For complete information regarding installation, wiring, and calibration of the sensor, refer to the instruction
manual provided by the sensor manufacturer.
operAtion
The UD10 can be used with generic sensors that
generate a calibrated linear 4-20 mA signal.
UD10 allows the operator to select the upper and lower
range values and unit of measurement. The UD10 then
analyzes the 4-20 mA input signal from the sensor and
displays the value with the designated measurement
unit, and also controls the alarm outputs.
UppER AND lOwER RANgE vAlUES
The upper range value (URV) and lower range value
(LRV) are selected using the magnetic tool and the
UD10's menu system (Main Menu > Device Setup).
The URV corresponds to the 20 mA signal while the
LRV corresponds to 4 mA. The default values are 0 for
the LRV and 100 for the URV.
mEASUREmENT UNIT TEXT
The operator can select the appropriate measurement
unit from a pre-entered list: % (default), PPM, LFL, or
PPB, or he can enter his own custom 4-character string.
Measurement unit text is displayed on the main screen
with the process variable.
lOw FAUlT THRESHOlD
The operator can enter a low input fault threshold in the
range of 0.5 to 4 mA (default is 3.5 mA). When the input
signal is at or below this point, an "Out of Range Low
Fault" is annunciated. This feature can be enabled/
disabled as desired.
HIgH FAUlT THRESHOlD
The operator can enter a high input fault threshold in the
range of 20 to 27 mA (default is 21 mA). When the input
signal is at or above this point, an "Out of Range High
Fault" is annunciated. This feature can be enabled/
disabled as desired.

SENSOR CAlIBRATION
The UD10 does not support generic sensor calibration.
Generic sensors must be pre-calibrated following the
procedure described in the instruction manual provided
by the sensor manufacturer.
4-20 mA OUTpUT READINg
While in Generic mode, the UD10 displays values below
the 4 mA level to allow the use of 0-20 mA sensors.
