POWER CONNECTION-CN1 INSTALLATION To meet the requirements of the directive EN61010-1, where the unit is permanently connected to the mains supply it is obligatory to install a circuit breaking device easy reachable to the operator and clearly marked as the disconnect device. WARNING In order to guarantee electromagnetic compatibility, the following guidelines for cable wiring must be followed:...

The programming instructions are composed by a general description and a series of step-by-step instructions to be followed sequentially. Each menu step is represented by an illustration of the display and keyboard module with indicators (display and LED's), reference [page number . figure number] and a text describing the action of each key at that step. [page nº/figure nº] Mnemo In the step-by-step instructions, you are given the action of the three buttons mainly used to program data.
If the 9181 should work with mV (Load-Cell, shunt or similar ) we choose LoAd. This input accepts up to 500mV. If the 9181 should work with process signal in V or mA we select ProC and then U or mA according needed. If 1V input is used should be connected to mV input according drawing on pag.15.

MENU 2B - BALANCED FILTER The balanced filter acts as a delay on the display response to signal variations produced at the input. The effect of incrementing this filter level results in a softer response of the display to the input variations. The filtering level is programmable from 0 to 9.
Page 25
MENU 2B - DAMPING FILTER The damping filter cuts off input values exceeding from the limits of a simmetrical band. This band becomes more selective as the filter level is increased. The filtering level is programmable from 0 to 9. Level 0 disables the filter. [25.1] Damping filter The figure 25.1 shows the indication (FLt-E) corresponding to entry stage of the damping filter menu.
