Accessing to programmed parameters Thanks to the tree structure, the programming routines allow to access to change one parameter without passing through the whole list of parameters. To advance through programming The progress through the programming routines is done by pressing key.
Power Supply and connectors WARNING: If not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, protection against hazards may be impaired. In order to guarantee the electromagnetic compatibility, the following guidelines should be kept in mind: Power supply wires may be routed separated from signal wires.Never run power and signal wires in the same conduit.Use shielded cable for signal wiring and connect the shield to the ground of the indicator.
Wiring overview ATTENTION : CA2150-E INPUT WIRING SIGNAL Before connecting signal wires, the Signal and Input Range should be verified for proper position. CAUTION: Connect Only one input signal range to the meter. Hazardous signal levels may be present on unused inputs.

INPUT PROGRAMMING The figure below shows the input configuration menu (CnInP). Divided into four submenus, each one corresponding to the programming of the different types of input: Volt dc, Volt ac, Amp dc, Amp ac. Once the type of signal has been selected you have then to select the range.
DC/ AC VOLTAGE INPUT WIRING (RANGES: 2, 20, 200, 600 V) Note: MAXIMUM TENSION APPLICABLE IS: 600 V DC/ AC If the input range is not superior to 2 V then specific input for 2 V can be used with wiring indicated in figure 2 Description CN2 PIN 1 = COMMUN PIN 2 = SHUNT/ 2 V...
CURRENT TRANSFORMER 1A / 5A AC WIRING VERY IMPORTANT: The connection wires between the transformer and the instrument have to be as short as possible and their section has to allow that the total resistance of the circuit multiplied by the maximum intensity (5 A), do not exceed the power of the current transformer being used;...
SHUNT 50/ 60/ 100 mV DC/ AC WIRING NOTE: we recommend braiding the cables used to wire the shunt to the instrument in order to avoid as much as possible to pick- up interferences. Description CN2 PIN 1 = COMMUN PIN 2 = SHUNT/ 2 V PIN 3 = 200 mA PIN 4 = 1A / 5A...
Scale Scaling consists of assigning a display value to each input signal value. With CA2150-E it is achieved by programming two coordinates (input1, display1) and (input2, display2), between which is established a linear relation where to each input signal value corresponds a display value.
4.1.1 Description menu configuration Display SCAL method The input and display values are programmed manually. This method can be used when the value of the signal supplied by the transducer at each points of the process is known. tEACH method The input values are introduced directly from the signal present in the input connector when each point is programmed.

Filtre P Filter of ponderated average. The value will be modified through the . key. This parameter will set in reverse order the cut-off frequency of the low pass filter, getting the filter deactivated for 0 value. Arrondi Will take each one of the values by pressing successively on the .
KEYBOARD AND CONNECTOR FUNCTIONS Keyboard functions Several functions can be controlled via keyboard that will produce different actions depending on the instrument operating mode: Mode -RUN-: MAX/MIN function Activated after pressing on the . key. From the normal reading mode, a press shows the maximum value read by the instrument since the last time it has been switched on, unless a RESET MAX/MIN is done, the MAX led will light up.

In -Prog- mode: 3s (RETURN TO FACTORY PROGRAMMING) Allows entering a code of access to the reset of the configuration parameters, this code is 74. When entering this code the instrument shows the LoAdIng dEFAuLt ConFIGurAtIon legend, following StorE, which means that they have been stored in the non volatile memory of the instrument.
Connector functions The connector CN3 provides 3 optocoupled inputs that can be operated from contacts logic levels supplied by an external electronic system. Three different functions may be then added to the functions available from the front panel keys. Each function is associated to a pin (PIN 2, PIN 3 y PIN 4) that is activated applying a low level, in each one, with respect to PIN 1 or COMMON.
5.2.2 Table of programmable functions • Nº: Number to select the function by software. • Function: Function name. • Description: Description and characteristics of the function. • Activation by: Falling edge: the function is activated applying a falling edge to the corresponding pin with respect to common. Low level: the function will remain activated as long as the corresponding pin is held at a low level.
5.2.3 Programming the functions Once the user has acceded the menu of logic functions configuration, he can select, by à pressing the key, a function among those of the table. If the user selects the logic functions 7, the instrument will display any of these 2 messages. t-oFF t-on- The second, when activated the corresponding function, will add to the corresponding value sent to the printer the order to print date and time.
PROGRAMMING LOCK OUT BY SOFTWARE The instrument is delivered with the programming locked out, giving access to all the programming levels. Once completed the instrument programming we recommend the following security measures be taken: 1- Lock out the programming access to prevent from programmed parameters modifications. 2- Lock out keyboard functions to prevent from accidental modifications.
OUTPUT OPTIONS Optionally, model CA2150-E can incorporate one or several output options for control or communication: Communication options Serial RS232C Serial RS485 Control options Analog 4-20 mA Analog 0-10 V 2 Relays SPDT 8 A 4 Relays SPST 5 A 4 NPN outputs All mentioned options are opto isolated with respect to input signal and power supply.
Page 33
The following figure shows the location of the different outputs options. The 2 RELAYS, 4 RELAYS, 4NPN options are alternative and only one of them can be placed into the connector The RS232 and RS485 options are also alternative and only one of them can be placed into the connector M2 The 4-20mA or 0-10V option is placed into the connector M3.
Setpoints output 7.1.1 Introduction An option of 2 or 4 SETPOINTS, programmable within the full display range, can be incorporated to the unit thus providing alarm and control capabilities by means of individual LED indicators and relay or transistor outputs. All the setpoints provide independently programmable value, time delay (in seconds), asymmetrical or symmetrical hysteresis (in counts of display) and selectable HI/LO acting.
7.1.2 Description of operation As programmed like independent setpoints, the alarm outputs activate when the display value reaches the user-programmed value. The independent alarms programming requires definition of the following basic parameters: a. HI/ LO ACTING MODE. In HI mode, the output activates when the display value exceeds the setpoint level and in LO mode, the output activates when the display value falls below the setpoint b.
7.1.3 Installation Lift out the electronics assembly from the case and use a screw-driver to push on the junctions between the case and the shadow areas to detach them from the case. See fig. The so performed orifice will allow any of the setpoints 2 Relays SPDT, 4 Relays SPST, 4 Output NPN or 4 Output PNP.
Each output card is supplied with an adhesive label that indicates the wiring connections of each option. To help identifying each terminal, this label should be placed in the lower side of the meter case, beside the basic functions label. NOTE: In case that the outputs are used to drive inductive loads, it is recommended to add an RC network between the coil terminals (preferably) or between the relay contacts to limit electromagnetic effects.
7.1.6 Setpoints menu diagram The complete programming of one of the setpoints is showed here, it is valid for the rest of the setpoints. They can only be programmed if an 2 Relays SPDT, 4 Relays SPST, 4 Output NPN or 4 Output PNP option has been installed or if the logic function nº...
7.1.7 Direct access to the setpoints value programming If any of the options corresponding to the setpoints has been installed, it is possible to accede directly to the setpoints value without need to go through the programming menu just by pressing the key in PROG mode, as showed in diagram below, supposing that the card installed are 4 Relays SPST, 4 Outputs NPN or 4 Outputs PNP, if it is the 2 Relays SPDT card only Set1 y Set2 would appear.
