Access to programmed parameters Because of the menu structure, the programming routines allow access to change one parameter without passing through the whole list of parameters. To advance through programming Progress through programming routines is done by pressing key. In general, push key a certain number of times to select an option and push key to validate the change and to go forward...
Selecting an option from the list When the parameter is an option to be chosen among different possibilities, the key allows you to browse through the list of options until you find the desired parameter. 2.1 – Power Supply and connectors WARNING: If not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, protection against hazards may be impaired.

3.2 – Programming of Load cell input Refer to cell manufacturer’s documentation, particularly with respect to the cell sensitivity and supply voltage specifications. As load cell indicator, the meter’s function is to measure forces (weight, pressure, torque...) applied to a sensing element connected to several bridge type transducers, such as load cell, which supply signal levels up to ±150 mV.
3.3 - Programming of Pt100 input When configuring the meter as thermometer for 3 wires Pt100 sensors, the temperature ranges and resolution available are: Input Range (res. 0.1 º) Range (res. 1 º) (-100.0 to +800.0) ºC (-100 to +800) ºC Pt100 (-148.0 to +1472.0) ºF (-148 to+1472) ºF...
3.4 – Programming of Thermocouple input When configuring meter thermocouple input, the temperature ranges and resolution available are: Input Range (res. 0.1 º) Range (res. 1º) (-50.0 to +850.0) ºC (-50 to +850) ºC Thermo-couple J (58.0 to +156.0) ºF (58 to +156) ºF (-50.0 to +1250.0) ºC (-50 to +1250) ºC...
Page 23
Example: In a process of temperature control the thermocouple sensor is located in a part of the process where temperature is 5 degrees below than the point at which the control has to be done. By programming an offset of 5 points, with 1 degree resolution, the deviation will be corrected.

Three options are available brIGHT Level 2 ModtA Level 2 (See Sec. 4.4) (See Sec. 4.5) Brightness level selection: the Tare mode: three options are options available are high and low.

In a nonlinear process it is possible to program up to 11 points input-display. Each two points are connected by a straight line and the whole curve represents the relationship between the input value and the display value. In order to obtain more accuracy in the measuring it is recommended to program the highest possible number of points and reduce the segment length.
4.1.1 Programming of the scale There are two methods for programming the scale, the SCAL method and the tEACH method. In the following diagram the SCAL menu is shown as an example; it is exactly the same menu as the tEACH menu.
Page 29
tEACH method Level 2 The input values are introduced directly from the signal present on the input connector when each point is programmed. The display values are programmed manually. This method can be used when it is possible to bring the process to the conditions of each one of the points to be programmed.
4.2 Filter Level 2 Filter of average process value. The value will be modified in the filter menu by pressing the 0 to 9 key. This parameter will set in reverse order the cut-off frequency of the low pass filter; the filter is deactivated with a 0 value. Not available when the instrument is configured for temperature measurement.

tArE 1 tArE 1 In mode tArE1, pressing on the key, stores the current displayed value unless it is over scaled, the TARE LED will light up and from this moment the value displayed is the net value, i.e., the measured value minus the value stored in the tare.

5. KEYBOARD AND CONNECTOR FUNCTIONS 5.1 – Keyboard functions Several functions can be controlled via the keyboard that will produce different actions depending on the instrument operating mode: In -RUN- mode: TARE1, 2 and 3 functions See Sec. 4.5. MAX/MIN function Activated after pressing on the key.

If the code that has been introduced is wrong, the instrument will go back to RUN mode; if it is correct, it will allow access to the security menu. See (Sec. 6). ENTER function One press on the key will bring the instrument to the -Prog-...
5.2 – Connector functions The connector CN3 provides 3 opto coupled inputs that can be operated from logic levels supplied by an external electronic system. Three different functions may then be added to the functions available from the front panel keys. Each function is allocated to a pin (PIN 2, PIN 3, PIN 4) that is activated by applying a low level to each one with respect to PIN 1 or COMMON.

6. PROGRAMMING LOCK OUT BY SOFTWARE The instrument is delivered with access to all the programming levels. Once the instrument is configured, it is possible to restrict access to the configuration menus There are two lockout modes: selective and total. If the parameters are going to be readjusted frequently, make a selective lockout.
