General Description This series of displays accepts industrial sensors to allow various physical measurements to be made, such a weight, temperature, pressure, humidity etc. Different models are available for different sensor types. The main function of this series is to give a clear numeric readout of the variable being monitored.

Connections Warning: Disconnect all power before removing the rear of the display There is a wide range of possible locations for the input board, output board and power supply board/s. Their locations depend on the height of digits, number of digits, brightness of digits and any installed options.

Installation hints for best performance This section offers several suggestions which will help you get the best performance from your measurement system. Some sensors generate comparitively small signals which can easily be corrupted by the potentially high level of electrical noise which can be created by electrical machinery such as motors, welding systems, discharge lighting, AC power inverters and solenoids.
Display Brightness You can adjust the display brightness at any time, provided the display is locked. Set1 Set2 Output Alarms Digit Lockout Switch must be ON Max/Min Reset Circuit board Press 3 seconds Set1 Set2 Output Alarms Display shows briL Digit Max/Min Reset...
Meter Calibration Modes You can choose from two main calibration methods. 1. Direct Calibration - this is when you connect the meter to your system and make the meter read what you want it to, at 2 different points. This is the preferred calibration method, because it allows you to calibrate the system as a whole.
Direct Calibration - Full Scale Setting This is when you connect the meter to your system and make the meter read what you want it to, at 2 different points. This is the preferred calibration method, because it allows you to calibrate the system as a whole. How to do direct calibration:- If you have not done so before, please select Direct Calibration mode from the previous page.

Direct Calibration - Zero Setting How to calibrate the ZERO point. Set1 Set2 Output Alarms Lockout Switch must be OFF Digit Max/Min Reset Circuit board Press 3 seconds Apply the lowest calibration signal Set1 Set2 Output Alarms you can achieve, ideally 0% of Digit Max/Min Reset...
Linearisation with Direct Calibration If your system is non linear, you can calibrate the meter and correct for this with the lineariser function. You will need to apply a series of known loads, starting at 0 and working up to full scale. You will then tell the meter what it should read for each applied load.

Linearisation with Direct Calibration - cont’d. Set1 Set2 Output Alarms The display will show SE. 01 Digit Apply your 1st known load to the system Max/Min Reset and press OK. The display will now show rd 01 You can now tell the meter what it should display for this load.

Theoretical Cal. - Decimal Point & Full Scale This is when you type in the sensor’s theoretical signal level at the top and bottom of its range and the value to display, for each signal level. If you have not done so before, please select Theoretical Calibration mode from the Meter Calibration page AND choose whether your input is current or voltage.
Theoretical Calibration - Low end calibration This is when you type in the sensor’s theoretical signal level at the top and bottom of its range and the value to display, for each signal level. If you have not done so before, please select Theoretical Calibration mode from the Meter Calibration page.
Linearisation with Theoretical Cal. If your system is non linear, you can calibrate the meter and correct for this with the lineariser function. With this method, you can enter theoretical values for input signal and display values, with- out having to connect a sensor. First, you must select Theoretical Calibration Mode (see page on calibration Modes) Then, proceed as shown below...
Page 24
Linearisation with Theoretical Cal. - cont’d. Set1 Set2 Output Alarms The display will show In 01 followed by Digit an editing screen. Here you can enter your Max/Min Reset next calibration input signal level using DIGIT button to select each digit in turn. Increase or decrease the value of each digit using the UP or DOWN buttons.
Sensor Drift correction If your system is normally reading 0, for example as is typical with platform scales or a torque meter, you may find a small amount of sensor drift caused by changes in temperature, ageing etc. We can automatically correct for slow, long term drift, by comparing your signal to 0 every 30 seconds, and re-calibrating to remove any detected movement.
Logic input functions The three contact closure inputs on the rear of the meter have default functions which are:- Contact closure 1 = Tare Contact closure 2 = Peak/Valley display Contact closure 3 = Reset You can re-assign these to include :HOLD, Nett/Gross value display, Memory page address 1,2 or 4 (only if Multi-memory MEM option is installed) Lockout Switch must be OFF Set1...
Logic input connections and front buttons The previous page explained how to select the functions of the 3 logic inputs. You can connect remote contact closures or open NPN collectors to activate these logic inputs. The logic input provides a 5V DC signal. When you connect this to common, a current of 1mA will flow.
Factory Defaults You can return the display to its factory default conditions whenever you wish. If you do so, you will permanently loose all your settings and will need to start from the beginning again. The calibration Audit Counter will NOT be reset, there is no way provided to reset this value, as it is intended as a secure record to indicate whether changes have been made to the display since it was last calibrated..
Signal Filtering / Averaging You can adjust the filtering time constant to reduce the effect of noise or instability on your input signal. A larger FIL value will give a more stable display, but the response to signal changes will be slower. Because your output options, such as analogue output, alarm relays and serial output are all derived from the displayed value, they will respond at the same rate as the filtered display.
Page 30
Filter Jump value See the Easy/Advanced mode selection page near the beginning of this manual, and choose advanced mode. The Filter Jump value allows you to decide how the display will respond to a process step change. It does this by overriding the filtering, if the input signal moves by more than a chosen amount in one conversion.
Last Digit rounding up by 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 or 50 You can adjust the way the display rounds up, which is useful if you want to display a very large number, but do not want jitter on the last digit. The display can be set to round up to the nearest 1 (no rounding) 2, 5, 10, 20 or 50 Set1 Set2...
Scale Factor adjustment After you have calibrated your meter, you can use the SCALE feature to make fine adjust- ments to calibration, without affecting the calibration itself. Example Changing volume units of measure from litres to Imperial gallons You could also use the SCALE to convert your readout from litres to imperial gallons, with- out affecting the calibration.
Offset adjustment After you have calibrated your meter, you can use the OF.ST feature to make fine additions or subtractions to the reading, without affecting the calibration itself. Set1 Set2 Output Alarms Digit Max/Min Reset Lockout Switch must be OFF Circuit board Press 3 seconds Set1...
Menu timeout adjustment The display has a default timeout of 60 seconds, to allow you sufficient time to refer to the manual between key operations. You can make this period shorter, if you wish, once you become more familiar with the setup method.
Reverse Display function (mirror image) If you need to be able to see a reflection of the display in a mirror or other reflective surface, for example in a simple heads-up system, or for drivers reversing into a bay, using mirrors only, you can set the display to show as a mirror image.
Bootup routine and Tare save choices When you switch on your meter, it can be set to power up with 3 possible summary mes- sage combinations. The choices are:- bt 0 Segment test, followed by a full summary of software revision, calibration audit number, model number, installed options.
Multi-Program Memory option MEM The three contact closure inputs on the rear of the meter may be used to call up between 1 to 7 additional meter setup memories (pages), if the MEM option has been installed. This allows you to save up to 8 complete sets of independent calibrations, alarm settings, ana- logue output settings and serial comms settings.
Error codes and fault finding 1. Under Range. The meter is being asked to display a value which is more -Ur- negative than its limit of -1999 2. Over Range. The meter is being asked to display a value which is higher -Or- than its limit of 9999 These fault codes could be displayed because the signal is too negative, too...
