  • Page 16: Explanation Of Functions

    Explanation of functions The PM4 setup and calibration functions are configured through a push button sequence. The three push buttons located at the rear of the instrument (also at the front on some display options) are used to alter settings. Two basic access modes are available: FUNC mode (simple push button sequence) allows access to commonly set up functions such as alarm setpoints.

  • Page 20 Alarm relay hysteresis (deadband) AxHY Display: 0 to 9999 Range: Default Value: 10 Displays and sets the alarm relay hysteresis limit for the designated relay x. Note x will be replaced by the relay number when displayed e.g. A1HY for relay 1. To set a relay hysteresis value go to the AxHY function and use the ^ or v push buttons to set the value required then press F to accept this value.
  • Page 21 Alarm relay reset time Axrt Display: 0 to 9999 Range: Default Value: 0 Displays and sets the alarm reset delay time in seconds. The reset time is common for both alarm high and low setpoint values. With the alarm condition is removed the alarm relay will stay in its alarm condition for the time selected as the reset time.
  • Page 22 Example: With Alarm 2 set to trail alarm 1, if A1Hi is set to 1000 and A2Hi is set to 50 then Alarm 1 will activate at 1000 and alarm 2 will activate at 1050 (i.e. 1000 + 50). If Alarm 2 had been set at -50 then alarm 2 would activate at 950 (i.e.
  • Page 23 5.13 Bargraph high value bAr~ Display: Range: Any display value Default Value: 1000 Seen only in bargraph display instruments. Displays and sets the bar graph high value i.e. the value on the 7 segment display at which the bargraph will reach its maximum indication (e.g. all LEDs illuminated).
  • Page 24 10 then in other bargaph modes when the 7 segment display reads a value such as 25 the bargraph would be stuck at the high limit of its travel since it cannot go beyond 10. In r.dot mode the display will wrap around at 10 then continue up the bar again and will be at the midpoint of the bargraph when the 7 segment display shows 25 (as it would for a 7 segment display of 15, 35, etc.).

Determines the low scaling point for the b.SCL mode and has no effect on other modes.

Displays and sets the analog retransmission (4–20mA, 0–1V or 0–10V, link selectable) output high display value (20mA, 1V or 10V) in displayed engineering units. To set the analog output high value go to the REC~ function and use the ^ or v push buttons to set the required value then press F to accept this selection.
  • Page 27 the decimal point position may be set. The display will indicate as follows: 0 (no decimal point), 0.1 (1 decimal place), 0.02 (2 decimal places), 0.003 (3 decimal places) and 0.0004 for display with more than 4 digits. Note if the decimal point is altered the display will need to be recalibrated and alarm etc.

  • Page 30 P.HLd - rate peak hold. The display will show the peak rate value (highest positive value) only whilst the remote input terminals are short circuited i.e. the display value can rise but not fall whilst the input terminals are short circuited. The message P.HLd will appear briefly every 8 seconds whilst the input terminals are short circuited to indicate that the peak hold function is active.
  • Page 31 then the totI or rAtE message will appear briefly approximately once every 8 second to reinforce that the display has been switched away from its default display setting. CLR.t - clear total. This function allows the total to be cleared (reset to zero). The message CLrd will appear when this function is operated.
  • Page 32 For a 4–20mA input if you wish to display 0 at 4mA and 1000 at 20mA the square root function will calculate as follows: At 20mA (100%) the display will be 1000 i.e. 1000. At 16mA (75%) the display will be 866 i.e. 0.75 1000.

The scaling factor can be set anywhere in the range from 0 to 9. This factor allows a larger accumulated total by dividing the rate display value down to a smaller number.
  • Page 34 or would incorrectly be displayed as 28640 if the totaliser had no decimal points. This could be adjusted by changing the ESCL value to 2 i.e. 3580 T otal = P revious total + 7200 3600 T otal = P revious total + 286(m If the total has more decimal point places than the rate then the adjustment would have to be the other way i.e.

The instrument will automatically revert to its default display. The ^ or v button can be used to change from the default to the alternate display and the instrument will then return to the default display after a period of around 20 seconds.
  • Page 36 d.HLd - display hold mode. The 7 segment display and retransmission value will be held whilst the remote input display hold switch is closed. Hi - peak (max.) memory mode. With the peak remote input switch open the retransmission will indicate the peak value in memory i.e. the retransmission output can rise but not fall. The retransmission output can be reset by clearing the memory.
  • Page 37 the display reading rises above 1000 the message -or- will flash on and off or the display value will flash on and off instead of the normal display units (see dISP function 5.55). This message can be used to alert operators to the presence of an input which is above the high limit. If this function is not required it should be set to OFF by pressing the ^ and v buttons simultaneously at this function.

  • Page 40: Calibration

    Calibration The instrument can be calibrated via a two point live input calibration method using functions CAL1 and CAL2. For 4-20mA inputs only an alternative method allows display scaling without live inputs using the USER En4 and USER En20 functions. An offset calibration scaling adjustment using the CAL OFSt function is available which allows the scaling to be adjusted by a fixed amount over the entire scale.
  • Page 41 The procedure for entering the second scaling point CAL2 is as follows: a. Ensure that an input signal is present at the input terminals, this will usually be at the high end of the signal range e.g. 20mA for a 4-20mA input. The change in input signal from the CAL1 input must be at least 10% of the input range full scale.
  • Page 42 Offset calibration CAL OFSt - Calibration offset - the calibration offset is a single point adjustment which can be used to alter the calibration scaling values across the entire measuring range without affecting the calibration slope. This method can be used instead of performing a two point calibration when a constant measurement error is found to exist across the entire range.
  • Page 43 Alternative 4-20mA scaling USER En4 - 4mA input scaling without a live input - this calibration method can be used with 4-20mA inputs only. The instrument can be scaled for a 4-20mA input without a live input i.e. this is an alternative method to the CAL1 and CAL2 method of scaling. To perform the first point (En 4) scaling simply press the ^ and v buttons simultaneously when the USER En4 function is displayed.
