3.1 Safety Information

WARNING READ SAFETY INFORMATION BELOW BEFORE
•
INSTALLATION
WARNING Hazardous voltages may be present on the terminals - the
•
equipment must be installed by suitably qualified personnel and
mounted in an enclosure providing protection to at least IP20.
ISOLATION The power supply terminals and associated internal circuitry are
•
isolated from all other parts of the equipment in accordance with BS
EN61010-1 for connection to a Category II supply (pollution degree
2)
Functional isolation (500V max) is provided between input and
output circuits, and between inputs and communications (where
fitted). Any terminals or wiring connected to the input, output
or communications terminals which are accessible in normal
operation must ONLY be connected to signals complying with
the requirements for Safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuits.
WARNING If not installed in accordance with these instructions,
•
protection against electrical hazards may be impaired.
Installation overvoltage category - 2 (as per BS EN61010-1)
•
The Mains supply to the equipment must be protected by an external 1 Amp fuse and a
•
suitable switch or circuit breaker which should be near the equipment.
The equipment contains no user serviceable parts.

CLAMPING SCREW
PANEL CLAMP
Cutout (92.0 / 92.8 x 45.0 / 45.6) mm (DIN43700)
Refer to section 8.0 for Mechanical Detail.
The maximum panel thickness is 10 mm. The instrument case has an integral gasket which
forms a seal when the instrument is tightened against the panel. The panel should be clean,
smooth and at least 1.6 mm thick for the seal to be effective.
WARNING Use only the retaining screws provided to clamp the instrument to
•
the panel (screws must be tightened sufficiently to effect a seal but
must never be overtightened).

3.3 WIRING

All connections are made to sockets which are removable for ease of maintenance.
Installation should be undertaken in accordance with relevant sections of BS6739 -
British Standards code of practice for "Instrumentation in Process Control Systems:
Installation design and practice".

3.4 POWER SUPPLY

The Power supply rating will be indicated on the top of the instrument, ensure it is correct for
the application.
The Mains supply to the equipment must be protected by an external 1 Amp fuse and a
suitable switch or circuit breaker which should be near the equipment.
(+) L N (-)
Wires are retained by screws. Ensure that the exposed section of the wire is fully inserted and
that no loose strands are exposed.

3.5 SENSOR CONNECTIONS

All sensor connections are made via the five way "fast wiring" socket at the rear of the unit.
Wire size (0.5 to 1.5) mm².

3.5.1 Current Measurement of an Internally Powered Loop

A 24V internal power supply is available to power external field transmitters.
To make a connection: Insert small screwdriver blade into tension clamp orifice, (1) push and
twist to deflect clamp into open position. Do not lever screwdriver thus forcing connector body
sideways. Insert conductor tail sufficiently into (2) then release screwdriver. Ensure no loose
wire strands protrude.

4.0 PROGRAMMING THE INSTRUMENT

The unit is a microprocessor based instrument enabling it to satisfy a variety of applications.
All programming is available from the front panel or via a PC using the RS485 Modbus
communications pod.

4.1 Programming Guide

The unit has three operating modes. These are :-
RUN is the principal mode of operation, which displays the Process Variable from which all
other modes are accessed. The unit will always time-out back to this mode after one minute.
MENU mode provides access to the programmable parameters.
EDIT mode is entered from Menu Mode and allows the user to inspect and modify a
parameter.
4.2 Key Definitions
All programming is done using the three front panel keys, A, B and C are shown to assist the
tutorial.
CYCLE (A), SHIFT (B) and INC (C) keys are pressed singularly.
ESCAPE (A&B), ENTER (B&C) and CLEAR (A&C) are obtained by simultaneously pressing
the two keys.

4.3 Entering Menu Mode (START PROGRAMMING)

The Root Menu mode is accessed from "Run" by pressing ENTER (B&C) followed by CYCLE
(A). The display will now show "inPt". In order to understand what this means, the following
diagram shows where we are within the basic Root menu.
Input
Submenu
* Slot menus only appear when respective option pods are fitted.
4.3.1 Moving Around The Menu
You can browse through the Root menu by pressing CYCLE (A) which moves the menu
position from left to right (after reaching SYS, the menu position wraps around to the start).
4.3.2 Entering A Submenu
To enter a submenu, first cycle around the Root menu until the required submenu is displayed.
For the purposes of this tutorial press the CYCLE (A) key until "InPt" is displayed. Pressing
SHIFT (B) enters the Input Submenu. "tYPe" will now be displayed. The diagram shows our
position in relation to other items in the menu. Pressing CYCLE (A) moves left to right,
wrapping around at the end. The unit alters items in the menu list depending upon settings
made.

4.3.3 Editing A Parameter

The items displayed in the menu can either be submenus, parameters or numbers, most of the
items in the Inputs menu are parameters which can be edited.
Press the CYCLE (A) key until "tYPe" is displayed, then press SHIFT (B).
The current setting will now be shown flashing. This item is changed by pressing the INC (C)
key.
The choice of options available is as follows:
Press the INC (C) key until "crnt" is displayed.
Note that whilst the display is flashing, the option on the display has not been saved to
memory. To select an option, the ENTER key sequence is used. Press ENTER (B&C). The
display will stop
automatically steps on to the next entry to speed the process of programming. This method of
editing parameters is repeated throughout the menu structure.
4.3.4 Returning From Submenus
To return up from the inPt menu to the root menu wait for 1 minute or press the ESCAPE
(A&B) key.
Pressing the ESCAPE key from our current position in the Inputs submenu takes us back to
the Root menu. The menu position will automatically step to the next menu item, if no pods
are fitted the unit will show SYS, if pods are fitted SLt1 or SLt2 will be shown.
The Root menu, as its name suggests is not a submenu. Pressing the ESCAPE (A&B) key
sequence whilst in the Root menu will take the user out of Menu mode and into Run mode.
Thus the process variable will be shown on the display. Refer to section 5.2 if an error code is
shown after programming in menu mode.

4.4 The Menus

4.4.1 The INPt (INPUT) Submenu
The INPt submenu is used to program all the characteristics of the input sensor and any signal
conditioning that may be required. The selection of an option in the list may affect items further
down. Therefore, during programming, the user should start at the top of the menu and work
down, to avoid setting an option which may later become obsolete. Short menu only items
shown in bold.
