  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction This manual contains information for the installation and operation of the PM4-TMR timer mon- itor. The instrument may be set to operate in one of two basic modes namely period (PERd) or scaled period (S.Prd) modes. The mode of operation is selected at the SEt OPER function.

  • Page 4: Mechanical Installation

    Mechanical Installation Choose a mounting position as far away as possible from sources of electrical noise such as motors, generators, fluorescent lights, high voltage cables/bus bars etc. An IP65 or IP67 access cover which may be installed on the panel and surrounds is available as an option to be used when mounting the instrument in damp/dusty positions.

  • Page 5: Electrical Installation

    Electrical installation Electrical installation The PM4 Panel Meter is designed for continuous operation. No power switch is fitted to the unit. It is recommended that an external switch and fuse be provided to allow the unit to be removed for servicing. The plug in, screw type, terminal blocks allow for wires of up to 2.5mm to be fitted.
  • Page 6 Input connections for various operation modes The operation mode is set via the OPER function. Note: Stop and Reset inputs must be voltage free or 0V/5V open collector. The Start/Input input (terminal 11) can be set via the input links. Transducer power supply The standard internal power supply may be link selected to provide a regulated 5V or unregulated 9V or 18V to power the sensor.

Inputs to the STOP and RESET inputs must be either voltage free contact or 0V/5V switching via open collector. Input link notes for terminal 11 inputs are as follows. HYST2 link should be in for inputs between 1V and 5V amplitude (low level of the input pulse must be below 0.5V).

  • Page 19: Explanation Of Functions

    Explanation of functions The PM4 setup and calibration functions are configured through a push button sequence. The three push buttons located at the rear of the instrument (also at the front on some display options) are used to alter settings. Two basic access modes are available: FUNC mode (simple push button sequence) allows access to commonly set up functions such as alarm setpoints.
  • Page 20 Period measurement (PErd mode) To choose the period measurement mode select PErd at the SEt OPER function. The period mode operation is used when a display of the actual time period of the input pulse is required (with no scaling). Eight different period display options are given, from a display in seconds to a display in hours.
  • Page 21 Easy alarm relay adjustment access facility The display has an easy alarm access facility which allows access to the alarm setpoints simply by pressing the F button at the front or rear of the instrument. The first setpoint will then appear and changes to this setpoint may be made to this setpoint via the ^ or v buttons.
  • Page 22 Display Value Relay resets above this Relay value activates A Lo at this value plus or below A HY A HY value A Lo Alarm low operation with hysteresis Time Alarm relay high setpoint A Hi Display: Any display value or OFF Range: Default Value: OFF Displays and sets the high setpoint value for the designated alarm relay .
  • Page 23 Alarm relay hysteresis (deadband) A HY Display: 0 to 9999 Range: Default Value: 10 Displays and sets the alarm relay hysteresis limit for the designated relay . Note will be replaced by the relay number when displayed e.g. A1HY for relay 1. To set a relay hysteresis value go to the A HY function and use the ^ or v push buttons to set the value required then press F to accept this value.
  • Page 24 Alarm relay reset time A rt Display: 0 to 9999 Range: Default Value: 0 Displays and sets the alarm reset delay time in seconds. The reset time is common for both alarm high and low setpoint values. With the alarm condition is removed the alarm relay will stay in its alarm condition for the time selected as the reset time.
  • Page 25 Example: With Alarm 2 set to trail alarm 1, if A1Hi is set to 1000 and A2Hi is set to 50 then Alarm 1 will activate at 1000 and alarm 2 will activate at 1050 (i.e. 1000 + 50). If Alarm 2 had been set at -50 then alarm 2 would activate at 950 (i.e.
  • Page 26 6.13 Bargraph high value bAr~ Display: Range: Any display value Default Value: 1000 Seen only in bargraph display instruments. Displays and sets the bar graph high value i.e. the value on the 7 segment display at which the bargraph will reach its maximum indication (e.g. all LEDs illuminated).
  • Page 27 10 then in other bargaph modes when the 7 segment display reads a value such as 25 the bargraph would be stuck at the high limit of its travel since it cannot go beyond 10. In r.dot mode the display will wrap around at 10 then continue up the bar again and will be at the midpoint of the bargraph when the 7 segment display shows 25 (as it would for a 7 segment display of 15, 35, etc.).
  • Page 28 6.18 Digital output option low value diG_ Display: Range: Any display value Default Value: 0 Seen only with the 16 bit digital output option. Refer to the separate “PM4 Panel Meter Optional Output Addendum” booklet supplied when this option is fitted. Accepts any valid display value. Determines the low scaling point for the b.SCL mode and has no effect on other modes.
  • Page 29 Optional Output Addendum” booklet supplied when this option is fitted for wiring details and link settings. Displays and sets the analog retransmission (4–20mA, 0–1V or 0–10V, link selectable) output high display value (20mA, 1V or 10V) in displayed engineering units. To set the analog output high value go to the REC~ function and use the ^ or v push buttons to set the required value then press F to accept this selection.
