1. OVERVIEW 1.1 Introduction to model Micra E The MICRA-E model from the KOSMOS SERIE is a digital multifunction instrument which allows the user to program the input as a: - DC VOLTMETER - AC VOLTMETER (TRMS) - DC AMMETER - AC AMMETER (TRMS) The basic instrument is a soldered assembly composed of a main board, a tricolor programmable display and a power circuit.
Programming can also be done via PC with free software available in our website www.ditel.es provided that the ❑ serial option, RS2 ó RS4, has been installed.

Accessing to programmed parameters Thanks to the tree structure, the programming routines allow to access to change one parameter without passing through the whole list of parameters. To advance through programming The progress through the programming routines is done by pressing key.
2.1 - Power Supply and connectors 2.1 - Alimentación y conectores WARNING: If not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, protection against hazards may be impaired. In order to guarantee the electromagnetic compatibility, the following guidelines should be kept in mind: Power supply wires may be routed separated from signal wires.
2.2 – WIRING OVERVIEW ATTENTION: MICRA-E INPUT WIRING SIGNAL Before connecting signal wires, the Signal and Input Range should be verified for proper position. CAUTION: Connect Orly one input signal range to the meter. Hazardous signal levels may be present on unused inputs.

4.1. Scale Scaling consists of assigning a display value to each input signal value. With MICRA-E it is achieved by programming two Direct scale Reversed scale coordinates (input1, display1) and (input2, display2), between which is established a linear relation where to each input signal value corresponds a display value.
4.1.1 Descripción menús configuración Display SCAL method The input and display values are programmed manually. This method can be used when the value of the signal supplied by the transducer at each points of the process is known. tEACH method The input values are introduced directly from the signal present in the input connector when each point is programmed.

Filter P Filter of ponderated average. The value will be modified through the key. This parameter will set in reverse order the cut-off frequency of the low pass filter, getting the filter deactivated for 0 value. Round Will take each one of the values by pressing successively on the key.
5. KEYBOARD AND CONNECTOR FUNCTIONS 5.1 - – Keyboard functions Several functions can be controlled via keyboard that will produce different actions depending on the instrument operating mode: Mode -RUN-: MAX/MIN function Activated after pressing on the key. From the normal reading mode, a press shows the maximum value read by the instrument since the last time it has been switched on, unless a RESET MAX/MIN is done, the MAX led will light up.

In -Prog- mode: 3s (RETURN TO FACTORY PROGRAMMING) Allows entering a code of access to the reset of the configuration parameters, this code is 74. When entering this code the instrument shows the LoAdIng dEFAuLt ConFIGurAtIon legend, following StorE, which means that they have been stored in the non volatile memory of the instrument.
5.2 - Connector functions The connector CN3 provides 3 optocoupled inputs that can be operated from contacts logic levels supplied by an external electronic system. Three different functions may be then added to the functions available from the front panel keys.
5.2.1 – Logic functions diagram LoGIn Inp-1 Inp-2 Inp-3 -Pro- -Pro- -Pro- 5.2.2 - Table of programmable functions • Nº: Number to select the function by software. • Function: Function name. • Description: Description and characteristics of the function. • Activation by: Falling edge: the function is activated applying a falling edge to the corresponding pin with respect to common.

5.2.3 - Programming the functions Once the user has acceded the menu of logic functions configuration, he can select, by pressing the key, a function among those of the table. If the user selects the logic functions 7, the instrument will display any of these 2 messages.
6. PROGRAMMING LOCK OUT BY SOFTWARE The instrument is delivered with the programming locked out, giving access to all the programming levels. Once completed the instrument programming we recommend the following security measures be taken: Lock out the programming access to prevent from programmed parameters modifications. Lock out keyboard functions to prevent from accidental modifications.
Menus or submenus that can be locked out are: • Setpoint 1 configuration (SEt 1). • Setpoint 2 configuration (SEt 2). • Setpoint 3 configuration (SEt 3). • Setpoint 4 configuration (SEt 4). • Input configuration (InPut). • Scaling (SCAL). •...

7.1 –SETPOINTS OUTPUT 7.1.1 – Introduction An option of 2 or 4 SETPOINTS, programmable within the full display range, can be incorporated to the unit thus providing alarm and control capabilities by means of individual LED indicators and relay or transistor outputs. All the setpoints provide independently programmable value, time delay (in seconds), asymmetrical or symmetrical hysteresis (in counts of display) and selectable HI/LO acting.
7.1.2 –Description of operation As programmed like independent setpoints, the alarm outputs activate when the display value reaches the user-programmed value. The independent alarms programming requires definition of the following basic parameters: a. HI/ LO ACTING MODE. In HI mode, the output activates when the display value exceeds the setpoint level and in LO mode, the output activates when the display value falls below the setpoint b.
7.1.3 – Installation Lift out the electronics assembly from the case and use a screw-driver to push on the junctions between the case and the shadow areas to detach them from the case. See fig. The so performed orifice will allow any of the setpoints (2RE, 4RE, 4OP or 4OPP) board output connectors be brought out at the rear of the instrument.
Each output card is supplied with an adhesive label that indicates the wiring connections of each option. To help identifying each terminal, this label should be placed in the lower side of the meter case, beside the basic functions label. NOTE: In case that the outputs are used to drive inductive loads, it is recommended to add an RC network between the coil terminals (preferably) or between the relay contacts to limit electromagnetic effects.

7.1.7 – Direct access to the setpoints value programming If any of the options corresponding to the setpoints has been installed, it is possible to accede directly to the setpoints value without need to go through the programming menu just by pressing the key in PROG mode, as showed in diagram below, supposing that the card installed are 4RE, 4OP or 4OPP, if it is the 2RE card only Set1 y Set2 would appear.
KOSMOS instruments to a PC and whole programming, as well as to verify its communication’s hardware. Three communication modes are available; the ASCII mode uses a simple protocol compatible with several DITEL instruments. The ISO mode, in accordance with the ISO 1745 norm, allows a more effective communication in noisy environments as it checks the messages validity checking both transmission and reception.

7.3 ANALOG OUTPUT 7.3.1 – Introduction Two ranges of analog output (0-10 V y 4-20 mA) can be incorporated to the MICRA E by means of an additional card, either the NMV card for voltage output or the NMA card for current output, which is installed on the meter's main board via plug-in connector M3, both cards, cannot be used simultaneously.
7.3.3 – Connection Each output card is supplied with an adhesive label that indicates the wiring connections of each option (see fig.). To help identifying each terminal, this label should be placed in the lower side of the meter case, beside the basic functions label.
