Acessing setup for scaling, relays and display brightess Use the method below to access the display scaling, relay high and low setpoints and brightness level setup. Note that DIP switch 4 must be in the ON position to access the scaling functions and in the OFF position to access the alarm relay and brightness functions.
Mechanical Installation Choose a mounting position as far away as possible from sources of electrical noise such as motors, generators, fluorescent lights, high voltage cables/bus bars etc. An IP65 access cover which may be installed on the panel and surrounds is available as an option to be used when mounting the instrument in damp/dusty positions.
Electrical installation Electrical installation The PM4 Panel Meter is designed for continuous operation and no power switch is fitted to the unit. It is recommended that an external switch and fuse be provided to allow the unit to be removed for servicing. Power supply type is factory configured, check the power supply type fitted before connecting power to the PM4.

Bargraph scaling The rear pushbuttons are use to scale the bargraph. Refer to section for details of how to access the setup functions for relay and brightness adjustment. The procedure in section must be followed before proceeding to the steps below. 12 of PM4IV2MAN-1.1-0...
Warning display If during scaling both bargraphs flash on and off for 2 to 3 seconds this indicates a span error during scaling i.e. the input for the low bargraph level is the same or too close to the input for the high bargraph level.

Alarm relay and brightness level settings The rear pushbuttons are used to set the alarm relays and display brightness levels. The rear DIP switch 4 must be in the OFF position to allow the alarm relays and brightness levels to be set. Alarm relays A high alarm or a low alarm setting can be stored for each relay.
