2 Installation and Wiring Sometimes dangerous voltages capable of causing death are present in this instrument. Before doing the installation or any troubleshooting procedures, the power to the equipment must be switched off and isolated. Units suspected of being faulty must be disconnected and removed to a properly equipped workshop for testing and repair.
2.3 Wiring Sometimes dangerous voltages capable of causing death are present in this instrument. Before doing the installation or any troubleshooting procedures, the power to the equipment must be switched off and isolated. Units suspected of being faulty must be disconnected and removed to a properly equipped workshop for testing and repair.
2-3.Power Wiring This equipment is designed for installation in an enclosure which provides adequate protection against electric shock. The enclosure must be connected to earth ground. Local requirements regarding electrical installation should be rigidly observed. Consideration should be given to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing the power terminals.

2.3.5.3 Output 3 2-9 Output 3 Linear Current 2-10 Output 3 Linear Voltage 2.3.6 Digital Input Wiring The digital input can accept a switch (dry contact) or an open collector signal. The digital input function is activated as the switch is closed or an open collector (or a logic signal) is pulled down.
3 Programming During Power on the device will show the PV on the upper display and MV on the lower display. Press to enter the setup menu. Use keys to select the desired parameter. Use The key to reset and go back to the home screen. In the set-up menu, the upper display indicates the parameter symbol, and the lower display indicates the value of the selected parameter.
3-1.Conversion Curve for Linear Type Process Signal Formula: PV = INLO + (INHI-INLO) ((S – SL)/ (SH-SL)) Example: A 4 -20mA current loop pressure transducer with a range of 0-15 kg/cm is connected to the input. The following parameters should be set as follows: INPT = 4–20, INLO = 0.00, INHI = 15.00, DP = 2-DP Of course, the user may select a different value for DP to alter the resolution.
3.8 User Calibration Each unit is calibrated in the factory before shipment. The user can still modify the calibration in the field. The basic calibration of the device is highly stable and set for life. User calibration allows the user to offset the permanent factory calibration in order to: ...
3-3.Filter Characteristics 3.10 Manual Control Some application requires to test with the manual output from the signal conditioner. For this, the manual mode can be used. Use keys to access the MANU mode parameters. Use key to navigate to the manual mode control parameter MV. Set MV to ON to start the manual mode output.
Relay Switch contacts Open collector Pull Low TTL logic level One of the below functions can be chosen by using DI in the setup menu. The digital input needs to be selected in oFS1 or oFS2 as dI1 or dI2. Only one digital input DI1 or DI2 can be used.
4 Calibration Do not proceed through this section unless there is a definite need to re-calibrate the controller. All previous calibration data will be lost. Do not attempt recalibration unless you have appropriate calibration equipment. If calibration data is lost, you will need to return the controller to your supplier who may charge you a service fee to re-calibrate the controller.
Press key to get Rtd.H Parameter. Change the resistance value to 300Ω. Press l key for at least 5 seconds. The display will blink a moment and two values are obtained for RTDH and RTDL. If the display didn't blink or the obtained value is equal to -199.9 or 199.9, then the calibration failed.

Press key and the display will show V1.G Send a 10V signal to the V+ and V- terminals. Press key for at least 5 seconds. The display will blink a moment and a new value is obtained. If the display did not blink or the obtained value is equal -199.9 or 199.9, the calibration failed.
5 Communication This chapter explains the Modbus Communication protocol of the signal conditioner using RS-485 communication. This supports only RTU mode. Data is transmitted as 8-bit binary bytes with 1 start bit,1 stop bit and optional parity checking (None, Odd, Even). Baud rate may be set to 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 57600 and 115200 BPS.

5.2 Exception Responses If the signal conditioner receives a message which contains a corrupted character (parity check error, framing error etc.), or if the CRC16 check fails, the signal conditioner ignores the message. However, if the signal conditioner receives a syntactically correct message which contains an illegal value, it will send an exception response, consisting of five bytes as follows: Slave address +offset function code + exception code + CRC16 Hi +CRC16 Lo...
