If any part is missing or the meter malfunctions, please contact your supplier or the factory for assistance. 1.3 Conduit/Stopping Plug The Tek-LCD 7802A is provided with three ¾ NPT threaded conduit openings and one IP68 rated ¾ NPT plastic conduit plug. The conduit/stopping plug included has 1.29 wrenching flats and a screwdriver slot.
2 Product Description 2.1 Introduction The Tek-LCD 7802A is a plastic field mounted loop-powered rate/totalizer fully featured for demanding applications in the harshest environmental conditions. The meter derives all of its power from the 4-20 mA loop. It is programmed using the four through-window buttons, without removing the cover, and can be scaled with or without a calibration signal.

Tek-LCD 7800A-6846SS Stainless Steel Pipe Mounting Kit 2.5 Mounting The Tek-LCD 7802A has two slotted mounting flanges that may be used for pipe mounting or wall mounting. Alternatively, the unit may be supported by the conduit using the conduit holes provided.
3 Connections WARNING • Static electricity can damage sensitive components. • Observe safe handling precautions for static-sensitive components. • Use proper grounding procedures/codes. • If the meter is installed in a high voltage environment and a fault or installation error occurs, high voltage may be present on any lead or terminal.
Figure 1. Connector Board 3.1 Input Signal & Backlight Connections Signal and backlight connections are made to a four-terminal connector mounted in the base of the enclosure. For installations without backlight, only the two signal terminals are connected. The 4-20 mA input with no backlight has a maximum voltage drop of 3 V and is wired as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 3. Input Connections with Loop-Powered Backlight Figure 4. Input Connections with Externally-Powered Backlight It is possible to use the same transmitter (signal loop) power supply for the externally powered backlight. The backlight circuit will draw 25 mA in addition to the loop circuit. 3.2 External Reset Connection External reset connections are made to two terminals labelled Reset.
Figure 6, or drive a relay as shown in Figure 7. To avoid damaging the Tek-LCD 7802A’s amplifying components, use care not to wire incorrectly or exceed output ratings. A diode, such as 1N4000 series, will provide protection from relay transients.
4.2 Through-Window Buttons The Tek-LCD 7802A is equipped with four sensors that operate as through-window buttons so that it can be programmed and operated without removing the cover. These buttons can be disabled for security by selecting the LOCK setting on the switch located on the connector board in the base of the enclosure.
4.3 Buttons and Display • Press the Menu button to enter or exit the Programming Mode at any time. • Press the Right arrow button to move to the next digit or decimal position during programming. • Press the Up-arrow button to scroll through the menus, decimal point, or to increment the value of a digit.

4.4.2 Setting Numeric Values The numeric values are set using the Right and Up arrow buttons. Press Right arrow to select next digit and Up arrow to increment digit. The digit being changed blinks. Press the Enter button, at any time, to accept a setting or Menu button to exit without saving changes.
4.4.4 Setting the Decimal Point (dEc_PT) Rate decimal point may be set with up to four decimal places or with no decimal point at all. Total decimal point may be set with up to six decimal places or with no decimal point at all. Rate decimal and total decimal are programmed individually.
4.4.5 Programming the Meter (PRoG) It is very important to read the following information, before proceeding to program the meter: • There is no need to recalibrate the meter for milliamps when first received from the factory. • The meter is factory calibrated for milliamps prior to shipment. The calibration equipment is certified to NIST standards.
4.4.6 Scaling the Meter (SCALE) The 4-20 mA input can be scaled to display the process in engineering units. A signal source is not needed to scale the meter; simply program the inputs and corresponding display values. Figure 8. Scale Menu For instructions on how to program numeric values see 4.4.2 Setting Numeric Values, page 18.
4.4.7 Calibrating the Meter (CAL) To scale the meter without a signal source refer to 4.4.6 Scaling the Meter (Scale), page 21. The meter can be calibrated to display the process in engineering units by applying the appropriate input signal and following the calibration procedure. The use of a calibrated signal source is strongly recommended.
Minimum Input Span The minimum input span is the minimum difference between input 1 and input 2 signals required to complete the calibration or scaling of the meter. The minimum span is 0.10 mA. If the minimum span is not maintained, the meter reverts to input 2, allowing the appropriate input signals to be applied.
4.4.10 Manual or Automatic Total Reset Function (trST) The meter may be programmed to reset the total either manually using the Reset button or automatically. Manual reset button may be disabled to avoid inadvertent total reset. The automatic reset is based on the set point programmed in the Advanced menu: OUTPUT →...
4.4.11 Setting the Tag Display (TAG) The meter can be set to display a combination of seven alphanumeric characters for engineering units (e.g. GALLONS) or for identification (e.g. TANK 3). Press Right arrow to select next unit and Up arrow to increment unit. •...
4.4.12 Setting Up the Password (PASSWRD) The Password menu is used to program a five-digit password to prevent unauthorized changes to the programmed parameter settings. The lock symbol is displayed to indicate that settings are protected. Locking the Meter Enter the Password menu and program a five-digit password. For instructions on how to program numeric values see 4.4.2 Setting Numeric Values, page 18.
If the correct six-digit password is entered, the meter displays the message UNLOCKD (unlocked) and the protection is disabled until a new password is programmed. If the password entered is incorrect, the meter displays the message LOCKED for about two seconds, and then it returns to Run Mode.

4.5.1 Advanced Features Menu To simplify the setup process, functions not needed for most applications are located in the Advanced features menu. Press and hold the Menu button for five seconds to access the Advanced features menu. Press the Enter button to access any menu or press Up arrow button to scroll through choices. Press the Menu button to exit at any time.
4.5.2 Alarm & Pulse Output (OUTPUT) The Tek-LCD 7802A is equipped with an NPN open collector output that may be set up for high or low rate alarm trip point, total alarm trip point, or pulse output based on K-factor. The pulse output frequency may be programmed for 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 Hz.
4.5.4 Pulse Output K-Factor (PulsE) The pulse output K-factor corresponds to the total units (e.g. gallons) needed to generate one pulse. For example, if the K-factor value is set to 10, one pulse is generated for every 10 counts incremented on the display. If the pulse output exceeds the programmed output frequency, pulses are accumulated as pending.
NOTE After entering the last display value, the linearization entries must be saved (SAUE?) before they will be put into effect. However, you may move past this selection using the Up-arrow key if you need to go back and correct and earlier entry.
4.5.11 Low-Flow Cutoff (CUTOFF) The low-flow cutoff feature allows the meter to be programmed so that the often unsteady output from a differential pressure transmitter, at low flow rates, always displays zero on the meter. The default cutoff is zero to prevent negative readings, but this may be overridden to allow them. The cutoff value may be programmed from -0 to 99999.
The Internal calibration menu is part of the Advanced features menu. Press and hold the Menu button for 5 seconds to enter the Advanced features menu. Press the Up- arrow button to scroll to the Internal Calibration menu (ICAL) and press Enter. The meter displays 4.000 mA.
5 Operation 5.1 Front Panel Buttons Operation 5.2 Maximum & Minimum Readings (MAXIMUM & MINIMUM)) The maximum and minimum (peak & valley) readings reached by the rate are stored in the meter since the last reset or power-up. The meter shows MAXIMUM or MINIMUM to differentiate between run mode and max/min display.
5.3 Reset Meter to Factory Defaults When the parameters have been changed in a way that is difficult to determine what’s happening, it might be better to start the setup process from the factory defaults. Instructions to load factory defaults: Enter the Advanced features menu.
