Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Relays & 4-20 mA Output Depending on the model number, the Options Board may contain two or four relays and an Isolated 4-20 mA Transmitter Output. Relay con- nections are made to removable screw terminal connectors located at J2 and J3 on the Options Board.
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual 4-20 mA Output The 4-20 mA output from the meter can either be powered from the meter’s internal transmitter power supply, (if it is not being used to power the input loop), or by an external power supply as the follow- ing diagrams illustrate: Signal Input...
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Programming Overview The meter is programmed using the ENTER button and three jumper arrays. The ENTER button controls the meter’s S ingle B utton S caling (SBS) feature that allows the meter to be completely programmed using just one button.

Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Five Basic Digit/Display-setting Instructions Rather than repeat the S ingle B utton S caling (SBS ) technique for every function it is used in, it will be detailed here and the user can refer to it when necessary.
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Select Input Signal The meter can be programmed to accept current or voltage input using the Signal Input Selection Array. This jumper array is located at the rear of the instrument, next to the screw terminal block. Remove jumper J3 (if installed) to disable Lockout feature.
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Select Calibration Method The meter may be calibrated using an external signal source such as a calibrator (E-[AL), or scaled using the internal source (I-[AL). With I-[AL, a 4-20 mA input can be scaled for any display range without applying a signal.
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual General Calibration/Scaling Instructions Calibration is performed from the front panel using the ENTER but- ton. It does not require any tools or disassembly of the meter. A calibrated signal source is required if external calibration (E-[AL) is selected.
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Calibrate Using an External Calibrator (E-[al) If E-[AL (External Calibration) was selected above in Select Calibration Method, the meter must be calibrated with an external calibrator. Desired values can be programmed using the Five Basic Digit/Display- setting Instructions described on page 19.
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Select Square Root Extraction (L or S) With the square root extraction function activated, the meter takes the square root of the input signal (the output from a differential pressure transmitter) and displays flow rate. The square root extraction feature is calibrated using the same S ingle B utton S caling technique that is used for two-point linear calibration.
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Round Horizontal Tank Calibration Table The following tables can be used to calibrate the meter for displaying volume in a round horizontal tank. The right-most column in each table gives an example of actual calibration points for a 500-gallon tank.
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Isolated 4-20 mA Transmitter Output Programming (ovtpvt) The Isolated 4-20 mA Transmitter Output option can be programmed without a calibrator. This option can be calibrated so that a 4 mA out- put is produced for any number displayed by the meter. The 20 mA output may be programmed to correspond to any number that is at least 501 counts greater or smaller than the number corresponding to 4 mA.
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Alarm Programming Overview The meter is equipped with four alarm points as a standard feature. Each alarm may be programmed for either a high or low alarm and for 0-100% deadband. Front panel LEDs indicate alarm status. Options for two or four relays are available.
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Programming Confirmation To verify that the alarm set and reset points have been programmed as desired, push ENTER, and push ENTER again when ALArS appears. Before the display stops flashing #1 set point value, push ENTER again to advance the display to #1 reset point.
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Alarm Acknowledgment The ACK button on the front panel resets the optional relays only and has no effect on the alarm status LEDs. Automatic & Manual Reset Programming There are two ways to reset the relays: 1.
Model PD690 Universal Process Meter Instruction Manual Lockout Jumper Once the meter has been completely programmed, a lockout jumper can be installed to restrict further modification to the meter. This jumper is located at the rear of the instrument and is labeled J3. When ENTER is pushed with the lockout jumper in place, only ALArS and ovtPvt routines are displayed.
