This user manual describes model D490-A-PL with an analog 4-20mA input type "-A version". One active 4-20mA current loop can be connected to the D490-A-PL. The D490-A-PL is powered from the loop (sensor signal) and does not require any additional external power supply.
All instructions in this manual are to be observed. ▪ Take careful notice of the " Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures " in the front of this manual. This chapter describes the daily use of the D490-A-PL. This instruction is meant for users / operators. 2.2.
For the Operator, the following functions are available (if activated): ▪ Display value and measuring unit This is the main display information of the D490-A-PL. After selecting any other information, it will always return to this main display automatically. ▪...
3.2. PROGRAMMING SETUP-LEVEL 3.2.1. ENTERING SETUP-LEVEL Configuration of the D490-A-PL is done at SETUP-level, which can be reached at all times while the D490-A-PL remains fully operational. At SETUP-level the display will deactivate the indicator and activate the SETUP indicator.
Page 9 Use the control panel to navigate through SETUP-level PROG-key When a function is selected, this key is used to start the programming sequence. SELECT-key This key is used to select the next function in the list (e.g. 1 → 1.1 → 1.2 → 1). When the top of the list is reached, it will wrap around and return to the function group selection.
Page 10 Step 3: Finishing the programming sequence PROG-key During the programming sequence, this key is used to confirm the new value and return to SETUP-level. To cancel the operation, either press the PROG-key for 3 seconds or wait for 20 seconds: the programming sequence is cancelled and the former value is reinstated.
