1. APPLICATION and METER DESIGN The N20Z meter is a digital programmable panel instrument destined for measurements of a.c. voltages, a.c. currents, or frequency. The readout display is a LED display which enables the exposition of results in red, green or orange colour. The LPCon program is destined for the configuration of the N20Z meter.
- Seal ............. 1 pc - Set of labels with units ......1 pc When unpacking the meter, please check whether the type and execution code on the data plate correspond to the order. 3. BASIC REQUIREMENTS, OPERATIONAL SAFETY In the safety service scope, the meter meets the requirements of the EN 61010-1 standard.
4. INSTALLATION The meter has separable strips with screw terminals which enable the connection of external wires of 2.5 mm cross-section. In execution for current measurement, the plug enables a permanent fixing to the so- cket by means of screws. +0.6 +0.6 One must prepare a hole of 92...

5.3. Meter configuration by means of the LPCon program The LPCon program is destined to configure the N20Z meter. One must connect the meter to the PC computer through the PD14 programmer and after choosing the menu Options-> Connection configuration, configure the connection (we choose for the N20Z meter, the address 1, baud rate 9600 kb/s, RTU 8N2 mode, timeout 1000 ms and the suitable COM port under which the PD14 programmer controller has been installed).

After the connection configuration, one must choose Device Meters N20Z from the menu and next click the icon Readout in order to read out all parameters. Parameters can be also read out individually in each group by clicking the Apply push-button. 5.3.1 Setting of displaying parameters After choosing the group: - Display, following elements are possible to be configured:...

Successive measurements are added under the principle of “walking window”, i.e. the earliest measurement is rejected and at its place, is set the measured lately. The measurement of a value beyond the measuring range causes the display of overflow and the start to count correct measurements from the beginning.

d) switching the individual characteristic on. In manufacturing con- ditions the characteristic is disabled. An example of configuration is given below for e.g. operation of the N20Z meter when choosing the kilovolt unit (kV) – the result is divided by 1000. After pressing the Apply push button, parameters a and b of the straight line equation are written on the meter.

Page 16
Both alarms are working independently and each of them has 6 working modes: nor (in two variants), n-on, n-off, on, off, h-on and h-off, which are presented on the fig. 9. Alarm thresholds Aoff and Aon are set in values of the measured quantity taking into consideration the individual characteristic.
