MODEL LD - LARGE SERIAL SLAVE DISPLAY
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Large Serial Slave Display is a versatile display that accepts serial ASCII
data from a host device and displays the received characters. The displayable
data includes numeric, 7-segment alphabetic and certain punctuation characters.
The 6-digit displays are available in either 2.25" or 4" high red LED digits
with adjustable display intensity. The 2.25" high models are readable up to 130
feet. The 4" high models are readable up to 180 feet. Both versions are
constructed of a NEMA 4X/IP65 enclosure in light weight aluminum.
The Serial Slave has two internal display buffers, allowing two separate
display values or messages to be viewed. The main (primary) display typically
shows dynamic data (count, rate, process, etc.), usually received directly from
another meter. The secondary display typically shows a fixed message or value,
such as a system or machine identifier, or a target production value. The main
and secondary displays can be toggled either manually or automatically at a user
selected toggle speed. Both displays are retained in memory when power is
removed from the unit.
For single meter remote display applications, the Serial Slave can be
connected directly to a Red Lion (or compatible) meter with RS232 or RS485
serial communications. The slave can display the meter value on its main display
without requiring a PC or other serial interface.
Multiple slaves are connected using an RS485 serial bus. If unique meter
addresses are assigned, specific data can be displayed by a single slave on the
bus. When multiple slaves are assigned the same address, common data can be
displayed by multiple units in different locations.
Serial communications parameters are fully programmable, with baud rates
up to 38.4 Kbps. Special command characters allow display selection and
display intensity adjustment through the serial input. In addition to the serial
input, a programmable User Input is provided to perform a variety of meter
functions.
CAUTION: Risk of Danger.
Read complete instructions prior to
installation and operation of the unit.

SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in this and
corresponding literature, or on equipment, must be observed to ensure personal
safety and to prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to
it. If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use this unit to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or
equipment in the event of a fault to the unit.
The protective conductor terminal is bonded to conductive
parts of the equipment for safety purposes and must be
connected to an external protective earthing system.
