Summary of Contents for AMALGAMATED INSTRUMENT RM6-IV

  • Page 1 RM6-IV DIN Rail Mount DC Current/DC Voltage Process Monitor Operation and Instruction Manual...
  • Page 2 This manual contains information on the installation and operation of the RM6-IV monitor. The RM6-IV accepts inputs in the ranges 0 to 20mA, 4 to 20mA, 0 to 100mV, 0 to 1 Volt, 0 to 10 Volts, 0 to 100 Volts or user set input (called the USER range) limits anywhere within the above ranges.

  • Page 3: Mechanical Installation

    Mechanical Installation The dimensions of the RM6-IV are shown in the diagrams below. The RM6 is designed for DIN rail, horizontal mounting. The instrument snaps onto 35mm DIN standard rails (EN50022). To install the R M6 simply clip onto the rail shown below. To remove lever the lower a rm downwards as illustrated below.

  • Page 4: Electrical Installation

    Electrical Installation The diagrams below show the electrical connection points for the RM6-IV. As the instrument is designed for continuous use no power switch is fitted. It is recommended that an external switch and fuse be provided to allow the unit to be removed for servicing.
  • Page 5 Examples of sensor connection.
  • Page 6 DIP Switch & Link Settings The RM6 has two DIP switches and a set of input links located on the main board. To dismantle the instrument and gain access to the switches and links firstly remove the earth screw which passes through the side panel of the aluminium case then remove the four screws which secure the front display panel to the case and pull the display out of the case.

    CAL mode. See “Setting Up the RM6-IV”, page 10, for details of this mode. Some of these functions are only seen when USER input mode and some when in the standard voltage or current selection input mode.
  • Page 9 CAL mode. When set to on the alarm setpoint functions selected in A!SA and A@SA will be accessible by normal function setup mode entry. See “Setting Up the RM6-IV” chapter for details of calibration and function setup modes.

  • Page 13 8 - .4 Setting the alarm trip times ( To set alarm 1 low setpoint the function A1tt must be flashing with the previous setting, use the ^ or v button to adjust the setting to the required value. Alarm 2 trip times may be set in the same manner. 8 - .5 Setting the alarm normally open/ normally closed operation (...
  • Page 14 2. Use the ^ or v button to change this value. When the required value is reached press and release the F push button to accept this new setting and enter the next function. 8 - .9 Setting the decimal point ( The decimal point may be set to none, one, two or three decimal places.
  • Page 15 The input function is used to select the input signal range. The RM6-IV has 6 preset input ranges and one user (USER) configurable range. The preset ranges are 0 - 20mA, 4 - 20mA, 0 - 0.1 Volts, 0 - 1 Volt, 0 - 10 Volts and 0 - 100 Volts.
  • Page 16 8 - .14 Scale ( ) function The scale function allows the display values to be set for the input limits. Note: this function will not be accessible if the input function is set to USER. To alter the scale values follow the procedure below. 1.
  • Page 17 Standard (Stnd) - In this mode the inputs are simply scaled, if required, and displayed. Square root (SQRt) - see below for description. To change the setting follow the procedure below. 1. Enter via CAL mode then enter the function mode as described earlier.

  • Page 18: Setup Examples

    Setup Examples This section contains examples of setting up some of the RM6-IV functions with the exception of the USER function, this is dealt with in its own section. It is assumed in all but one case that only one change of function is required, the final example shows the procedure for multiple changes.
  • Page 19 9 - .2 Setting the display brightness New setting 10. Old setting 15. Enter the function mode. Display shows FUNC followed by first function. Press and release the F push button until the display shows brgt followed by 15 (old setting). Press and release the v push button until 10 is observed on the display.
  • Page 20 9 - .4 Setting the input range New range 0 - 20mA Old range 4 - 20mA Enter via CAL mode Enter the function mode. Press and release the F push button until 1NPt appears on the display followed 4-20 (old setting). Press and release the v push button until 0-20 appears on the display.
  • Page 22 Setting Up The User Function 10.1 Setting up the user function ( The extra functions which appear as you scroll through the functions are: CAL1 - First calibration input CAL2 - Second calibration input OFSt - Offset value In setting up the user function you will be setting the limits of the input by applying a signal at both these limits and assigning a value to be displayed for each input.
  • Page 23 Setting CAL2 Since CAL1 and CAL2 are independent functions they do not need to be set together, thus CAL2 may be set following the CAL1 setting or set individually. The setting procedure is identical to the CAL1 procedure. Note that if setting CAL2 directly after CAL1 then you will be starting from step 6 in the instructions below.
  • Page 24 Enter the function mode. FUNC will be displayed. Press and release the F push button until 1NPt appears on the display followed by the old display (0-20). Use the ^ push button to obtain the USER display message. Press the F push button to obtain a CAL1 then press ^ and v push buttons together, a reading from the input will follow.
  • Page 25 Setting the offset (OFSt) The offset function appears only in user mode (standard and square root function). It allows the calibration curve to be offset by a set value. The set value will be added to, or subtracted from the display value along the whole input range.

  • Page 26: Troubleshooting

    The following section details some common setup problems encountered by instrumentation meters of the RM6 type. See “Setting Up the RM6-IV” section for details on entering the function mode if you need to check settings. 1. Display not illuminated - check power supply connections.
