Introduction Please contact us if you need help, if you have a complaint, or if you have suggestions to help us improve our products or services for you. If you contact us about a product you already have, please tell us the full model number and serial number, so that we can give you accurate and fast help.
Please carefully read all warnings and ONLY install the meter when you are sure that you’ve covered all aspects. Connect the meter according to current IEE regulations and separate all wiring according to IEC1010. Power supplies to this equipment must have anti-surge (T) fuses at 125mA for 230V supply, 250mA for 110V supply or 1A for DC supplies in the range 11-30VDC.
General Description The EasyReader displays are large versions of the popular “Intuitive” Lite process meter family. They use a dual slope integration method to give up to 9999 count resolution of +/-20mA or +/-10V analogue input signals. This allows for normal 4-20mA and 0-10V process signals with 9999 count resolution, and 1-5V process signals with at least 9999 count resolution.
Getting Started First, check that the display will suit your application and the available power source (either 95-265 VAC or 11-30 VDC). If you asked us to configure the display for you, please check that the scaling and settings agree with your requirements.
Connections We supply detachable screw terminal connectors to make installation as easy as possible for you. You should use multistrand insulated wire with ferrules to DIN46228/1. You can use stripped wire with cross sectional area from 0.5 to 2.5mm . Strip back insulation 7mm. 3 cable glands accept the 3 groups of cables up to 6mm diameter.
Calibration Methods There are two ways you can calibrate your meter. You can type-in theoretical calibration values, or you can connect the meter to your system and make the meter’s readings agree with known conditions in the system. 1) Calibration without the need for an input signal. This is known as the ‘THEORETICAL’...
‘THEORETICAL’ Calibration Connect ‘Lockout’ terminal to ‘Common’ terminal. Disconnect the ‘calibration mode’ terminal from common. 1) How to set SPAN and DECIMAL POINT Press the SPAN button for 3 seconds. You’ll see ‘dC V’ or ‘dC A’ if the meter is set for DC Voltage or DC current.
‘DIRECT’ Calibration Connect ‘Lockout’ terminal to ‘common’ terminal Connect ‘calibration mode’ terminal to ’common’ Connect the display to power and a steady input signal before you start. Leave the display powered for 15 minutes before you start, to allow it to reach normal operating temperature. 1) How to set the Span Calibration and Decimal Point position Apply 100% Cal.
Features Automatic Zero-Drift Compensation This cancels long-term zero drift due to ageing, temperature drift, etc. If the reading is within 7 counts of zero for around 100 seconds, the reading will go to zero without changing basic calibra- tion. The correction is not stored when the meter is switched off and is cleared with a RESET input.
Contact closure inputs The contact closure inputs allow you to operate the Tare, peak/valley and reset functions remotely, but only when the meter is ‘locked’ - see page 5. The switched signal is 5V DC at a current of 1.5mA Remote contact-closure inputs Common Calibration mode...
Front panel controls Control Type 4 pushbutton switches located behind a flexible overlay. Function Depends on mode (whether locked or in setup mode) Also depends on remote input contact status - see below..

How to Mount your display 1. Wall Mounting Wall mount your EasyReader display in a clean, dry environment. Drill 4 holes in your wall, spaced as you see in this diagram... The mounting screws you use should have a diameter between 3.4 and 4.6 mm and should be suitable for the material of the wall.
How to Mount your display ... continued 1. Suspension Mounting Suspension mount your EasyReader display in a clean, dry environment. The mounting screws you use should have a diameter between 3.2 and 3.8 mm and should be suitable for the supporting material. You may need to use screw plugs or other screw accessories, if the material is not suitable to take screws directly.
