INTRODUCTION
The Trident is a multipurpose, easy to use digital panel meter. It accepts
current, voltage, thermocouple, and RTD signals. The four front panel
buttons make the setup and programming an easy task.
The isolated 24 VDC transmitter power (optional) can be used to power
the input transmitter, the 4-20 mA output, or other devices.
The two relays (optional) can be used for alarm indication or process control
applications, such as pump alternation control.
Two relays and a 4-20 mA output are available together in the same meter.
The 4-20 mA isolated output and Modbus
®
RTU serial communication
options make the Trident an excellent addition to any system.

INSTALLATION
There is no need to remove the meter from its case to complete the installation, wiring, and setup of the meter.
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
• Prepare a standard 1/8 DIN panel cutout – 3.622" x 1.772" (92 mm
x 45 mm). Refer to MOUNTING DIMENSIONS, page 64 for more
details.
• Clearance: allow at least 4" (102 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
evenly until meter is snug to the panel along its short side. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN, as the rear of the panel may be damaged.

Connections
All connections are made to removable screw terminal connectors
located at the rear of the meter.
Use copper wire with 60°C or 60/75°C insulation
for all line voltage connections. Observe all safety
regulations. Electrical wiring should be performed
in accordance with all applicable national, state,
and local codes to prevent damage to the meter
and ensure personnel safety.
Connector Labeling
The connectors label, affixed to the meter, shows the location of all connectors available with requested configuration. It also identifies the location of the RTD/TC selector switch. The below two images are common
connector configurations for the PD765. Note that the connector in the
upper left of the diagram has two different configurations based on the
model.

Power Connections
Power connections are made to a two-terminal connector labeled

connection. The + and - symbols are only a suggested wiring convention.
Figure 4. Power Connections
Signal Connections
Signal connections are made to a five-terminal connector labeled
SIGNAL on Figure 2. The COM (common) terminal is the return for all
types of input signals.
Current and Voltage Connections
The following figures show examples for current and voltage connections.
There are no switches or jumpers to set up for current and voltage inputs.
Setup and programming is performed through the front panel buttons.

Figure 6. Transmitters Powered by Internal Supply (Optional)
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.

Thermocouple and RTD Connections
The following figures show examples for thermocouple and RTD connections.
The RTD/TC selector switch must be set to the proper position for the
meter to accept the selected temperature input.
The input type is selected using the Setup menu.
Selected thermocouple input must correspond to thermocouple sensor
and wire type used.
Figure 8. Thermocouple Input Connections
Figure 9. Three-Wire RTD Input Connections
The meter accepts two, three, or four-wire RTDs. The three-wire RTD
connection has built-in lead wire compensation.

Figure 10. Two-Wire RTD Input Connections
Lead wire compensation for two-wire RTDs can be applied using the
Adjust menu. See Offset Adjustment (Adj), page 53.
Figure 11. Four-Wire RTD Input Connections
The four-wire RTD connection is similar to the three-wire. One of the
leads of a four-wire RTD is not connected, and may be clipped off.
The three-wire connection provides sufficient lead wire compensation to
provide accurate readings even with long leads.

Serial Communication
Serial communication connection is made to an RJ11 connector labeled
SERIAL on Figure 2. Use PDA7232 for RS-232 interfacing.
Use PDA7422 for RS-485 interfacing.
Use PDA7420 for meter-to-meter interfacing for cloning purposes (i.e.
copying programmed settings from one meter to other meters).
Relays and 24 V Output Connections
Relay connections are made to a six-terminal connector labeled
RELAY1, RELAY2 on Figure 2. The COM (common) terminals of the relays should not be confused with the COM (common) terminal of the
SIGNAL connector. The 24 VDC output is available at the connector labeled 24V OUT, next to the relays 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:

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. Inductive relay rating is 1/14 HP (50 W) at 115/230 VAC
2. Use capacitors rated for 250 VAC.
3. RC networks may affect load release time of solenoid loads. Check to confirm proper operation.
4. 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.

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.
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.

4-20 mA Output & Input Signal Connections
Connections for the 4-20 mA transmitter output are made to the connector terminals labeled “mA OUT, I-, I+”. The 4-20 mA output may be
powered from an internal power supply (optional) or from an external
power supply.
