User manual - METER SWE-N55L 1. BASIC REQUIREMENTS AND USER SAFETY - The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages caused by inappropriate installation, not maintaining the proper environmental conditions and using the unit contrary to its assignment. - Installation should be conducted by qualified personnel. During installation all available safety requirements should be considered.
Optionally SWE-N55L can be equipped with bistable relay output. The device can be configured via IR remote controller. IR remote controller is not a part of the SWE-N55L and must be ordered separately. 3. TECHNICAL DATA Minimal supply current 3.5 mA, device supplied from current loop...

User manual - METER SWE-N55L 6. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Device is supplied from current loop. For proper work of device it is required to guarantee that signal value of current loop is greater than 3.5 mA. If signal value is too low then running decimal point is displayed.
User manual - METER SWE-N55L 6.2. DETECTION OF THE PEAK VALUES The SWE-N55L controller is equipped with peaks detection function. It can detect a peaks of the input signal and display their values. Presets connected with this function are placed in “HOLd” menu (see description of “HOLd” menu). The detection of the peak can be done if the measured signal raises and drops of value at least equal to parameter “PEA”...

User manual - METER SWE-N55L The device can be configured via IR remote controller but it must be supplied at least by 10mA current and the temperature must be at least 0°C in order to do that. 7.1. PROGRAMMING MENU To enter main menu (being in the measurement mode) operator must to press and hold at least 2 sec.
User manual - METER SWE-N55L 7.2.2. Switch parameters (“LIST” type) Switch parameters can be described as a sets of values (a lists) out of which only one of the options available on the list can be selected for the given parameter. Options of switching parameter are selected using keys.

User manual - METER SWE-N55L “SEt2” - second threshold of the relay (range -999 ÷ 9999). Negative values can be input by selecting a “-” sign on first digit ( to change value use [^] and [v] buttons). This threshold is accessible when “ modE” parameter is set to “in” or “out” value.
User manual - METER SWE-N55L “AL” - this parameter defines the relay reaction when some critical situations occurs: “noCH” - relay do not change his state, “on” - relay will be turned ON , “oFF” - relay will be turned OFF.

User manual - METER SWE-N55L If user defined characteristic is selected (parameter “CHAr” = “USEr”) the parameters “Lo C” and “Hi C” are not available for modification, due to their values are calculated from defined characteristic. “AddP” - this menu allow user to add single point to the user defined characteristic.
User manual - METER SWE-N55L “H r1” - relay/LED output R operation mode: “rEAL” - relay/LED operates depend on the current value, “HOLd” - relay/LED operates depend on the peak (drop) value. 7.3.4. “Scod” parameter This parameter defines user password (4-digits number). If this parameter is set at value “0000”, user password is turned off.

User manual - METER SWE-N55L 8. OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION The current input of the device is equipped with over-current protection circuit. This circuit protects the standard resistor to damage. Maximum input current is set to about 50 mA. When temperature of the standard resistor falls, the protection circuit will turn off himself automatically, and the device will measure the input current again.
