Installation 3.2.2 Installation in a Control Panel For mounting CENTER ONE into a control panel, the following cut-out is required: 91.2 M3 or ø 3.5 For reducing the mechanical strain on the front panel, preferably support the unit. Slide CENTER ONE into the cut-out of the control panel.
Installation 3.2.3 Use as Desk-Top Unit CENTER ONE is also suited for use as desk-top unit. For this purpose, two self-adhesive rubber feet as well as a slip-on rubber bar are supplied with it. Stick the two supplied rubber feet to the rear part of the bottom plate.
DANGER: protective low voltage According to EN 61010, voltages exceeding 30 VAC or 60 VDC are hazardous. If you are using CENTER ONE as desk-top unit you may only connect a protective low voltage (SELV). Pin assignment Pin assignment of the 9-pin D-Sub appliance connector:...
DANGER: protective low voltage According to EN 61010, voltages exceeding 30 VAC or 60 VDC are hazardous. If you are using CENTER ONE as desk-top unit you may only connect a protective low voltage (SELV). Connect the peripheral components to the CONTROL connector on the rear of the unit.
• adapts the parameters if required (if another gauge was previously connected). Turning CENTER ONE off Turn CENTER ONE off with the power switch (or cen- trally, via a switched power distributor, if the unit is in- corporated in a rack).
Operation 4.3 Operating Modes CENTER ONE works in the following operating modes: • Measurement mode for displaying measurement values or statuses (→ • Parameter mode for entering or displaying parameters (→ • Test mode for running internal test programs (→...
• press the "PARA" key while you are in the Measure- ment mode. To quit the Parameter mode, … • turn CENTER ONE off • do not press any key for at least 10 s • press the "PARA" key after Parameter X ("bAud"), (to get to the Measurement mode) •...

CENTER ONE does not re- spond to small changes in measured values. As a conse- quence, it will also respond more slowly to changes in the measured values.
Operation 4.6 Test Mode The Test mode is the operating mode in which special parameter values for testing CENTER ONE can be dis- played, entered, or modified. To get to the Test mode, … • press any key when turning CENTER ONE on •...

Operation I/O test Test of the two relays of CENTER ONE. The program tests their switching function. Caution Caution: The relays switch irrespective of the pressure Starting a test program may cause unwanted effects in connected control systems. Disconnect all gauge and control system lines to ensure that no control commands or mes- sages are triggered by mistake.

Operation RS232C test Test of the RS232C interface. CENTER ONE repeats each sign transmitted by the communicating HOST. The data transferred from/to CENTER ONE can be displayed by the computer only (→ section 5). Test sequence The test runs automatically.
5 Communication (Serial Interface) 5.1 RS232C Interface The serial interface is used for communication between the CENTER ONE and a computer. A terminal can be connected for test purposes. When the CENTER ONE is put into operation, it starts transmitting measured values in intervals of 1 s. As soon as the first character is transferred to the CENTER ONE, the automatic transmission of measured values stops.

<–––––––––– <CR><LF> "end of message" Error processing All strings received are verified in the CENTER ONE. If an error is detected, a negative acknowledgment <NAK> is output. The appropriate flag is set in the ERROR word. Errors can be decoded when the ERROR word is read.
Maintenance 6 Maintenance The product requires no maintenance. Cleaning CENTER ONE For cleaning the outside of CENTER ONE, a slightly moist cloth will usually do. Do not use any aggressive or scouring cleaning agents. DANGER DANGER: mains voltage Contact with live parts is extremely hazardous when liquids penetrate into the unit.
