CIT 400 1. General and safety-related information on this operating manual This operating manual enables safe and proper handling of the product, and forms part of the device. It should be kept in close proximity to the place of use, accessible for staff members at any time.
CIT 400 1.3 Intended use The multifunctional process transmitter CIT 400 has been especially developed for the supply and data acquisition of 2- and 3-wire-sensors with current signal. The micro-controlled device collect the signal of the sensor and show the measured value in a 4-digit LED-display. For sim- ple handling, the device features an extensive menu system with several menu levels.
CIT 400 2. Product identification The device can be identified by its type plate. It provides the most important data. By the order- ing code, the product can be clearly identified. For identification of the firmware, the program version (e. g. P074) will appear for about 1 second in the display after starting up the device.
CIT 400 3.2 Top-hat rail mounting The unit will be fastened by snapping it onto an installed DIN top-hat rail with a minimum length of 70 mm. 3.3 Front panel mounting The front panel housing has to be fastened by using 2 screw-in clamps.

CIT 400 4. Overvoltage protection For effective protection of the process transmitters, it is necessary to protect power supply and mA outputs by using overvoltage protection devices. We recommend: - Data Pro 2x1 24 V/24 V for potential-free (galvanically isolated) data lines, 25 A leakage current as well as automatic self-control by failsafe diodes, which interrupt the current signal in case of error and cause an error message, given out by the process transmitter.

CIT 400 5.5 Menu list Menu level diSP - parameter of the display (mode) The menus "dIS1" to "dIS6" determine the display mode. Display - scaled measurement value Indicates the scaled measurement value on the display. The indicated dIS1 value may vary between 0.000 and 9999. Confirm with Enter after select- ing "dIS1"...

CIT 400 Menu level rELn - parameter of the contacts (relais) The menu items of this level are responsible for the limit value settings and the switching behav- iour of the relays. Since the menus for the relays have been conceived identically, the descrip- tion is the same for all menus.

CIT 400 Menu level ALLG - unit parameter Menu level contains general unit parameters. Unit parameter - relay exchange With this menu, you can set the exchange of used relays if they reach a CHAn defined value. The background of this function is a pump exchange in order to achieve a regular pump load (capacity utilisation).
CIT 400 6. Troubleshooting Danger of death from electric shock If malfunctions cannot be resolved, put the device out of service (proceed DANGER according to chapter 9 up to 11) In case of malfunction, it must be checked whether the device has been correctly installed me- chanically and electrically.
