NA6Plus-09 User’s Manual – when the individual characteristics for the analogue output is switched on, the displayed value is linearly transformed according to the entered d_H1, d_H2 and O_Y1, O_Y2 parameters. – the meter regularly controls the values of the entered parameter. If the entered value exceeds the upper or lower range of changes, the meter will not record the parameter.
To obtain a connection with a PC, a converter from available computer interfaces to RS-485 is necessary, e.g. RS-232 to RS-485 (PD5 from LUMEL SA), USB to RS-485 (PD10 from LUMEL SA) or a dedicated RS-485 interface card installed in the computer.

NA6Plus-09 User’s Manual 9. BEFORE YOU NOTIFY A DEFECT In the case of improper operation of the meter, verify the fault in the following table: Symptom Procedure There are no indications on the display, the bar Check the meter power supply connection graph indicates nothing.
(Fig. 16). NA6Plus meter is supported by LU starting from version 2.09. Select the device (NA6Plus) in the program, the port on which the device is installed in Windows, set the appropriate transmission parameters (115200, 8n1) in the access window under Setup, and indicate the update file.
NA6Plus-09 User’s Manual duration. LU program can be closed and then we can read the previous configuration from the file and save it to the meter using e-Con. Caution! If the connection is interrupted or the power is turned off while updating the meter software, it may cause permanent damage to the device.
