Trident Model PD765 Universal Input Meter Instruction Manual Programming the Meter (prog) It is very important to read the following information, before proceeding to program the meter: There is no need to recalibrate the meter when first received from the factory.
Trident Model PD765 Universal Input Meter Instruction Manual Scaling the Meter (scal) The process inputs (4-20 mA and 10 VDC) can be scaled to display the process in engineering units. A signal source is not needed to scale the meter; simply program the inputs and corresponding display values.
Page 45
Trident Model PD765 Universal Input Meter Instruction Manual Error Message (Err) An error message indicates that the calibration or scaling process was not successful. After the error message is displayed, the meter reverts to input 1, allow- ing the appropriate input signals to be applied. The error message might be caused by any of the following conditions: Input signal is not connected to the proper terminals or it is con- nected backwards.
Trident Model PD765 Universal Input Meter Instruction Manual Calibrating the Meter (Cal) To scale the meter without a signal source refer to Scaling the Meter (scal), page 44. The meter can be calibrated to display the process in engineering units by applying the appropriate input signal and following the calibration procedure.
Trident Model PD765 Universal Input Meter Instruction Manual Recommended Calibration Points To recalibrate the meter, it is recommended to use the Fahrenheit scale; this will give a greater degree of accuracy to the calibration. The scale can be changed to the Celsius scale after calibration is completed. The meter will display temperature accurately in any scale.
Trident Model PD765 Universal Input Meter Instruction Manual Setting Up the Password (pass) The Password menu is used to program a four-digit password to pre- vent unauthorized changes to the programmed parameter settings. Locking the Meter Enter the Password menu and program a four-digit password. For instructions on how to program numeric values see Setting Numeric Values, page 28.
Page 49
Trident Model PD765 Universal Input Meter Instruction Manual Entering the correct four-digit number sets the password to 0000, disa- bling the protection. Changes to the programmed parameter settings are allowed only with the password set to 0000. If the password entered is incorrect, the meter displays LoCd (Locked) for about two seconds, then it returns to Run Mode.

Trident Model PD765 Universal Input Meter Instruction Manual Tips: Low and high input signals can be any valid values within the range of the meter. Observe minimum input span requirements between input 1 and input 2. Low input must be less than high input signal. Error Message (Err) An error message indicates that the calibration or scaling process was not successful.
Trident Model PD765 Universal Input Meter Instruction Manual OPERATION For process inputs, the meter is capable of accepting positive and nega- tive signals and displaying these signals in engineering units from -1999 to 9999 (e.g. a signal from -10 to +10 VDC could be displayed as -10.00 to 10.00).
