move one
place to the left of “2” to remove the “-” sign. 200.0 represents the electrical
maximum input of 200.0mV.

9. Press Ente . The display will flash a number and “dsp1”. Press nter .

10. Change the number to 600.0 by using ,  and . If necessary, move one
place to the left of the “6” to remove the “-” sign. 600.0 represents the displayed
value in amps when the full scale input is reached. Press ent. .

11. Use  to save changes.

Now 150.0 is on the display with 50.0DCmV applied to the input.

Set Points & Relays

mands that work in “Query” mode.

Response Structure:

The Hawk 3 will not echo the command sent to it, but, will reply in one of three
ways:

1. “%” and some error message. The command was not understood or the
optional checksum failed.

2. “*” The command was accepted and the response requires no data.

3. “*{DATA}” The command was accepted and DATA is supplied in return.

The percent mark (% , ASCII 37, 25h) and the asterisk (* , ASCII 42, 2Ah) are
the only two valid response prefix characters.

Response Delay:

Hawk 3 should respond in less than 50mS. During this waiting period, no other
commands should be issued. If Hawk 3 does not respond, assume no response
and timeout.

7.5 Examples

NOTE: All replies will terminate with a carriage return (^M , ASCII 13, 0Dh).

The following are some examples of commands and their expected response:

$02RD Read unit with address 02
*2=138.00A1A3 Hawk 3 response: Value is 138.00 and alarm 1 and alarm

3 are tripped.

#02RD75 Read unit with address 02, long response, the checksum

is 75.
